A new full menu under every maincategorylink?

Is there a way to do this:

Please take a look at trebaat.net/index.php. There is the main categories in the horisontal menu on the top. And when I click a category, I want to get a menu that is related to the category on the left side.

I tried to use &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]`, but it doesn’t do the trick.

It can be done with different templates for every category, but I want to try to do with only one, a let Wayfinder do the job. If it’s possible.

As it is now, the leftmenu is set to &startId=`0`. and therefor it shows the hole menu, but I want to only show the second level, and use the topmenu as level one.

Trebaat.net/index.php is under construction, and it’s in Norwegian, but it will give a clue.

Thanks in advance, and thank you all for making this great community.

&startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` parameter in the side menu should do it, what’s your whole snippet call?

Thanks for answering. Using UltimateParent doesn’t do it the way i wan’t it. A way I can do it is to put the hole snippetcall in a TV in the main category-documents (Topmenu), with &startId=` the ID for the maindocuments in the Topmenu ` .

My hole snippet-call is like this:

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &parentClass=`show` &outerTpl=`menyOuterTpl` &innerTpl=`menyInnerTpl` &rowTpl=`menyRowTpl` &parentRowTpl=`menyParentRowTpl` ]]

Thanks for answering. Using UltimateParent doesn’t do it the way i wan’t it.

What does it do wrong then? Could you take a screenshot from the site tree and explain how it works and what you want it to list.

You know that UltimateParent get’s the first document frome the tree that the current document is under.. there is parameters to set to it to get the second document for example, if needed (not 100% sure if that parameter is in there by default, but I did that modification to someone once).

When you click on the category it takes you to that categories page, so wouldn’t you want the startId to be the docId of the current page. By default Wayfidner use the current page startId, so just remove the startId parameter and it should work. You could also do &startId=`[*id*]`

I want to have a new menu for every category I click on in the topmenu. But I want to see ALL the levels (the hole menu) regardless of the document I click on in the left menu.

Please see exsample:
[table]
[tr]
[td]Klinkbåt[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td]Bildegalleri[/td][td][/td][td][/td]

[td][/td][td]Testside[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td]ny test[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td]Enda en testside[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td][/td][td]Test for å se meny[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td]Tredjenivå[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td][/td][td]Enda et element[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td]Tredje side[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td][/td][td]Fjerde side[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

When I click on Klinkbåt I want the hole blue menu to show up. And when I click on Test for å se meny or Enda et element or Tredje side I still want the hole blue menu to be there.

I only want the menu to change when I click on another item in the topmenu.

Hopefully this is understandable, and thank you all for trying to help me.

Yes, this is what ultimate parent in startId does. I’m really not understanding why it is not working for you, can you say what it is doing wrong?

You need to have the outer snippet call uncached and UltimateParent cached.

So your topmenu would be something like:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1`!]

And your side menu:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &parentClass=`show` &outerTpl=`menyOuterTpl` &innerTpl=`menyInnerTpl` &rowTpl=`menyRowTpl` &parentRowTpl=`menyParentRowTpl`!]

Thank you very much for your patience! I really appreciate it.

When I use [!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` ..... and I click Enda en testside, the leftmenu then shows

Test for å se meny
Tredjenivå
Enda et element

and not the hole blue menu (ref: http://trebaat.net/index.php?id=10).

One way to do what I want is to make chunks like this:

klinkbåt_ckunk = [[Wayfinder? &startId=`2` ..... ]], where 2 is the ID for the kategory (folder) Klinkbåt.

kravel_chunk = [[Wayfinder? &startId=`3` ..... ]], where 3 is the ID for the kategory (folder) Kravel.

Etc. and then use TVs in every dokument pointing to the right chunk. It works, but it’s not that elegant. And I was hoping it could be done more automatic. (ref: http://trebaat.net/index.php).

It can be done the way I said and I don’t believe that it’s not working.. Are you sure the documents involved all use the same template? and they are structured like this:

Siteroot
* Klinkbåt
* Testside
* ny test
* Enda en testside
* Test for å se meny
* Tredjenivå
* Enda et element
* Tredje side
* Fjerde side

If all is correct, give me Manager access (via pm) and I’ll take a peek..

I have same problem and for me using &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` causes this problem
