This is the basic setup of th menu.

          <!-- Navigation item -->
          <ul>
            <li><a href="index.html">Overview</a></li>
          </ul>

          <!-- Navigation item -->
          <ul>
            <li><a href="#">Basic Layouts<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
              <table><tr><td>
                <ul>
                  <li><a href="layout1_basic.html">Basic-1 (1-col)</a></li>
                  <li><a href="layout2_basic.html">Basic-2 (2-col)</a></li>
                  <li><a href="layout3_basic.html">Basic-3 (2-col)</a></li>
                  <li><a href="layout4_basic.html">Basic-4 (3-col)</a></li>
                  <li><a href="layout5_basic.html">Basic-5 (3-col)</a></li>                                    
                </ul>
              </td></tr></table><!--[if lte IE 6]--></a><!--[endif]-->
            </li>
          </ul>

This is my rowTpl:

 
<!-- Navigation item -->
<ul>
<li><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>[+wf.wrapper+]</li>
</ul>

Then is my innerTpl:

<table><tr><td>
<ul>[+wf.wrapper+]</ul>
</td></tr></table><!--[if lte IE 6]></a><![endif]-->

This is my innerRowTpl:

<li><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>[+wf.wrapper+]</li>

Now this comes extremely close, but I am unsure how to get that

<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->

ONLY when there is a submenu. If I place that code into rowTpl then it will show up for the first Navigation Item when I only want it for the Second one that has the submenu?

You can use the template &parentRowTpl.

This template is only used on folders that have children displayed in the output of Wayfinder.

Kyle,

That almost does it, but it will cause things to mess up when the Parent’s children are documents that aren’t set to be in the menu. If it is a Parent without any children that belong in the menu, then I would need it to be templated as if it wasn’t a parent at all. Just so you know, this is all for the Multiflex-3 template which I can get to work flawlessly in everything but IE. It always causes so much headache :-D

I think it should work even if the sub items are not set to show in menu. This should work because for that template to be used the item has to have sub-items displayed.

That’s strange because it is using the parentRowTpl for a document that is a folder, but within the folder all the documents are set to not show in the menu. This seems to make sense when looking at the code as it is only checking to make sure the document is a folder at the top level, I think. What would be the easiest way to add a template option for a Parent with no visible children?

try changing line 212 in wayfinder.inc.php to this, I have not tested this but I think it should work.

        } elseif ($resource['isfolder'] && $this->templates['parentRowTpl'] && ($resource['level'] < $this->level || $this->level == 0) && $subMenu) {

Kyle,

I am sorry to be a pain in the ass. If I could figure it out I would fix it myself. But placing $subMenu in the conditional is not changing anything. I believe $subMenu is always evaluated as ’TRUE.’ Any other ideas? I did place ’FALSE’ in there just to check and make sure I had the conditionals setup correctly, and that was altering the output, so again I think $subMenu is always evaluating to ’TRUE.’

Kyle do you have any other ideas on solving this problem that we discussed in this thread?

Kyle’s out for a week on the slopes... I suspect he’ll be responding after Christmas, or right before.
