    hi, guys. First i would to congrat developers and modules creators of this great tiny monster. After checking loads of CMS i came to this one which fits me but as we all know it’s not as easy to config for first timer like other cms. I like that and totally agree with "not just another CMS" slogan, 100% hit.


    Anyhow. I want to create horizontal navigation with wayfinder which will navigate thought the site with CSS drop down menu and each lading main page would have separated side navigation for subject’s internal pages.

    So help noob like me with the task.

    I understand that through CSS file i can control wayfinder’s layout but how do i separate those menus and their CSS layout?

    more tips would be appreciable.

    thanks and GOD with ya.

      Use a second Wayfinder call in the sidebar for that menu; there are a number of ways you can control with folder/container document Wayfinder starts at. Just set the &startId to what seems appropriate.

      I often put the whole Wayfinder snippet call in a TV for that, with the default value of the TV @INHERIT. Then in the subfolder "parent" document, I put the Wayfinder snippet in the TV with that document’s ID as the startId. That way all of its children inherit the same Wayfiinder call, so the whole subsection will have the same menu in the sidebar.
