Changing Outer HTML Element on Wayfinder 2.0

    I’m trying create a simple footer with top level navigation, something like this:

    (c) 2008 ACME, Inc. All rights reserved. Home | Options | Support | Contacts

    from the wayfinder documentation, it appears that I should be able to change the outer html element using $outerTPL and then pointing it at a chunk. However, when I try this, wayfinder still uses and unordered list element.

    Can I do what I want to do? If so, how?

    Thanks in advance.

      What is your Wayfinder call and outerTpl chunk?

        $outerTPL is not a valid syntax. It should be &outerTpl=`chunk-name`.

          The wayfinder call is as follows:


          <div id="footer">
          <p align="center">
          &copy;2008 ACME, Inc. All rights reserved.
          [[Wayfinder? &outerClass=bottomMenu &startId=`0` &outerTpl=’bottomMenuOuter’ &rowTpl=`bottomMenuRow`]]
          </p>
          </div>

          And the &outerTpl chunk is as follows:

          <span id="bottomMenu">[+wf.wrapper+]</span>

          Thanks!

            Missing backticks and using single-quotes will cause your problems. Change your call:
                    [[Wayfinder? &outerClass=`bottomMenu` &startId=`0` &outerTpl=`bottomMenuOuter` &rowTpl=`bottomMenuRow`]]
