(WayFinder)Get one link as output [solved(, sort of)]

Ok, so here’s what I want to do; I want wayfinder to output a single link for one page with the ID 3. Sounds easy right, thats what I thought... I do have to ad that I’m a MODx n00b. I have been trying to figure out WayFinder and thought I was making some progress, apparently I was mistaken.

Here is the snippit call;
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &rowTpl=`MenuBlogEntry` &includeDocs=`3`]]

and the MenuBlogEntry chunk;
<a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>

The output I was looking for was something like this (easy right?);
<a href="[~3~]" title="Ad Blog">Ad Blog Entry</a>

Some help would be apreciated, thanx

Well, that should work. Weird. Maybe use uncacheable syntax with [!!] and clear cache in the manager?

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &rowTpl=`MenuBlogEntry` &includeDocs=`3`!]

Doesn’t work either, the output is still nothing, just an empty line in the html.

Maybe I must add that the document with ID 3 is a document only vieweble by a loged in siteadmin, the link should only show up if you view the site as a siteadmin. But it also doesn’t work if I make the document publicly vieweble. I can get to the page is I fill in the ID (index.php?id=3)

...an Idea?

grtz,

I tried your call and it worked fine.
However, one thing is that by using the inner or row template the link is built in a <ul> tag. You should use the outer most template to create the link or include the <li> tags to your template.

Here is the output I got:


Do you have the most current WayFinder?

Yes, its the most resent version of Wayfinder. Its weird that it does nothing in my site, not even an error, just an empty line...I don’t get it.

update:
Ok, I got it to work...I still don’t really know why it works but I was trying a few things and at last for some reason something worked; and I changed all the chunks to only say "[+wf.wrapper+]" except mh.InnerRowTpl which I changed to; and this gave the desired output. Now I can probably change it more to make it a bit more logical but I’m already very happy that it’s working, and I’ve learned to apply the saying "If it aint broke then don’t fix it." lavishly...
