Can't get Wayfinder to work (fixed)

Here’s my setup:
o MacOS X, v10.5.5
o Safari 3.1.2
o MODx 2.0.0 a5
o Wayfinder 2.0-beta

I’ve created a trivial template:
<html><head></head><body>
[[*content]]
<hr />
[[wayfinder? &startId=`10` &debug=`TRUE`]]
</body></html>

I’ve created a simple website where all the resources are published:
web
firstcontainer (10)
firstpage (1)
secondpage (2)
thirdpage (3)

The content of firstpage is:
<p>Hello, my ID is [[*id]]</p>

When I access the website firstpage displayed. It contains:

o The opening message (Hello, my ID is 1)
o The horizontal rule
o An error string from wayfinder in red "No documents found for menu."
o All the wayfinder debug readouts.

Whether I set startId to 1 or 10 I get the same results. I’d expected to see a list of page titles using wayfinder’s default templates. I’ve cleared the cache between trial runs.

Can anyone tell me what I’m missing?

Are you sure you don’t have the Resource with the cacheable Wayfinder call set to cached?

topcontainer, firstpage, secondpage and thirdpage all had their "cacheable" checkboxes checked. I unchecked them. The Wayfinder call in my template is...
[[wayfinder? &startId=`10` &debug=`TRUE`]]
...which I don’t think is the cacheable form of a snippet call, is it? (by the way, what’s the new syntax for making a snippet call cacheable?) Did I miss anything?

That is a cached snippet call. Use exclamation mark after opening revolution tag to make any tag uncached, eg:

[[!wayfinder? &startId=`10` &debug=`TRUE`]]

or:

[[!$chunk]] or [[!*templatevar]] or [[!+placeholder]]... etc.

Thanks for telling me the syntax for un-caching. I tried it, but it still doesn’t work. I also tried eliminating the ampersand before startID ( [[!wayfinder? startId=`10` &debug=`TRUE`]] ) and that didn’t help. Any other suggestions...?

Did you clear the site cache?

Did you clear the site cache?

Yes, I always clear the site cache after every change. I also refresh the page two or three times in the Safari browser to clear the browser cache.

As a test, try setting: &level=`1`

If that doesn’t work, can you verify that the resources don’t have the ’Hide from Menus’ checkbox checked?

That made it work! Then I did an experiment -- I created a three-level hierarchy of resources and set ’&level’ to different values:

&level=`0` --> Got the "No documents found for menu." message.
&level=`1` --> The first level of the hierarchy was shown.
&level=`2` --> The first two levels of the hierarchy was shown.
&level=`3` --> The first three levels of the hierarchy was shown.
&level=`99` --> The first three levels of the hierarchy was shown.

So it looks like (at least at present) you absolutely have to assign a value to this parameter, and it has to be at least as big as the number of levels you need to display.

Thanks!

thanks - this worked for me also.

Setting level=`0` produces nothing, but setting to a positive value will give results.
I assume this is a bug which is being fixed?
