Description (last modified by Matthew Good)

On the projects.edgewall.com trac installation you have a left menu bar. Is this a feature of trac? Is it done with the clearsilver templates? If not (or even if so) I would like to see this as a feature of trac:

Allow customization of the 'navigation' areas (header, footer, left) through trac rather than using the templates.

Milestone: 0.7.1
Summary: Left navigation barCustom header/footer templates and CSS for custom layouts

This is something we've been discussing earlier, and somehow never made it into a ticket.

On projects.edgewall.com we right now have a patch for the actual templates, applied automatically when we update it. This is of course far from optimal.

The most common request is being able to add Trac to an existing layout.

The case boils down to:

  • header.cs should include a site_header.cs at the top
  • footer.cs should include a site_footer.cs at the bottom
  • site_* should reside in the Environment, preferrably in <projenv>/templates/
  • <projenv>/templates/ should contain empty defaults and a README with a description
  • header.cs should include a site.css after all 'system' styles, to allow custom overrides.
  • site.css should probably reside in the Environment.

I would suggest to include site_header.cs directly before the header div (which contains the Trac logo), and include site_footer.cs directly before the closing <body> tag (and thus after the footer div).

I agree that this approach, combined with a CSS customization layer that still needs to be worked out*, would indeed solve 99% of the integration requirements.

Exactly, and the remaining 1% is typically solved by editing the actual Trac templates themselves.

The level of complexity to support any simpler customization options is hardly worth an effort that better spent elsewhere. :)

This is simple enough to add to 0.7 even, if only to make our own project website easier to maintain :-P
