3 level static menu with wayfinder or ditto: How?

Hi. i’m experimenting with modx. I want to make a multilanguage site. So i did the tutorial here http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,29597

This is the lay-out i want to make.

1: static
2: static, but depends on language
3: static, but depends on language

I searched here and google, but i cant figure it out and i’ve seen more people searching for a neat way to do this in wayfinder.

So somehow i need 3 wayfinders. The first one is easy

--> wayfinder? &startId=0 &level=1

2nd

--> Wayfinder? &startId=[+LanguageID+] &level=1

[+LanguageID+] = set to the ID when you click on the language

3th is hard and i need some help with it. it could be something like this.

--> [!Wayfinder?&startId=`[!UltimateParent?&id=`[*id*]`&top=`[+LanguageID+]`!] &level=1!]

but this doesnt work the way i want it..
also because the double exclamation marks shouldnt work.

pls help

you have to alternate cached and uncached snippet syntax:

either
[[snippet? &parameter=`[!anotherSnippet!]`]]
or
[!snippet? &parameter=`[[anotherSnippet]]`!]

Hence, try
[!Wayfinder?&startId=`[[UltimateParent?&id=`[*id*]`&top=`[+LanguageID+]`]] &level=1!]

Hi thanks,

I allready tried that. That doesn’t work because in this case

[!UltimateParent?&id=`[*id*]`&top=`[+LanguageID+]`!]

gives the correct ID

and

[[UltimateParent?&id=`[*id*]`&top=`[+LanguageID+]`]]

doesnt..

I also put the [!UltimateParent?&id=`[*id*]`&top=`[+LanguageID+]`!] code in a snippet, but that also doesnt work. Maybe because i still cant call the snippet uncached.

If you just need a 1 level navigation for (3) you could also use Ditto.

[+LanguageID+] = set to the ID when you click on the language

But what exactly is LanguageID? A placeholder? If so, where is that defined? Or is it a TV? In that case you should rather use [*LanguageID*] instead of [+LanguageID+]. If you know that number already, you don’t even need placeholder syntax.

appreciate your help... I’m quite new to ModX and i find it very interesting and flexible. But i’m still learning...

the [+LanguageId+]

comes with the tutorial. It’s set in the language snippet.

In my case it can be three Id’s because i have three languages.

the problem is if you ask me with the ultimate parent. It needs to be uncached...

I have been thinking and maybe it would help to implement the ultimate parent into the wayfinder code, but thats still to hard for me to fix..

Or is [* languageid *] the key? I dont know how to change [+ into [*

Just make a tv i understand.. But it would be nice if all is dynamic.

got it to work.. modified wayfinder...
