SID-00258: generate list of webs

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.1.1	Perl version:
Category:		Server OS:		Last update:	16 years ago

Hello, To generate a bulleted list of webs, I have:

 %WEBLIST{" * [[$name.WebHome]]"}% 

But what I want is to create a simple list of webs with the coloured squares next to them, like this TWiki has (Blog, Codev, Main, Plugins, etc.)

Thanks!

Discussion and Answer

If you go to WebLeftBar, you'll see that it's an include of TWiki.WebLeftBarWebsList, which does this (rendered):

I don't know how the bullets are removed there though. So I've had to fake it out like so:

I think the bullets are removed by the property list-style-type:none; in the class patternLeftBarContents defined on style.css (in TWiki site it is in http://twiki.org/p/pub/TWiki04x03/TWikiNetSkin/style.css in your installation it may be somewhere else). This property is applied If you insert the WEBLIST code in a WebLeftBar topic.

#patternLeftBarContents ul {
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
}

So if you redefine ul tag before inserting the WEBLIST code you can remove the bullets even inside a topic. Like this.

The raw code is this

<style type="text/css" media="all">
ul {
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
}
</style>
%WEBLIST{"   * <a href=\"%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$name/%HOMETOPIC%\"><span style=\"background-color: %$markerVAR{\"WEBBGCOLOR\" web=$qname}$marker%\">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;<b>$name</b></a>"}%

Combining Sean's and Enrique's ideas, I now have:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
ul {
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
}
</style>
%WEBLIST{"   * <a href=\"%SCRIPTURLPATH%{"view")%/$name/%HOMETOPIC%\"><img src=\"%ICONURL{web-bg}%\"border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" style=\"background-color:%$markerVAR{\"WEBBGCOLOR\"web=$qname}$marker%\" />&nbsp;$indentedname</a>"}%

Thanks for your help!

(sorry, I accidentally changed their code in some way....)
