    Hi,

    I have just started working with modx (revo) and have a quick question regarding displaying the parents pagetitle in the submenu.

    I have searched around the forum and seen some answers but I can't seem to get any of them to work.

    My template looks like this:
    <div class="submenu">
   <strong class="title">PARENT TITLE HERE</strong>
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &outerTpl=`navigationsliste` &outerClass=`list` &level=`1`]]
</div>


    Could anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

    Regards
    Mathias

    Doesn't Revo's Wayfinder have the &displayStart parameter to show the parent item?

    I'm using [[getResourceField? &id=`` &field=`longtitle`]] when not in a Wayfinder call. Probably a long-winded solution.

    It surely does. This one works:

    [[Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &outerTpl=`submenu` &outerClass=`list` &level=`1` &displayStart=`[[UltimateParent]]`]]


    Thank you very much!

    That's certainly different; in Evo's Wayfinder &displayStart is 1 or 0; either it displays the start item or it doesn't.

    Still does. From RTFM:

    &displayStart Show the document as referenced by &startId in the menu.ALSE

    So it's a coincidence in this case that it works (presumably the actual value of ultimateParent id is 1).

    Well RTFM says it does, but read on, and you'll find out it doesn't! By default It creates a non-linked title for a menu in <h2></h2> html tags.

    I can't find any workaround that puts the parent into the same menu structure as its children. I always end up creating a higher-level container and have the parent and its erstwhile children all as 1st generation children of the higher-level container. And it isn't always convenient to do so...
