Don't link the parent with active children

Hi,

I have a navigation generated by Wayfinder

[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=`2`&outerTpl=`mh.OuterTpl` &innerTpl=`mh.InnerTpl` &rowTpl=`mh.RowTpl` &innerRowTpl=`mh.InnerRowTpl` &firstClass=`first` &hereClass=`hereclass`!]

it shows the menu and submenu in dropdowns... the problem is that I need to remove the link from top level menu which has children

How’s better to solve this problem ?

for example I have:

Home
Products
Product one
Product two
Product three
About Us
Page one
Page two
Page three
Contact Us

I need to link Products and About Us to "#", now it links to the page ID. Other submenus links should not be changed. Also home and Contact us should stay the same. The link should be replaced with # only on parents who has active children.

You could use the &parentRowTpl

&parentRowTpl
default value: NULL
values: name of template chunk
description: The parentRowTpl template is used when processing items that are folders with their children being displayed in the menu.
available placeholders: Same as RowTpl.

example:


What creates the link is the [+wf.link+]. So, you can try to either remove it and there won’t be any link, or if you specifically want a dummy link #, replace [+wf.link+] with # So.....



Haven’t tested it yet, but I think it should work. Tested and it works. However, on click, the dummy link redirects to the home page. You could probably use javascript to make it void. e.g.



There’s probably a better way of doing this, maybe using an onclick event. I’ll let those who know chip in.

seems to be the right solution, I’ve added needed options but it doesn’t change anything, very strange.

I’ve created prow chunk, with code

<li[+wf.classes+]>
<a href="#" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>
[+wf.wrapper+]
</li>

and my wayfinder call looks like

[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=`2` &parentRowTpl=`prow` &outerTpl=`mh.OuterTpl` &innerTpl=`mh.InnerTpl` &rowTpl=`mh.RowTpl` &innerRowTpl=`mh.InnerRowTpl` &firstClass=`first` &hereClass=`hereclass`!]

is it correct ? :-|

OMG, it worked, thank you very much

That looks correct, so ye, strange. You made sure you are referencing the correct chunk, no typos? Clearing the cache should not be an issue in this case, but have you tried that? Are you calling Wayfinder in a rich text editor environment? If so, can you confirm your RTE is not mangling the WF code?

Aaah, brilliant! So what was the problem then? Glad it worked. How did you deal with the dummy link getting redirected, btw? Please modify this thread’s title to show the issue has been resolved. Thx.

the problem was somewhere inside the chunk, just recreated and changed names, cleared cache and it started working

brilliant, tons of thanks

Ok, welcome...

I’ve found this is still the case in my attempt to try this. If you’re on any page other than home and you click on the link with the href="#" - it appears to be reading an absolute link of www.mysite.com/# and takes you home. Is there a way in MODx to force it [Wayfinder] to use relative linking ?? Other wise I may try that javascript you posted.

Thanks!
