Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

This is a Javascript extension which injects a new entry to the right side of the action menu allowing the user to toggle between position:fixed and position:absolute, effectively switching the top menu bar from being stuck to the browser window to being stuck to the top of the webpage. If the user chooses to stick the bar to the top of the page, a cookie is stored so that they need not choose again. When the user is editing a page, the menu bar behaves as they chose, but the toggle button is missing.

Tested with Firefox 3.0.10 and Opera 9.64 in Fedora 9. If you find problems with other browsers please comment.

Prerequisites & Installation Instructions

We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.

You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:

  1. Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
  2. Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
  4. Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
  5. You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
