Hi Mark-

Thanks for pitching in to help. Can you summarize again what you did to fix it?
I didn't follow you completely.

Marc Prud'hommeaux helped me initially with the instructions.  He said:

I've re-run the autoexport, and things look good. Again, I'd like to understand what got fixed, as (you can imagine) it has been hours of pain for me in looking at it.

I'll double check it tomorrow and then follow the steps to make that the official River project
pages.

The http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI page explains some about the autoexport that takes place (to generate HTML). There is an autoexport template that

There are also css style sheets, etc that I 'borrowed' from openjpa. You can see

Jim,

I noticed the problem with the doubled navigation bar is still there and
I wanted to see whether I could find the problem, but as you already
suspected you need admin rights for that.

Could you post that template here so I could have a look.

I've spent lots of hours sorting out what doubles the navigation part of
the site and I located the cause.

First I have no good understanding what exactly triggers the new
generation of the static HTML based on the Confluence site, probably
something that is ran at a regular interval, however updates in
confluence in the main content are almost instantly visible through the staging site at http://cwiki.apache.org/RIVER/, however modifications to
whatever is related to the navigation isn't.

Something I observed wasthat a fix in the search form (related to the
non existing river.apache.org domain) only appeared in the bottom half
of the double navigation which might indicate that there is a ghost
image of the SideNav page in the Apache River Space. As an experiment I decided to remove the SideNav page and recreated it and guess what, some
pages have the navigation tripled.

I couldn't find anything strange in the autoexport macro, the other
documents related to the autoexport didn't give me a clue of where to
search for the staging are to see what I could detect over there. It
looked like it was at people.apache.org in /www/confluence-exports/ RIVER
but these seem to be outdated. But as it turned out I got admin
privileges for the River Space and found the facility to purge deleted
pages and that solved the problem, see
http://cwiki.apache.org/RIVER/downloads.html

I don't know whether a Confluence admin can do more, but I don't know
how to recreate the whole site without modifying each page.
