Moving the page title in Confluence

Richard Wilkins2

Hello,

We had a slight customisation to the standard Documentation scheme on our Confluence site, which seems to have been lost during an upgrade to v3.5.

Our site logo is quite wide, and the change was to move the page title down to the line below (rather than the space next to the logo) so that there's more room for it, and longer titles don't wrap around.

I think - according to some information left by the previous administrator - that this was done using the change below. But we've reapplied this after the upgrade and it's not worked.

Can anybody tell me how to do this? Thanks.

The previous change seems to have been:

With the help of Atlassian support this was achieved by getting the following file from (the server):

/usr/local/confluence-data/bundled-plugins/doctheme-1.0.7.jar

Within this file we simply modified the main.vmd file, which is in:

doctheme-1.0.7\doctheme\decorators

Change this:

<h1 id="title-heading" class="pagetitle"> #if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.username")) #set ($tildeUsername = "~$username") #logoBlock($tildeUsername) #else #logoBlock($spaceKey) #end <span id="title-text"> #if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span")) $sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span") #else #pageTitleLink() #end </span> </h1>

to:

#if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.username")) #set ($tildeUsername = "~$username") #logoBlock($tildeUsername) #else #logoBlock($spaceKey) #end <h1 id="title-heading" class="pagetitle"> <span id="title-text"> #if ($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span")) $sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.title-text-span") #else #pageTitleLink() #end </span> </h1>

Then we just upload the customised doctheme-1.0.7.jar file via _Confluence Admin >> plugins_

Why not just add some custom CSS to the global stylesheet in the admin section e.g. #title-text { display: block; }
