Simple fixed wiki structure menu

posts: 4 Brazil

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie trying to do something that, from my point of view, should be simple... but it's been tricky by now: show my wiki structure on left sidebar.

First, I've tried to use "menu" module. But, since my wiki has already two levels of topics, users can't navigate to first level pages using this module, because their links become non-navigable containers for those from level two inside them.

Second, I've tried to use "menupage" module, appointed to my wiki's top page. Well, when I'm at this top page, module shows exactly what I want :-) , since a toc is generated for that page. But when I go down to other levels, module does not shows high levels anymore.

Third, I'd could use a menu module linked to a "hand made" menu, but I don't want to be obligated to manually update this menu every time anyone creates a new wiki page.

Well... after all, can Tiki show a structure (with more than one level) as a menu, with all levels being navigable (I mean, not only collapsable containers), and fixed (I mean, keeping the same links, any page I'm in)?

Thanks in advance and regards from Brazil.

You didn't specify which Tiki version you're using, but multi-level structure menus definitely work in TIki 15.x. I made a quick menu on the Tiki demo site:

Wiki Structure TOC
Wiki Structure TOC

  1. Create your structure (with as menu levels as you want.
  2. Add the Menu module to your site, specifying the name of the structure you created.
