ultimateParent with wayfinder

I've worked with the wayfinder eBook from kongondo, which is aweseome, to create a splitted navigation with UltimateParent and Wayfinder.
Now I've the problem that the parent of the submenu-items is no marked as active. For example the document "awards" has three child documents, like "1" to "3". If "1" is selected, the active mark for "awards" vanishes. The parent of the splitted submenu is not marked active, when a submenu item is visited.

Found a solution which worked for me:
I've placed this param &hereId= `[[UltimateParent]]` to the wayfinder-call of the parent.

PARENT WAYFINDER CALL:

                    [[Wayfinder? &startId=`0`
                                 &outerTpl=`nav`
                                 &rowTpl=`nav-item`
                                 &hereTpl=`nav-item-active`
                                 &level = `1`
                                 &hereId= `[[UltimateParent]]`
                    ]]

SPLITTED SUBMENU CALL:

                        [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]`
                                      &outerTpl=`sidenav`
                                      &rowTpl=`sidenav-item`
                                      &hereTpl=`sidenav-item-active`
                                      &level = `1`
                        ]]

Hi wie.mar

Apologies for gatecrashing the party without bringing a bottle,
but could you point me to a working link for Kongondo's ebook please?
The forum link doesn't appear to be working.
Cannot find it anywhere.

Many thanks
Chris

It's difficult to find because attachments no longer work in the Forums.

I found it here:

https://sottwell.com/links/wayfinder.html

and here:

Actually attachments should be working again, the younger Sottwell fixed what apparently was a mis-configuration
