    Actually you can let them into the manager but only allow them to edit specific fields, hiding the rest.

    Have a look into Form Customisation. Basically you’ll end up with your ’admin’ profile which you won’t let the users near; and an ’editor’ profile which will allow them to log in and change text and pictures but nothing else.

    You can hide all the system settings menus, file manager and even default resource fields and TVs if you want.

    Bob’s Permissions Guide is another useful guide to help you set this up.

      Another odd problem with wayfinder generating urls, although I don’t think it is a problem specifically with wayfinder.

      If you go here: http://grace-life.vlifetech.com

      and click on one of the container links in the nav ie media, it works the first time, but subsequent clicks ends up appending the url to the base url so you end up with a link that doesn’t work because it is trying to go to this:
      http://grace-life.vlifetech.com/pittsburgh/media/pittsburgh/media/pittsburgh/media/pittsburgh/media/pittsburgh/media/pittsburgh/media/

      Ideas?

      Thanks,
      Josh

        To get the site usable and let the client start adding content, I disabled friendly urls. Also the wayfinder call that you figured out above isn’t working on a different install, same version as you can see here: Ultimate parent plugin is installed

        http://grace-life.vlifetech.com/index.php?id=44

        [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel=`2`]]` &ignoreHidden=`true` ]]


        I PMed you a username and password if you want to look around

        Thanks,
        Josh

          You need to insert the following between your <head></head> tags to tell MODx what base to use for relative urls:
          <base href="[[!++site_url]]" />

            I think the permissions are not set up correctly for the login you sent me as I can’t view anything smiley
            But try &topLevel=`1` instead there and see if that works for you.

              Permissions fixed, you can log in now.

              Also, a simple 
              [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`20` ]]
              call doesn’t work. And adding a base href removes the href from all the nav links see below:

                  	<ul><li class="first"><a href="" title="Home" >Home</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="I'm New" >I'm New</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="Who We are" >Who We are</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="Ministries" >Ministries</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="Next Step" >Next Step</a></li>

<li><a href="" title="Events" >Events</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="Media" >Media</a></li>
<li><a href="" title="Contact Us" >Contact Us</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="" title="GIving" >GIving</a></li>
</ul>

                My upcoming book will answer this kind of stuff for you.

                Snippet Call:
                [[Wayfinder?startId=`0`&level=`1`&sortBy=`menuindex`&rowTpl=`wfNavBar`]]


                wfNavBar Template:
                <li [[+wf.id]] [[+wf.classes]]> <a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[++site_name]] [[+wf.title]]" [[+wf.attributes]]>[[+wf.linktext]]</a>[[+wf.wrapper]]</li><li class="sep">|</li>

                  @dawisewun: I logged in and... everything seems to be working for me. I tried the base href tag and that worked fine too. Want to try it again, with UltimateParent?

                  @wshawn: I think you didn’t read the thread wink
