Question

I want to make every user in my web group (or some other users if they want to) inherits the left navigation of a specific web (not the whole twiki site). Perhaps it should just involve changing Main.SomeUser to SomeWeb.SomeUser if twiki allows us to do it (how?)?

Also, I like to ask if we can even add (in addition to the web left navigation bar) a personal bar that helps visitors to navigate one's personal site.

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Could you just use the %INCLUDE{"Main.WebLeftbar"}% instruction or something similar in the various WebLeftbar files for each web? that way they all point to the same webleftbar file - it's not exaclty inheritance, but it's close...

Just re-read the question, and I see that you're wanting to do this for only some user groups, which is a little different than I suggested. Not sure if you can specify a twiki variable on the user group page and have that processed for each user. If that worked, you might be able to INCLUDE the variable specified in the user group setting. That would take some testing. Not sure if this exact approach is appropriate, but perhaps something like this could be made to work.

Not sure if this is possible per group. However, if you arrange webs by how the groups work you can create custom leftbars per web (as is done here on TWiki.org)
