[Trinidad] Skinning panelPage navigation facets

[Gerard Donnelly <Ge...@amt-sybex.com>]

Hi All,

 

I'm using the XMLMenuModel and displaying it via the facets in
panelPage.

 

It's a 2 level menu and it would be great to have both aligned on the
left of the page, each on a single line (using hint="buttons"). It seems
I can use navigation2 facet for one of the two levels - but not both.

 

navigation1 aligns to the right and navigation3 is a vertical structure.

 

It is possible to skin either of these facets to mimic navigation2
behaviour?

 

I saw a similar question last year hinting that redefining the renderer
would be likeliest way of doing this. Is this still the case?

 

Regards,

Gerry Donnelly

Torben,

Thanks for the tip. 

Should be noted, though, that including navigationGlobal and branding
facets override the css.

Hi Gerard,

One possible solution for this would be to set a stylesheet option on 
the surrounding tr:navigationPane (eg. inlineStyle="text-align: left;").

In theory it should also be possible to set a styleClass on the 
navigationPane and make the changes in the skin. I couldn't get this to 
work on my quick test on it though. This is what i tried:

Set a styleClass on the Pane:

<tr:navigationPane styleClass="nav1" ...>

Skin the Pane in the css:

.nav1 af|navigationPane {
   text-align: left;
}

This _should_ work, but i only got this to work for a global scope (i.e.

omit the ".nav1" in the css)

Hope this helps,
Torben
