    I’m a Modx total newb, but hopefully catching on. wink Some of those snippets are simply breathtakingly easy... but to get to the point. The Wayfinder snippet is working fine for me to display my top level of menu links. But what I want to do is make two menus-- with different links in each. Is there an easy way to do this?

      All you have to do is call the snippet twice and set the startId to something different for each one.

        Like this exsample I use on my site:

        [[Wayfinder? &startId=`2` &parentClass=`show` &outerTpl=`menyOuterTpl` &innerTpl=`menyInnerTpl` &rowTpl=`menyRowTpl` &parentRowTpl=`menyParentRowTpl` ]]




        [!Wayfinder? &startId=`26` &parentClass=`show` &outerTpl=`menyOuterTpl` &innerTpl=`menyInnerTpl` &rowTpl=`menyRowTpl` &parentRowTpl=`menyParentRowTpl` !]
          I think, thererfor I am! But what I am, and why...?

          And the start ID does what? Is it the menu index or the page ID?

            the startId is where the menu should be built from. so all of the pages underneath the startId will be added to the menu.

                Ok. idk. maybe i’m just not getting it. but what i’m trying to do is list pages with IDs 0-10 in the first menu, and page ids 11-14 in the second. so is this how i should do it?
                <h2>Menu:</h2>
	[[Wayfinder? &startId=`10` &level=`1` ]]
<h2>Other:</h2>
	[!Wayfinder? &startId=`14` &level=`1` ]]

                    Stick 0-10 in a folder. Stick 11-14 in another folder. Use the IDs of those two folders as your startId parameters.
