Topbar and/or Sidebar

The skin supports different layouts, enabling/disabling the left sidebar menu and the topbar menu. Users have just play with flags in the custom.fluidoSkin element in site.xml:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <sideBarEnabled>false</sideBarEnabled>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

That allows users having 4 skins in only 1!

1. sidebar only;
2. topbar only;
3. both side/top bars;
4. none at all.

Default skin setting is the option 1.

Topbar Icon

When users decide to enable the topbar, they can plug a small icon/logo there (typically 108*20 px) just configuring the custom.fluidoSkin.topBarIcon element in site.xml:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <topBarIcon>
        <name>Maven Fluido Skin</name>
        <alt>Maven Fluido Skin</alt>
        <src>/images/topbar-logo.png</src>
        <href>/index.html</href>
      </topBarIcon>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Topbar Container Style

You can configure the style attribute value of the div container for your topbar

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <topBarContainerStyle>width: 90%;</topBarContainerStyle>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Navbar Style

You can configure style of your top bar nav (since bootstrap 2.1.0 is not anymore black by default). Use navbar-inverse to have the black one.

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <navBarStyle>navbar-inverse</navBarStyle>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Configuring column class

When using sidebar, the navigation column uses by default span2 class and body column uses span10. To prevent weird/ugly result, the sum must be 12. You can change that using:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <leftColumnClass>span3</leftColumnClass>
      <bodyColumnClass>span9</bodyColumnClass>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Matomo (e.g. Apache Analytics)

Users can optionally enable Matomo. How to configure it for Apache Analytics, the options element will contain some configuration (here some privacy setup):

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
      <matomo>
        <siteId>xxx</siteId>
        <url>https://analytics.apache.org</url>
        <options>
            <disableCookies/>
            <trackPageView/>
            <enableLinkTracking/>
        </options>
      </matomo>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Google Analytics

Users can optionally enable Google Analytics for the generated site:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <googleAnalytics>UA-12345...</googleAnalytics>
  [...]
</project>

By default, forceSSL and anonymizeIp are enabled. You can disable both, but this might be illegal in several countries or regions (e.g., in the EU due to GDPR):

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <googleAnalytics>UA-12345...</googleAnalytics>
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <googleAnalytics>
        <anonymizeIp>true/false</anonymizeIp>
        <forceSSL>true/false</forceSSL>
      </googleAnalytics>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Piwik Web Analytics (deprecated)

This feature is deprecated since version 1.11.0 as it has been replaced by Matomo (Piwik is named Matomo since 2018).

Since version 1.3.1, fluido-skin supports inserting Piwik web analytics tracking code into the generated pages. Users have to declare:

• custom.fluidoSkin.piwik.piwikUrl: URL of the Piwik installation without protocol, leading and trailing slashes (i. e. without http://).
• custom.fluidoSkin.piwik.idsite: ID in the Piwik installation of the site which is tracked.

  <project name="xxx">
    [...]
    <custom>
      <fluidoSkin>
          <piwik>
              <piwikUrl>example.org/piwik</piwikUrl>
              <idsite>1</idsite>
          </piwik>
      </fluidoSkin>
    </custom>
    [...]
  </project>

Google Search

Users can optionally enable the Google Search for the generated site, requirements are:

• the project.url property in pom.xml, unless the custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch.sitesearch property is set in the site.xml:

  <project name="xxx">
    [...]
    <url>http://maven.apache.org/skins/maven-fluido-skin</url>
    [...]
  </project>

• the custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch element in site.xml:

  <project name="xxx">
    [...]
    <custom>
      <fluidoSkin>
        <googleSearch>
          <sitesearch/>
        </googleSearch>
      </fluidoSkin>
    </custom>
    [...]
  </project>

By default, the search form:

• is not enabled; adding custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch is enough to enable the searchbox.
• is rendered in the sidebar, if the topbar only is available it will be rendered there.

External links are either rendered in the sidebar or the topbar. When both sidebar and topbar are enabled, they are rendered as dropdown in the topbar only.

Source code line numbers

Source code sections are enhanced by Google Code Prettify, users can optionally enable line numbers rendering (disabled by default):

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
