wayfinder help

I have a vertical menu with submenus that shows an arrow when there is a submenu. The arrow shows for the first level but not the second. I’m sure i’m just missing something simple or at least I hope.

Here is some sample code from the menu.

Thanks

<ul class="menu">
<li class="first active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="sub"><a href="#">I have children</a> --> parentclass set class perfectly
<ul>
<li class="first"><a href="#">I also have childern</a><ul> --> parentclass did not set class
<li class="first"><a href="#">abcd</a></li>
<li><a href="#">abcd</a></li>
<li><a href="#">abcd</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="#">abcd</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

You are trying to add class="sub" to container items in your menu?

Just add &parentClass=`sub` to your Wayfinder call and it should add it in automatically for you.

If that doesn’t work, can you post your Wayfinder call here?

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`4` &parentRowTpl=`cssplay_parentRow` &outerTpl=`cssplay_outer` &innerTpl=`cssplay_inner` &rowTpl=`cssplay_row` &excludeDocs=`66` &debug=`TRUE` &parentClass=`sub`]]

_inner:
<ul>
[[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>​

_outer:
<ul class="menu">
[[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>

_parent row:
<li[[+wf.classes]]><a href="[[+wf.link]]">[[+wf.linktext]]</a>
[[+wf.wrapper]]
</li>​

_row:
<li[[+wf.classes]]><a href="[[+wf.link]]">[[+wf.linktext]]</a>[[+wf.wrapper]]</li>​

Does the output change if you set [tt]&level=`0`[/tt] ?

Doesn’t seem like you’ve done anything wrong there

Only thing I can suggest is to call Wayfinder uncached while you are troubleshooting so you always have a fresh output.
Also check that your ’I also have children’ resource has the ’container’ box ticked.

level=0 didn’t change anything -- the debugger says that children are there.

looks like it has something to do with containers.

Acc. to the wiki for Evo WF, parentRow checks 2 things: to see if it is a container, and that it has children, if that helps...

level=0 didn’t change anything -- the debugger says that children are there.

To explain why I asked:
If you limit the output by [tt]&level[/tt] , the items of the lowest shown level will not get the &parentClass , because their children are hidden.

How is the style definition of your class [tt]sub[/tt] ? May be it’s an issue with the specifity of selectors.
