How to display a banner like the Confluence Documentation Theme
Purpose
The documentation spaces on this wiki show a banner at the top of every page. Here are instructions on how to add a banner to your own Confluence site.
Solution
Using the Documentation Theme (Confluence 5.10 and earlier)
The simplest way to add a header or footer to a page is to apply the Documentation theme to your space, and then add the header and/or footer in the theme configuration. See Configure the Documentation Theme.
Using the Default Confluence Theme
Edit the main layout for the space. After the Content div header:
## CONTENT DIV BEGINS
<div id="header">
#quickSearch()
<ul id="header-menu-bar" class="ajs-menu-bar">
#if($sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.browse-menu"))
$sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.browse-menu")
#else
#menuMacros_renderGlobalBrowseMenu()
#end
#menuMacros_renderUserMenu()
</ul>
$!sitemeshPage.getProperty("page.breadcrumbs")
</div>
Add the following:
<div class="noteMessage">
<strong>This documentation relates to an early version of Confluence.</strong><br>
View <a href="http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/$title">this page in the current documentation</a> or visit the <a href="http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+Documentation+Home">current documentation home</a>.
</div>
To invoke a macro, use text like:
$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("{recently-updated-dashboard:dashboard|showProfilePic=true}")
