Wayfinder: when last resource is a category, it won't use &categoryFoldersTpl

I’m not sure where to put this. Should I report it in the modx bug tracker?

When I create a menu in wayfinder and the last item in the menu is a category, it doesn’t use the &categoryFoldersTpl template.

This is my &categoryFoldersTpl template:

<li class="category [[+wf.classnames]]">[[+wf.linktext]][[+wf.wrapper]]</li>

So here is my menu example.
-One
-Two
-Three
-Four
---subOne
---subTwo

When I set the menu item Four to be a category, it uses some other template, not the &categoryFoldersTpl template I would think it should.

Instead I think it uses the default template. I don’t know if this is supposed to happen this way. I would think that it should use the &categoryFoldersTpl template and just insert the classname last into the classes.

I just did a test and it has the same gliche when I try to make the firt item a category.

I would like to suggest that there be a &categoryClass, too.

Also, is there a way to add a class name or id to just one specific item in the menu. So using the same example above, could I make item Two have another class or add an id that is only on item Two? That way any time document Two is in a menu it would be a different color or different font-size?

You may or may not want to use the code I write. It's probably all against the syntax rules of php and MODx.

Okay, so it acts like I mentioned above, until I create a document under it. So that makes sense, even though I would think it would still just use the &categoryFoldersTpl template.

When I create a document that is not the first or last in the menu and doesn’t have any children, it works like I would think.

But I still am wondering about my last question. Do I create a TV or something that will be added to [[+wf.classes]]?

(I’m most interested in adding a class to specific menu items.)

Okay I get it.

So I saw this in the docs and thought how do I use that?

[[+wf.id]]

If you want an id for a row item, you need to set this to something. (Below the id would look like this: id="id_123")

&rowIdPrefix=`id_`

The basic snippet call for a unique id would be:

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &rowIdPrefix=`id_`]]

Sometimes I’m not thinking. So if you want a class to be added to a specific menu item, use a TV.

You would need to make a chunk for $rowTpl and put the TV into it. I called my TV unique_item_classnames_tv.

<li[[+wf.id]] class="[[+wf.classnames]] [[+your_TV_name_here]]">
	<a href="[[+wf.link]]" title="[[+wf.title]]" [[+wf.attributes]]>[[+wf.linktext]]</a>
	[[+wf.wrapper]]
</li>

And the basic snippet call for this would be (if you don’t want a specific id for each item):

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &rowTpl=`yourChunkNameHere`]]
