A Member of Many Communities Cannot See All Communities Easily

Junior Member Posts: 96 Join Date: 8/2/05 Recent Posts

Hi,

I am playing around with Liferay 4.3.3/Tomcat 6.0 on Windows XP and CentOS 5.0. I noticed that if a member belongs to a large number of communities, the list runs off the bottom of the screen and is very hard to access. The workaround try to highlight all the communities until you find the one you want, and then click on the one you want.

Is there a way to revert back to how communities were displayed in Liferay 4.2.2?

I have a screenshot here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18279446@N08/1874279391/

Thanks,

You can modify the theme (navigation.vm) . I think the way things are now is not very good because

1. 3-4 levels down
2. It's not obvious it is there.

I am rebuilding my theme to have the navigation separate in two menus, one for login / admin tasks, another for community navigation. I will also exclude the communities with 0 pages from navigation from non-admin users (there is no reason for them to see those pages, it is just confusing).

Thanks for the quick and helpful response. I'll give that a shot.
