How-to Display Top Level Trac Projects

This how-to assumes you already have one or several projects under one trac instance. Choose one of the projects to be the main source for templates. There should be a /path/to/trac/project/templates. Copy the of all ClearSilver templates from default template location to the main project location template directory.

For example on NCCOOS Trac, I have chosen the portal Trac Project to use for customizing NCCOOS Trac pages.

cd /var/srv/trac/nccoos/portal/templates
cp /usr/share/trac/templates/*.cs . 

Since the template directory is already there, edit both site_css.cs and site_header.cs file to contain style and top level directory information.

<?cs
##################################################################
# Site CSS - Place custom CSS, including overriding styles here.
?>
#ProjectNav {
        position: absolute;
        top: 80px;
        left: 10px;
        z-index: 1;
}

<?cs
####################################################################
# Site header - Contents are automatically inserted above Trac HTML
?>
<div id="ProjectNav">
