Installation:
=============

Copy fixedleft.py into ...mywiki/data/plugin/theme/

Copy img, css and js directories into ...mywiki/htdocs/fixedleft/

Copy action/PageActions.py into ...mywiki/data/plugin/action/
(This same file is used for Mandarin and Solinoid themes)


Optional CMS-like theme installation:
=====================================


The fixedleftcms theme may be useful if casual visitors to your web 
site are not familar with the wiki concept and sometimes get lost 
in the wiki underlay pages.  With the fixedleftcms theme, the wiki 
navigation links in the left sidebar may be supplemented with links 
to the most important pages of your web site by adding configuration 
data to wikiconfig.py/farmconfig.py.

The fixedleftmanager theme is configured with the Icon Bar by default 
and may be useful as is if you have a small monitor (1024x768 or less) 
or prefer icons.

The fixedleftcms theme reverts to fixedleft (or the user's preferred 
theme) for any user who is logged in.  One way to test changes to 
fixedleftcms is to log out, set the wiki's default theme to 
fixedleftcms, and restart the wiki server if required.  The alternative 
approach below changes the wiki's default theme only after some testing 
is successful.

 1. Copy fixedleftmanager.py and fixedleftcms.py into 
...mywiki/data/plugin/theme/ (there are no htdocs, the fixedleft htdocs 
are used).  Restart the wiki server if required, set fixedleftmanager 
as your preferred theme and test.

 2. Copy the sample theme configurations from wikiconfigSample.py (in 
downloaded zip archive) to the bottom of your 
wikiconfig.py/farmconfig.py.  Change the list of panels in 
fixedleftManagerViewPanels to reflect the requirements of the new CMS 
theme.  You may need to restart your wiki server with each change.

 3. When complete, copy the panel list from fixedleftManagerViewPanels 
to fixedleftCMSViewPanels.  Change the default theme of your wiki to 
fixedleftcms.  Logout and restart your wiki server if necessary.

 4. Test again. Users who are not logged in will see the fixedleftcms 
theme.  Logged in users will see their preferred theme or fixedleft.

 5. Delete the fixedleftmanager theme, revert to the default 
configuration,  or create a lightweight theme for lightweight users
by changing the theme configuration as desired.
