[solved] Parent looses active state after sub site navigation

There are two menus atm

Menu1: Folder1, Folder2, Folder3
Menu2: FolderN_SubPage1, FolderN_SubPage2, [...]

Menu1 Folder1 stays highlighted while navigating thru its sub pages via Menu2.
So that part works as it should.

Now I need another sub nav in FolderN_SubPageN.
But when I move around via that Sub-SubNav the formerly selected FolderN_SubPageN menu entry in Menu2 looses its active state.

Menu1 WF Call:

 [!Wayfinder?startId=`0` &level=`1` &hideSubMenus='true' &hereClass=`focused` !]

Menu2 WF Call:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &rowTpl=`vo_ml_rowTpl` &hereTpl=`vo_ml_hereTpl`
 &categoryFoldersTpl=`vo_ml_folderTpl` &innerTpl=`vo_ml_innerTpl` &innerRowTpl=`vo_ml_innerRowTpl` !]

Menu3 will be normal links (e.g. a multipart form splitted into various sites for each step/part)

Doc Tree:

Folder1
. . SomeFolder
. . . .Folder1_SubPage1
. . . .Folder1_SubPage2
. . . . . .Folder1_SubPage2_Sub1
. . . .[...]
[...]
Folder2
Folder3

I hope thats not too confusing

It’s not confusing but I think what we actually need to help here is the content of your &hereTpl, &innerTpl / &innerRowTpl and associated styles/css wink

vo_ml_hereTpl

    <li class="activated">
        <a title="[+wf.linktext+]" href="[+wf.link+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>
    </li>

vo_ml_innerTpl

[+wf.wrapper+]

vo_ml_rowTpl

    <li>
        <a href="[+wf.link+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>
    </li>

vo_ml_innerRowTpl does not exist, guess I set it when messing around with WF sometime

ZeTi, did you find a solution to the problem? I am experiencing the same issue using MODx 0.9.5 and Wayfinder 1.0.

My setup involves graphics for the main nav and text links for the secondary navigation. My Wayfinder calls are as follows:

For the main navigation in the header:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`mainOuter` &rowTpl=`mainLink` &hereTpl=`mainCurrent` &activeParentRowTpl=`mainCurrent` &debug=`1`!]

In the left navigation pane:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent? &topLevel=`1`]]` &level=`1` &sortBy=`menutitle` &outerTpl=`leftnavOuter` &rowTpl=`leftnavLink` &hereTpl=`leftnavCurrent` &debug=`1`!]

You can also view it in action with debug on at: http://76.12.25.30/Meet-Our-Doctors.html

Does anyone else have some thoughts on what the source of the problem may be?

The way you want it works here.

@pixeldriven:
Well you see the Menu1 and Menu2 WF calls I posted above. Menu1 is your main nav and Menu2 your secondary navigation.
The documents are placed inside folders, aren’t they?
Then it should work.

Menu1 WF Call:

 [!Wayfinder?startId=`0` &level=`1` &hideSubMenus='true' &hereClass=`focused` !]

Menu2 WF Call:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &rowTpl=`vo_ml_rowTpl` &hereTpl=`vo_ml_hereTpl`
 &categoryFoldersTpl=`vo_ml_folderTpl` &innerTpl=`vo_ml_innerTpl` &innerRowTpl=`vo_ml_innerRowTpl` !]

If I understand your problem correctly you want the "active" item in the first and second menu when you select a child.

Pretty similar to how I have done www.wssunaa.org

If that is the case you need to add a &hereClass=’sec_focus’ to the second navs WF call.

Hope that helps,

Actually this was the first I have tried, because that’s the way it works in the first menue, but it didn’t work.
Tried it again, it conflicts with rowTpl.

thanks!
