@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

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

Snippet Call:

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

wfNavBar Template:

 [[+wf.linktext]][[+wf.wrapper]]

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:

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
[[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel=`2`]]` &ignoreHidden=`true` ]]
I PMed you a username and password if you want to look around

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

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/

You need to insert the following between your tags to tell MODx what base to use for relative urls:

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?

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.

K, that makes sense. I’ll be sure that look into PackMan.

Off Topic, for letting the morons that insist on access to edit site content, but are too stupid to not mess it up and too dumb to learn the back end. What do you suggest? I installed the frontpage addon and set the tinymce template to simple which may work, but it doesn’t look like it supports TVs.

Thanks,
Josh

No problem, someone else had the same problem yesterday and it’s caught me out a few times before. If you do a lot of MODx sites you should look into using PackMan to create a ’default install’ transport package with snippets you use often.

Ps. Any idea why the weird capitalization of the D in the below was the only way I could get a dynamic nav starting from whatever page I was on to work?

See post #2 above, I realised I hadn’t answered your question and edited my post... but you had already seen it and moved on
