[Solved] Organizing Multiple OnManagerWelcomeHome Events

I have 3 Plugins, all with similar code to this

//<?php

$e = &$modx->Event;
$output ='';

switch($e->name) {
    case 'OnManagerWelcomeHome':
        // set parent ID
        $parentId = '4';
        
        // set the tpl - can also be done in chunks and use chunk name in the param array
        $rowTpl = 'homeCustom';    
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Current Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        // set params for Wayfinder - params needs to be an array
        $params['startId'] = $parentId;
        $params['level'] = '1';
        $params['ignoreHidden'] = 'TRUE';
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
        
        
        // execute snippet
        $output = $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
    break;
       
    default:
        $output = '';
    break; 
}
    
$e->output($output);

return;

Only thing that changes between the 3 pages is the Parent ID and whats in the h3 tags.. the 3 are Current Properties, Pending Properties, and Sold Properties. They appear fine on the home page, but they aren’t in order.. How do I order them in this order:

Current Properties
Pending Properties
Sold Properties

?

How about putting all the code in one plugin? Then you can generate the output in any order you like.

I tried that before seperating the 3 plugins and it would only display 1 for some reason

Did you append the Wayfinder output to the $output variable with .= and have only one $e->output($output); at the very end of the plugin? Something like this:

// set params
$output = $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
$output .= '<hr />';

// set params
$output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
$output .= '<hr />';

// set params
$output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
$output .= '<hr />';

$e->output($output);

$e->output($output);

i didnt do this.. is this what i would place at the end of the plugin? how would it know which parents to print?

My example is kind of a diagram for the whole plugin.

Where I put the

// params

lines is where you would set all the params for each Wayfinder call (including the parents). IOW, the code from each of your three plugins that sets the params would go where those three comments are.

I tried this

//<?php
$e = &$modx->Event;
$output ='';
// set params
switch($e->name) {
    case 'OnManagerWelcomeHome':
        // set parent ID
        $parentId = '4';
        
        // set the tpl - can also be done in chunks and use chunk name in the param array
        $rowTpl = 'homeCustom';    
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Current Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        // set params for Wayfinder - params needs to be an array
        $params['startId'] = $parentId;
        $params['level'] = '1';
        $params['ignoreHidden'] = 'TRUE';
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
		$output = $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
		$output .= '<hr />';

// set params
switch($e->name) {
    case 'OnManagerWelcomeHome':
        // set parent ID
        $parentId = '34';
        
        // set the tpl - can also be done in chunks and use chunk name in the param array
        $rowTpl = 'homeCustom';    
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Pending Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        // set params for Wayfinder - params needs to be an array
        $params['startId'] = $parentId;
        $params['level'] = '1';
        $params['ignoreHidden'] = 'TRUE';
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
		$output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
		$output .= '<hr />';

		$e = &$modx->Event;
		$output ='';

// set params
switch($e->name) {
    case 'OnManagerWelcomeHome':
        // set parent ID
        $parentId = '27';
        
        // set the tpl - can also be done in chunks and use chunk name in the param array
        $rowTpl = 'homeCustom';    
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Sold Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        // set params for Wayfinder - params needs to be an array
        $params['startId'] = $parentId;
        $params['level'] = '1';
        $params['ignoreHidden'] = 'TRUE';
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
        
		$output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
		$output .= '<hr />';

		$e->output($output);
return;

and nothing happens.. what did i do wrong?

You had several unclosed braces. One of the problems with Plugins is that if there is any typo or syntax error it just does nothing. You’ve also got a fair amount of unnecessary code since you don’t have to identify the event or do any decision making in the plugin (since the plugin is only triggered by one event). Try this:

<?php

//Plugin attached to OnManagerWelcomeHome System Event

$e = &$modx->Event;
$output ='';
// set generic params

 $rowTpl = 'homeCustom';
 $params['level'] = '1';
 $params['ignoreHidden'] = 'TRUE';
 
// set params for Current Properties and call Wayfinder
                
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Current Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        $params['startId'] = '4';
        
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
        $output = $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
        $output .= '<hr />';

// set params for Pending Properties and call Wayfinder
        
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Pending Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        $params['startId'] = '34';
        
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
        $output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
        $output .= '<hr />';

// set params for Sold Properties and call Wayfinder        
        
        $outerTpl = '@CODE: <h3 class="h3pad">Sold Properties</h3><ul class="ulpad">[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>';
        
        $params['startId'] = '27';
        
        $params['rowTpl'] = $rowTpl;
        $params['outerTpl'] = $outerTpl;
        
        $output .= $modx->runSnippet('Wayfinder', $params);
        $output .= '<hr />';

        $e->output($output);
        
        return;

Make sure the plugin is tied to the OnManagerWelcomeHomeEvent.
