WayFinder and &excludeDocs

Hi, I have the following WayFinder call


the menu looks something like this

Item 1
SubItem 1
SubItem 2
Item 2
SubItem 1
SubItem 2
Item 3
SubItem 1
SubItem 2
Item 4
SubItem 1
SubItem 2

Now,how can I hide the submenu of "Item 3" and "Item 4"?

should be something like: if "submenu of item 3 or item 4" then = &excludeDocs.

Thanks

Hi, Any help will be appreciated, even a little advice.

Thank you

Don’t know if this can help but you maybe would add a css class to the subitems (in the pagetitle or whatever you are using for &rowTpl and/or &innerTpl) you want hide.

Something like :

<h1 class="noDisplay">Subitem1</h1>

and in the css file :

.noDisplay{display: none} ;

Just an idea, not sure it can fit your goals, but it maybe a workaround... Hope this helps...

I really needed a cup of coffee ! You can simply check "Hide from menu" option in the resource (document) you want to be hidden ...

Hope this (one) really helps !
Cheers

Hi Anso,
Thanks for answering. I know that I can hide the page if I check "Hide from menu", but I was looking for a better, cleaner solution. When the user create a new page it appears automatically in the menu and it’s easy to forget to uncheck it. I don’t want to hack the menu because the website is in three languages and is going to be a complex task. What I am looking for is a way to exclude only children of a specific category from the wayfinder call (if it is possible, I am not sure).

Enjoy your coffee

Hello,

Maybe a plugin listening for saving actions which test if the doc your user is saving is a child from x or y ? (sorry ’bout my desastrous english)

Just a thinking not sure at all it fits your goals...

Cheers

Hi Anso,
I don’t know if there is a plugin that can achive this. Maybe with phx inside the wayfinder call? I will check phx wiki to see if it’s possible to use it in this way...

I’ll let you know if I find something

did you find? )

No, but now that you’re asking me I just have a great idea! I could add a Template Variable that creates a class for these menu that I want to hide and than hide them with CSS?

You might be better off just using two Wayfinder calls, and have &level=`1` in the second one. Use CSS to seamlessly combine the two.

Or even better, a bit of play with the outer tpls can combine the two into one <u>...</ul> block; the outerTpl of the first Wayfinder call would omit the closing </ul> tag, while the outerTpl of the second one would omit the opening <ul> tag. So you would end up with one list with an opening <ul> tag, all the usual li and inner list tags, then after that a set of <li> tags and a closing </ul> tag.

Thanks Susan, that’s a very good way of dealing with this kind of menu .
