How do I "Split"the output of Wayfinder ???

Hi !
I’m using Wayfinder to generate my menus, but i would like to "split" the links generated by Wayfinder :
for example, Wayfinder generates 10 links, but i would like to put the 1st five links somewhere in the html code, and the 5 others somewhere else in the html code
( all the generated links are the direct children of a given folder page, but in the menu of that folder page i need to distribute them in several groups for more clearness )

i could have created subfolders for each of those groupes, and then call wayfinder multiple times on the folder page, but maybe there is a simpler way ...

thanks

I don’t think Wayfinder will split results like this.

you mean wayfinder can’t do that ?

Not without multiple calls I don’t think so. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

I think that you could use multiple calls and select what Id’s to include or exclude:


this only works if the menu is not changing to often

yes but then i’d have to modify that page each time i add a subpage
couldn’t i add a template variable to those subpages, for example the "group" tv, then in the wayfinderS calls i would add an "where group=n"
( i remember that in Ditto it was possible to test the values of tvs, does wayfinder also include this ? )

thanks

Wayfinder and Ditto are different snippets. You might be able to do it with Ditto and a custom template.

then i’ll take a look at ditto,
by the way what are the exact differences between Ditto and Wayfinder ??
Ditto would be for blogs Wayfinder for pure menus, but as both have a template function and advanced configuration options, every menu/blog coded with one could be coded with the other, couldn’t it ?

thanks

Ditto doesn’t generate nested lists. You’d likely need a root Wayfinder call and a Ditto call to split the results.
