Wayfinder 'Ultimate Dropdown' Problem

First of all, hello everybody!
I’m quite new to MODx and must say, wow, i’ve finally found the CMS i was looking for!
But now i can’t get around asking a question ...

I want to use a Wayfinder Dropdown menu for my Navigation;
I’ve tried this one http://www.muddydogpaws.com/development/wayfinder/examples/example-2.html and it works fine, but i had a few problems with the configuration, so i decidet to try another one, the Ultimate Dropdown:
http://www.muddydogpaws.com/development/wayfinder/examples/example-7.html

So, again, i created the 2 chunks and pasted the snippet call into my template, but this time it won’t work!
I get a menu, but its just a list of links and no dropdown ... i’ve checked the chunks spelling and the css path and everything, i dont know why its not working ... anyone can help me here?

There’s another funny thing ... when i paste both wayfinder calls like this


the Ultimate Dropdown menu appears, but there are also 2 lists of all links all over the page ...
If i use the first call all alone, the normal dropdown works fine, but if i use the call for the ultimate menu it just does not work ...

I’m using the newest MODx version (0 9 5 i think) with the wayfinder snippet included;
Thanks, Simon

try adding &outerClass=`menu` I think I left that one off of that example.

Thanks for the fast answer

But I’m sorry, with



it does not work either ...
What i get out of this is a Drop-down-like menu which won’t drop down at all and additioanlly further right of it a list of all my menu-links ...

check in the page output that the template is being used correctly. Also if you have any global css definitions they could be throwing things off.

Does it work somewhere built after http://www.muddydogpaws.com/development/wayfinder/examples/example-7.html ?
I made the Wayfinder call in a blank template, but i keep getting just a list of all links like a sitemap, nothing dropdown-like ...

is the code that is being output correct? look at the code for the menu example on my site and if it doesn’t look like that it may be that the tempalte is not being used

omg, can’t believe it

please, do not ask my WHY, but i set the wayfinder call into a <div class="menu"></div> tag, and it works finally!
strange thing, if i leave the class="menu" away, it does not work properly;

i don’t get that ... in my template css file there is no "menu" entry ...

but thanks for your help anyway, kylej!

you know what, I forgot to leave off the outer template that included the surrounding div. I will get that example updated sorry for the confusion.
