Add custom items to main and meta navigation bar
Notice: The functionality provided by this plugin has been added to the Trac core in milestone:1.3.2. See #11317. You should uninstall the plugin and modify your configuration when upgrading to Trac 1.3.2 or later.
Description
Starting with release 0.11, Trac allows existing items in the main and meta navigation bar menu items to be customized, however it does not allow custom items to be added. This plugin allows you to add custom items ("buttons") to both the main and the meta navigation bar. Item name, title and URL can be specified in trac.ini, as well as an optional permission the user is required to have to see the item.

Source
You can check out NavAddPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
Installation
General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the TracPlugins page.
Configuration
Enable in your trac.ini file with:
[components] navadd.* = enabled
All configuration settings are to be kept in a section called [navadd] in trac.ini. The basic syntax is:
add_items = <item>,<item>,...- comma-separated list of items that will be added; only items that are listed here will be processed.
Note: All items need to be in lowercase. If you use any uppercase character it will not work.
And then for each item:
<item>.title = <title>- the name (title) of the button
<item>.url = <url>- the URL the button should link to; please note that TracLinks syntax is not supported here yet
<item>.perm = <permission>- an optional permission that a user needs to have in order to see the button. If unspecified, then all users will see the button.
<item>.target = <navbar_name>- the name of the navigation bar the button should be added to; only
mainnavandmetanavhave been tested so far, other names probably work as well.
This is the configuration I use on madwifi-project.org to add a link to the imprint in the meta navigation bar, and a link to our download section on sf.net in the main navigation bar:
[navadd] add_items = imprint,download imprint.title = Impressum/Imprint imprint.url = wiki/Impressum #imprint.perm = WIKI_VIEW imprint.target = metanav download.title = Download download.url = http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82936&package_id=85233 #download.perm = WIKI_VIEW download.target = mainnav
The formats for the url parameter are the same as for the href parameter described at TracNavigation#Notes.
Ordering of buttons
Buttons which are added with this plugin can be ordered in the usual way, ie by specifying the actual order in section [trac], keywords mainnav and metanav in TracIni. See TracNavigation#nav-order.
Let's assume that you add a button Download to your main navigation bar (same as in the configuration example above), and you want it to appear right after the Wiki button. The configuration then looks like (Trac < 1.2):
[trac] mainnav = wiki,download,timeline,roadmap,browser,tickets,newticket
For Trac >= 1.2, the same configuration is:
[mainnav] wiki = 1 download = 2 timeline = 3 roadmap = 4 browser = 5 tickets = 6 newticket = 7
