Subject: help needed: sidebar menu/submenu on monobook template
I am new to Doku and have been on-n-off reading/searching for a week and got nowhere.

here is what I have:
1. a totally closed site hosted on linux at home, using the latest dokuwiki, via https
2. monobook template

here is my problems:
want to have something like following, with menu and submenu with more descriptive names (not just short, lower-case namespace names), as in wiki:navigation page, but i don't know how to make menu (tried indexmenu, indexment2, navi, all used namespace for menu items, not pretty)

**Linux**
  * [[wiki:linux:lamp|LAMP Applications]]
  * [[wiki:linux:ldap|Open LDAP]]
  * [[wiki:linux:mail|Postfix/Webmail]]
  * [[wiki:linux:other|Other Applications]]
  * [[wiki:linux:tips]]

**Windows**
   * [[wiki:windows:tips]]

**Work Related**
  * [[wiki:work:GLE|Great Lakes Electric]]
  * [[wiki:work:unix]]
  * [[wiki:work:db|Database]]
     * [[wiki:work:db:oracle|Oracle]
     * [[wiki:work:db:db2|DB2UDB]]
     * [[wiki:work:db:mysql|MySQL]]
  * [[wiki:work:shell|Shell Scripts]]


my 2nd question is related to <code> </code> block, it would be nice to have different color backgrounds as in pmWiki. I am using <box></box> as a workaround.

thanks for your help

The navi plugin does not use namespaces for the menu. In fact it is doing exactly what you describe.

You are aware that the list should be in a different page that is referenced by the navi plugin syntax?

Your sidebar is in the page sidebar and should contain something like this:

{{navi>mynavigation}}

Then you create another page called mynavigation which should contain your navigation:

  * [[wiki:linux|Linux]]
    * [[wiki:linux:lamp|LAMP Applications]]
    * [[wiki:linux:ldap|Open LDAP]]
    * [[wiki:linux:mail|Postfix/Webmail]]
    * [[wiki:linux:other|Other Applications]]
    * [[wiki:linux:tips]]
  * [[wiki:windows|Windows]]
    * [[wiki:windows:tips]]
  * [[wiki:work|Work Related]]
    * [[wiki:work:GLE|Great Lakes Electric]]
    * [[wiki:work:unix]]
    * [[wiki:work:db|Database]]
      * [[wiki:work:db:oracle|Oracle]
      * [[wiki:work:db:db2|DB2UDB]]
      * [[wiki:work:db:mysql|MySQL]]
    * [[wiki:work:shell|Shell Scripts]]
