  You can use the &hideSubMenus parameter to only show the currently active submenu.

  That is a very cool feature and it might turn out to be quite useful soon for a site i am developing! It is much better than the solution of picking the tweaked and old ListMenuX Etomite thingy (like a former discussion on the ModX forums about this feature suggested to use for that kind of thing).
  
  I must admit i consider this snippet to be one of the most important one’s that are currently available because every site needs a decent navigation solution and DropMenu just wasn’t tweakable enough in several cases. So definately keep the good development work up guys!

  I’m building a website for a client where I’ve set up folders for different types of documents: press releases, white papers, news articles, etc. I’m using Wayfinder to create a "table of contents" listing on the page of each folder, listing the title and introtext for the documents in the folder. It all works very nicely.
  
  But I’ve been thrown a curve: The client wants the documents in some folders to be viewable only by registered users, but wants all users (registered or not) to be able to see the documents listed in the table of contents pages.
  
  I’ve set up a user group for registered users, and set each restricted document to be accessible only by those users (MODx makes that part sooo easy , but then they disappear from my Wayfinder-generated tables of contents until a registered user logs in.
  
  So my question is: Is there a way to make Wayfinder list documents that can’t be opened until the user logs in? (maybe by modifying the code?)

  A feature request for Wayfinder:
  
  I’m using Wayfinder to create "tables of contents" listings for sets of documents that are contained in various folders. For some of these listings I wanted to display each document’s title, introtext, and each document’s custom icon (which I’ve referenced, for each document, in a template variable).
  
  The problem I had is that Wayfinder doesn’t directly let me access TVs or some of the other document fields I wanted.
  
  The workaround I adopted is to set the anchor’s TITLE attributed to the docid, then in template chunks to embed calls to the GetField snippet, which takes the docic and gets the fields I want. This works fine, but seems like a bit of a hack.
  
  So my request is for Wayfinder to be able to return any document field or TV that I care to specify in its parameters. Does that make sense?

  The solution here is MemberCheck + two different calls to Wayfinder with and without links in the templates.

  Hello, thanks for this good snippet.
  I’m trying to display list of document according a tv wich contains keywords.
  Is there a way to display them with wayfinder (I missed that oossibilitie)?
  The hack DropMenu Mindspill do it but is not highly configurable.
  DropMenu Mindspill
  What it does:
  

  
  I’ve modified the DropMenu snippet to support the following:
  
  1. Show all items regardless of whether they’ve been flagged to appear in the menu or not.
  2. Link to a weblink’s URL rather than the weblink itself.
  3. Filter docs via a regular expression on their keywords.
  4. Filter docs via a regular expression on a given template variable.
  5. Join the results using AND, XOR, OR, NOT.
  6. Assign a css class to weblinks (so they can be styled to indicate they’re external links).
  

  
  My question is how can I display links according a keywords.

  At this point that functionality does not exist in wayfinder.

  The keyword functionality does, however, exist in Ditto.
  http://modxcms.com/Ditto-487.html
  Ditto is geared towards listing the contents of documents, but a basic template with just a link to the document can be created.
  No, I don't know what OpenGeek's saying half the time either.

  Thanks for your reply.
  Kyle, are you planning to implement such filters ?

  I will look into adding it, the reason I haven’t added any tv support is due to the extra processing required to get them included.
