UltimateParent + Wayfinder

for me works the ultimatParrent almost perfectly

I have three menu’s. top --- left --- submenu

in the submenu i want to set all the submenus of top and left

That works great, but when i click on a menu-item in the submenu, the submenu dissapear.

This is what i’ve got




Why does the submenu dissapear when I click on a submenu-item?

Is that code in the content of the submenu item your are clicking? Is that code in your template, a chunk, a TV? If it is in a TV you will likely want to take advantage of @INHERIT. The more information you provide, the easier it will be for us to help.

Try this (made some small changes, look very closely):Just fixed up some issues I noticed, we’ll see if it fixes your problem though...

Thanks...but it is almost good.

When i change the &startID to &startId

The leftmenu also is vissible in the submenu... I only want to see the submenu over there

I am having a hard time following, if you could somehow illustrate (could be with a document tree) the site structure and what is supposed to show in each menu it may be easier to figure this out.

If you are trying to get the submenu with ultimateParent you will also need to set the parameter to indicate how many levels to go. The default will take it back to the first parent but for a sub menu you usually need a second or third level menu rather than a top level menu. Maybe try the simple [*parent*] to get the current parent ID.

okay i will try to explain it.

I have a main menu with submenu’s
topmenu 1
sub-topmenu1
sub-topmenu2
topmenu 2
sub-topmenu3
sub-topmenu4
topmenu 3
sub-topmenu5
sub-topmenu6
this is

I also have a leftmenu
leftmenu 1
sub-leftmenu1
sub-leftmenu2
leftmenu 2
sub-leftmenu1
sub-leftmenu2
leftmenu 3
sub-leftmenu1
sub-leftmenu2


Both menu works great.
But I also have a div --- submenu


In this <div id="headersubnav"> I want to put the submenu’s of the menu and leftmenu
so when i click on topmenu1, i’ll see sub-topmenu1 and sub-topmenu2 in the <div id="headersubnav">
so when i click on topmenu2, i’ll see sub-topmenu3 and sub-topmenu4 in the <div id="headersubnav">
so when i click on topmenu3, i’ll see sub-topmenu15 and sub-topmenu6 in the <div id="headersubnav">
so when i click on leftmenu1, i’ll see sub-leftmenu1 and sub-leftmenu2 in the <div id="headersubnav">
so when i click on leftmenu2, i’ll see sub-leftmenu3 and sub-leftmenu4 in the <div id="headersubnav">
so when i click on leftmenu3, i’ll see sub-leftmenu15 and sub-leftmenu6 in the <div id="headersubnav">

But that won’t


Someyhing is wrong with:

When i have this code.....the topmenu with sub-topmenu’s works great.....but when i click on the leftmenu the leftmenu with their submenu appear in the id="headersubnav" instead only the sub-leftmenu

It is a whole story, and hopefully clear

I have found a solution...but not the right one...but it works

I’ve changed the snipped [[UltimatParent]]

to


it works, don’t ask me how?

FYI, [[UltimateParent? &top=`3`]] is the same thing as changing the snippet code...it’s a parameter.

It is a better idea to use it as a parameter as OpenGeek has suggested, otherwise you could get unexpected results when you use UltimateParent in other places.

it works, don’t ask me how?

By setting top=`3` you are telling it to not go beyond id 3. If you want the UltimateParent to return the sub of the current doc id relative to a level in the doc tree you could use &TopLevel=`2` to always return the second level deep menu.

* @example [[UltimateParent? &topLevel=`2`]]
* Will find the ultimate parent of the current document at a depth of 2 levels
* in the document hierarchy, with the root level being level 1.
