Change the Page Layout for the space

Go to Space Admin page and click on "Layout" on the left menu
Click "Create Custom" for "Page Layout"
Create a new table wrapping around the top level <table> element
Add a <tr> with two <td> elements for this new table
Make sure the original top level is wrapped inside the second <td> if you want a left hand side navigation tree
Change the first <td> to use width="20%"
Add #includePage($helper.spaceKey "Home") inside the first <td> element
Don't forgot the </td> </tr> and </table> at the end of the file
Make sure you have "Ajax Page Tree" plugin installed in Confluence
Modify the Home page of the space and add
```
{pagetree}
```
to the content

It looks something like the screen shot below

The final result will be something like this

Awesome! Bing. I've been looking for a solution like this for a while now. Thanks for providing.

You wrote this in 2007, so am unsure if would still be valid for Confluence in 2009, e.g. v3

Anyway I tried it and its almost working, but not quite. Can you shed any light? TIA

I create a new space using default theme. Then do as suggested above. However item 7 doesnt appear to work - tried different syntax. Item 8 am unsure what you mean by end of file, do you mean the last 3 items in the open custom page layout editor.

I tried putting this immediately after the ### GENERAL PAGE DECOARTING BEGINS part
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="20%">
#includePage($helper.spaceKey "Home")
</td>
<td valign="top" width="80%">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

and then put </td> </tr> </table> as the last line in the page layout edit window.

As above it doesnt create a space on the side of the Window, but if I change the
#includePage($helper.spaceKey "Home")
above to
#includePage($helper.spaceKey() "Home")
which know must be wrong because Confluence gives me a page not found error.

However, but doing this I can see a 20% left hand space created in the Confluence window which is what I want to see, i.e. like your 'final result' example page above.

Now do you have any idea how I can get the Confluence space pagetree to appear in this 20% space on every page viewed, i.e. so the user always knows where they are in the wiki?

If I put

in the body of the page, it works. However I want this

Unknown macro: {page}

tree to appear in the 20% window as you have shown above as 'final result'

Thanks
