Question

I have a twiki server running for me. I have created a Web and there is no left bar appearing. Do i need to have any extra plugins installed for it. In the Web Preferences i have just added Set WebLeftBar = ExaMple Set WebLeftBar = MaYa Set WebLeftBar = NewIdea Set WebLeftBar = NewIdeaTemplate Then also there is no left bar appearing for me. Please suggest me what to do?

i added INCLUDE{WEB.WebLeftBar} and the left bar came but the problem is that i want to make left bar as in twiki. I am getting left bar and the text which i wrote below that and not right to it as it should be..

i hope u got it.. the left navigation should be at left and whatever i write in that page should be right to it but its coming down to left bar.

I have no idea what your problem is. Its seems you don't have a left bar by default. Which skin do you use? What do you see?

i am using pattern skin. yes i don,t have a left bar but when i add that include command it comes up which is set for a particular user of my WEB. Is there any other skin that i should use or what else can be the cause?

I think I understand Mayans problem: he has included the systems leftbar in a n ordinary topic.

You need to have a topic named WebLeftBar in your web: everything you enter into that topic should appear automagically in the left bar. Use bulleted lists for the individual entries. See TWiki:TWiki.WebLeftBarCookbook for more examples how to design your own left bar.
