hey again!
since hours and hours i’m trying to understand the wayfinder so i can effectively use it for my purposes. there are some things i just don’t understand and cannot find in the documentation (muddydogpaws.com/modxcms.com).
ok, here’s the code i use in my template:
[[Wayfinder?
&startId=`0`
&level=`2`
&parentClass=`hide`
&parentRowTpl=`wfParentRow`
&outerTpl=`wfOuter`
&innerTpl=`wfInner`
&rowTpl=`wfRow`
&outerClass=`menu`
]]
the css for now is implemented directly into my template and looks like this:

and this is an excerpt of the generated page:
<div class="navigation" id="navigation">
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li class="active"><a href="http://localhost:8888/modx/" title="Vanga Testsite 1">testsite1</a></li>
<li><a class="hide" href="/modx/index.php?id=3" title="Vanga Testsite 2">testsite2</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="/modx/index.php?id=6" title="submenu level 2">submenu 2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="last"><a href="/modx/index.php?id=4" title="Vanga Testsite 3">testsite3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
what i don’t get is where classes like "active" or "hide" are coming from? and what the do?
i really try to understand it but cannot sort it out :-(
