I want to customize top menu and add some quick links to outer web in a dropdown list. How is that possible?

Discussion and Answer

What specifically would you like to add? If it is a new pulldown menu see docs at TopMenuSkin.

If you want to add items to existing system menus you'd need to patch skin specific topics listed in TWiki.TopMenuSkin in your TWiki installation. If you do, make a note that you can reapply the changes on a future TWiki or skin update.

Thanks for the reply Peter. Actually i have to add a new pull down menu which will be updated frequently(Addition of new links on regular basis). So currently i have to go to each web and update the top menu. How can it be done in one go i.e. i update it at a single place and it gets updated on each and every web of my twiki?

Two options:

1. Add your menu directly to your TWiki.TopMenuSkinTopicMenu. In this case make a note so that you re-apply the changes when you upgrade TWiki or the TopMenuSkin.

2. Create a WebTopMenu in each web that INCLUDEs a common pulldown menu bullet list, such as from a Main.TopMenuSharedPulldown topic.
