Personal menu for Web users

Retrieve,... sounds a bit more professional indeed for a select statement Thanx.
I copied some code from the save_webuser_processor and was quit happy that I got it working .:-)

I hope somebody can help me with this;

I want to make a personal menu for websusers, but I can’t figure out how to retrieve the webuser startpage, so i can use that as the start id in wayfinder. The menu itself is a chuck, with the wayfinder call inside.

Thanx,

The document IDs are listed next to the document names in the document tree at the left of the manager screen.

I do something similar on one web site by using the Personalize snippet and two different wayfinder chunks. Personalize determines if the user is logged in or not.

Here’s the Wayfinder chunk:

 [!Personalize? &yesChunk=`LoggedInWayfinderChunk` &noChunk=`NotLoggedInWayfinderChunk` &ph=`user`!]

The `user` placeholder lets me put "You are logged in as [user]" at the top of the logged in menu.

Here’s the LoggedInWayfinderChunk:

You are logged in as: [+user+]<hr>
[[Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=2 &titleOfLinks=`description`]]

Here’s the NotLoggedInWayfinderChunk:

[[Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=1 &titleOfLinks=`description`]]

In my case, the logged in user sees the same menu but with an extra level visible. I just made the docs hidden from non-logged-in users be subdocuments. You’d probably want to leave out &level and just change the &startid to be the document at the top of your menu for logged-in users.

Great Tip BobRay. Definitely opens up some potential for me vis-a-vis Wayfinder. These tools are so damn powerful....
