That was one of the first things I tried before posting to the forumn.
The root level folders would show, but folders that existed only in the
user's folder "pages/_user/admin/x1/" x1 would not show up.
Now I've created the no-fallback rule and added that rule to the list of
rules for the admin user and <options regexp="true">/*/</options> works
like I want. This is confusing because shouldn't the default rule for
admin also show the admin's folder? Is there a difference for the rule
for admin vs a standard user?

Dave,
This is the simplest solution. In pages/folder.metadata, add the
following menu definition:
<menu name="navigations">
<separator>New Menu</separator>
<options regexp="true">/</options>
<options regexp="true">/*/</options>
</menu>
Even if this is not exactly what you want, lets start from here! Let me
know how you want the result to be different once you try this out.
Thanks for your patience,
Randy

The menu should look the same regardless of what folder the user is
looking at. And yes Administrative should still be available to the
users.
Thank you for your help.

Subject: Re: Defining a menu for a users folder
David,
I will take a look at this now, (it helps us quite a bit when you
supply
the psml structure and what you want to see in the menu). I noticed a
typo below with the "depth" attribute name, but I dont think you are
looking for the whole tree to appear in the menu anyway! Given what
you
are asking for here, I may have misled you earlier thinking you wanted
something more complex/selective. No, this should not be difficult at
all!
A few clarifications. Do you want the menu to always look like you
described as you navigate the site or did you want it to change to
show
other folders/pages at any point? I see below that you are adding in
'/Administrative' for the admin user, so I assume you want that to
show
in addition when the admin user is logged in.
Let me know. Will post back a menu definition shortly when I have
verified that it works.

Hey,
I've created a new Profiler called User that is using the standard
User
rule and the StandardProfilingRule class but still none of the
folders
in my user's home directory are showing up in the menu.
My menu definition looks thusly:
<menu name="navigations" deapth="-1" profile="user">
<separator>
<text>Top Pages7</text>
</separator>
<options>/</options>
<options regexp="true">*X*/</options>
<options regexp="true">*Public*/</options>
<options>/Administrative</options>
</menu>
As far as I can understand, the standard user-role-fallback Profiler
should almost do what I want, but I cant get that to work ether.
The folder structure looks like this:
Pages/
-_users/
-admin/
-X1/
-folder.metadata
-default_page.psml
-anotherpage.psml
-X2/
-folder.metadata
-default_page.psml
-anotherpage.psml
The menu is defined in
Pages/folder.metadata
And I want it to show up like this in the navigation pane
Root
X1
X2
Clicking on X1 should take you to the X1 folder with the default_page
shown.
This doesn't seem like it should be very hard.

David,
I know you have probably already looked, but here are the relevant
docs:
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/deployguide/guide-profile.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/adminguide/profiler.html
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/deployguide/guide-menus-declarative
-psml.html
Pay close attention to the profiling rules... you want user w/o
fallback, so you'll need to create your own rule using the Profiler
Administration portlet. Once you have a new rule defined, you'll
define
a new menu with the profile attribute set to the name of your new
rule.
HTH,
Randy

David,
The expressions in the menus cannot see the users folders.... the
profiler merges them all under the root. So, "/*.psml" will show all
the
root pages including the global pages and those created by the user.
Of course, there is a way to get only the user's pages... define a
profiling rule for the user w/o fallback. Then you can define the
menu
using that profiling rule. I can probably help you out with this
approach if necessary. Let me know,

I guess I should have been clearer with my question. I've been
trying
to find the right combination of declarative menu options to get
what
I
want. I was hoping for an example of at least how to reference the
user's folder "Jetspeed/_user/<userXFolder>"
There doesn't seem to be a regular expression object that relates
to
the
user's home directory. At least I haven't found one.

Yes, this is possible using declarative menus.

Is it possible to define a menu that dynamically shows the folders
that
a user has created such that the names of the folders show up in
the
navigation without their parent folder.
Example:
User bob create a folder in his space called X1
..jetspeed/pages/_user/bob/X1
I want this to show up in the navigation menu as just X1 (or
whatever
is defined as the title in the folder metadata).
When Janet logs in, she should not see bob's folders.
