[SOLVED] Wayfinder + 3 level vert menu problems

OK, this time I am sure I figure it out (I hope). The problem was that the snippet was checking if the current doc was a parent and not the doc in the menu. To corrent this all you need to do is add the &id=`[+wf.docid+]` to the snippet call.



Silly mistake...oh well live and learn

Let me know if this works

finally it works! thanks a lot. i’ve made a couple of silly mistakes too while trying to make this work...

nb: don’t try to configure wayfinder under heavy influence. it could be very dangerous for your mental health

btw i modified snippet isParent a little bit:

and the snippet call as follows:
[!isParent? &id=`[+wf.docid+]`!] (uncached)
[[Wayfinder? ... ]] (cached)

btw it’ll be nice config pack

cool

I’m Wondering all these solutions within forum topics goes deep in the archives and its hard to be found by someone else who has the same issue!, when was the last time you have figured the issue right by browsing many topics that barely matches the exact issue of yours?
I would love to add stuff to the wiki but honestly my English sucks!

EDIT: Typo correction

Feel free to send me anything if you want help with ’fixing’ the english. But then we may need someone else to fix my typos

I have a few planned wiki additions but just haven’t had the time to get it together. There are also a few items that could be updated. I agree there could be a better way to find things.

why not using the &parentClass?

I needed this also in the latest config I made:

I used


this only works in the config I think.

but it works great

didn’t test &parentClass but i think it’ll give such class to ALL parents and i don’t need it for 1 level.

its not a problem if all parets get it just skip those in your css

That would have worked but IMO would have left ’dirty’ code with class that were not used/needed. This could also confuse anyone, including yourself, when doing any future work on the site. However with this method you could create a config pack and not need a snippet, that would be nice.

It would be nice to have the WF class assignment be as segmented as the templates, for example a innerParentClass setting would have worked here. Maybe have a more flexible PHx style setup where you could set the level classes in one step on a level to level basis like this:
&levelClass=`level:2,active:here,parent:fly` this would set the active and parent classes on level2 menu items.


This is cool, I never realized that you could build dynamic classes in this manner. That is a great tip, I am sure that I will use this in the future. Building on MotSmart’s comment it would be fantastic to have a Wayfinder wiki with all these user contributed tips.

Alright then, i used to add the wiki worth forum links to the wiki wanted pages but, I’ll send you the tricks with the links to the reference and to the destination page of wiki, I have added a very much needed link of How to Get involve in wiki’s index page, & i know it sounds parallel to some other help page or wiki worth topics page but, This might be a container of all the information needed to wiki’s possible contributors, like how they can add some articles or why there is a need of doing so, As i think they might be thinking of a wiki as of official documentation and they simply forget about involving there, Here we talk about those people who are just shy of asking or finding how they can add something they know, Or we can add some notes about gathering tiny pieces of information by anyone, Even we can make some another category like [[to be compeleted]] that only contains tiny raw information about the tricks in a MODx resource usages, and ask someone who knows the smartest way to get it done, At least we will make some motivation to whomever could possibly make a page without the lack of english grammar and typos

BTW the idea of dynamic classes is exciting, ill look into the wayfinder’s wiki page.
