    I understand that DropMenu has been deprecated in favour of Wayfinder, but a huge number of site templates in the downloads section require it.
    Where ca I download it, or would you strongly advise not installing it with 0.9.5 ?
    Alternatively, is there a tutorial somewhere explaining how to replace basic DropMenu calls with equivalent WayFinder ones?

    I realise that things move on, but I suspect lots of newbies like me download templates and get confused when they don’t work.

    Thanks,

      OK, this might be useful info to put in the wiki...


      Replacing DropMenu with Wayfinder

      Some older templates may use the deprecated DropMenu snippet instead of WayFinder. The DropMenu snippet is not included in MODx 0.9.5 or above.
      These templates can often be easily updated to use Wayfinder by replacing the call to DropMenu as follows:

      Example DropMenu call in template file:
      [!DropMenu?startDoc=`0`&levelLimit=`1`!]

      Can be replaced by:
      [!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=1!]


      Hope that helps someone!

        I added the above to the Wiki here:

        If someone more experienced could check what I’ve said it would be appreciated.
        I’m not sure of the etiquette of coming along and updating your documentation, so apologies if it isn’t the done thing!
