    so far i LOVE modx more than any CMS i’ve used. i’m having a learning curve though with the flyout menu. i went to muddydogpaws and pasted the snippet. the chunks is where i get confused at. do i create the chunks then insert them or does wayfinder use them? is there a simple tutorial to help me through this?

    thanks.

      The chunks are just "templates" referenced by wayfinder. For example &outerTpl in the wayfinder call:
      [!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &outerTpl=`yourChunkHere` !]


      Makes reference to this chunk that you name `yourChunkHere`:
      <div class="menu">
	<ul>
		[+wf.wrapper+]
	</ul>
</div>


      There is a wiki page here to further help understand this: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Wayfinder

      Hope that helps.
