Hmm.. doesn’t wayfinder have placeholder available for the currently processed item ID in rowTpl’s? I know there is the &rowIdPrefix parameter, but I can’t use it. I think it would be good if wf.id placeholder would just return the ID of the document and not like it’s now. If I want to use it like it’s done now, I could allways put <li id="myprefix[+wf.id+]">... to the rowTpl’s my self.

This is what I’m trying to achieve in rowTpl’s:

<div id="panel[+wf.id+]">
...
<div id="panel[+wf.id+]-body">
[+wf.wrapper+]
</div>
</div>

But I cannot do that because wf.id returns something like: id="rowIdPrefix8".. I think that’s a bit too restricting indeed.. so maybe have it just return the ID and remove &rowIdPrefix parameter (as that can be built in the rowTpl’s anyways), or make a new placeholder for just the ID.

And what I’m trying to do exactly is this "menu" as an example to this thread.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I am leaving for a conference/vacation tommorow so I will be gone for a week. I will try to take a look at this addition when I get back.

I call Wayfinder with the parameter: &titleOfLinks=`id`

Then in the row template I use [+wf.title+] wherever I need that row’s doc ID to appear.

Typically, I use this placeholder in a call to the GetField snippet, which lets me get any field I want from the row’s doc.

--HTH

Hmm.. am I just not getting it, or is there no way to template active items all the way up the tree? I would like to have all active items in just text, not links, but can’t seem to make it happen..

Yes, I made some examples from cssplay menus.. here’s instructions how to setup that menu:

1. Include the css what is attached to this post to your template (alternatively, you could create it as a chunk and use &cssTpl=`chunkname` parameter in Wayfinder call)

2. Create wfParentRow chunk with the following content:

<li><a [+wf.classes+] href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<table><tr><td>

[+wf.wrapper+]

</td></tr></table>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></a><![endif]-->

</li>

3. Call wayfinder in your template using:

<div class="menu">
[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`4` &parentRowTpl=`wfParentRow`!]
</div>

Dunno if its a bug but:
if I set up a &parentRowTpl=’example’ and call Wayfider with it and that ’example’ chunk is like that

<li>[+wf.linktext+]</li>

- not a single child doc is processed!

[SOLVED] I figured out that [+wf.wrapper+] is actually required to output children - didnt know that

I got category folders to work!

its very simple due to nice code of the snippet (Ryan and Kyle u rock!).
the trick is to add another user template for elements which template is 0 (blank), which are actually category folders.

in wayfinder.inc.php find:

$getFields = 'id,menutitle,pagetitle,menuindex,published,hidemenu,parent,isfolder,description,alias,longtitle';

change to

$getFields = 'id,menutitle,pagetitle,menuindex,published,hidemenu,parent,isfolder,description,alias,longtitle,template';

find

  if ($resource['id'] == $modx->documentObject['id'] && $resource['isfolder'] && $this->templates['parentRowHereTpl'] && ($resource['level'] < $this->level || $this->level == 0)) {
            $usedTemplate = 'parentRowHereTpl';
		}

change to

 if ($resource['id'] == $modx->documentObject['id'] && $resource['isfolder'] && $this->templates['parentRowHereTpl'] && ($resource['level'] < $this->level || $this->level == 0)) {
            $usedTemplate = 'parentRowHereTpl';
		} elseif ($resource['isfolder'] && $resource['template']=="0" && $this->templates['cat_parentRowTpl'] && ($resource['level'] < $this->level || $this->level == 0)) {
            $usedTemplate = 'cat_parentRowTpl';
        }

in Wayfinder snippet code find:

$wf->templates['parentRowTpl'] = isset($parentRowTpl) ? $parentRowTpl : '';

change to

$wf->templates['parentRowTpl'] = isset($parentRowTpl) ? $parentRowTpl : '';
$wf->templates['cat_parentRowTpl'] = isset($cat_parentRowTpl) ? $cat_parentRowTpl : '';

now u just have to create a template and call it within Wayfinder like &cat_parentRowTpl=’...’ and ur categories will be processed according to the template!
