Thank you! Don't know why I missed this.

I now have a Panel "MyNavigation" with panel type "view" and category
"navigation". The content part is a copy of the original navigation panel.
So, I guess I can start from here and play around with the solutions Marius
suggested, right!? There is one difference between the original navigation
panel and mine: In my panel there is an extra menue entry





"Panels" with "MyNavigation" as a child. In the original navigation panel
there is no "Panels" entry in the navigation menue. Can you explain why
this is so?



The "Panels" page and all its child pages are hidden by default because
they are technical. Check the "Display Hidden Pages" in your user profile
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/User%20Profile%20Application#HEditPreferences
. The panel page you created is not marked as hidden, so it appears in the
navigation tree, along with its parent (Panels). You can hide the panel
page from Wiki edit mode, see
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/PageEditing#HAdvancedMode
.

Hope this helps,


Yes, it did!

Thank you very much.

The $services.localization.render('xe.panels.navigation’) part is just
an API call to get a translation key for internationalisation. If you
create your own panel btw, you’ll get some default content.

You can use:

#panelheader(“My Panel")
…

Thanks
-Vincent



Cheers,

Toby.


That’s nice.




One recommendation though: you probably should create your own panel

instead of reusing an existing one since when you next upgrade you may get
some conflict if there are also changes in the officially-provided

Navigation Panel. Not a big issue though, you’ll just need to choose your

version over the default one if you’re asked to choose. Also I case you
need the original Nav panel it might be best to keep it as is.



Thanks

Toby
