&hereClass not showing for a weblink?

My menu is working correctly with the exception of setting the hereClass for my main page and when you click the home link. All other pages work fine.

This is the code I’m using.

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &level=`1` &webLinkClass=`` &rowClass=`` &levelClass=`` &firstClass=`` &lastClass=`` &selfClass=`` &useWeblinkUrl=`false`]]

On my document tree I have my main page, with the weblink and other pages just below it. The weblink calls on the main document’s ID and I tried using the full page address too.

All other pages get assigned the class "active" when their links are selected.

What am I missing?

That’s because the page you get when a weblink is selected is not the actual weblink document; rather it’s the document the weblink points to.

Is there anyway around it or an easy way to get it to work?

A friend solved it by adding an id for each element pertaining to its page number and setting a template variable to add some extra css just on the front page to set the link to be active...

it makes sense to me...

Hi there.

i solve this problem by small Wf hack. there is:

in assets/snippets/wayfinder/wayfinder.inc.php in function isHere($did) (near 268 line) i change code like this

    function isHere($did) {
	// begin weblink 'here' patch
	global $modx;
	$doc = $modx->getDocumentObject('id', $did);
	if ($doc['type'] == 'reference')
	  $did = $doc['content'];
	// end weblink 'here' patch
        return in_array($did,$this->parentTree);
    }

work fine by me, but now i think how to minimize getDocumentObject() calls and do it only for documents with type=’reference’. It’s can be done just add one param $type=’document’ to isHere() function and change their call in 248 line of wayfinder.inc.php. May be it’s will be better that the current solution.

Hope it’s help anybody.

King regards!

As far as i’ve tested you’re changes there are occuring problems with sorting on mysql version 4.1 when there is a SELECT DISTINCT without a GROUP BY statement, so i just added the GROUP BY clause on line 380, but i think this will make problems in mysql version 5 so if there is anybody who got a solution working for every version... let me know

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT {$fields} FROM {$tblsc} sc LEFT JOIN {$tbldg} dg ON dg.document = sc.id WHERE sc.published=1 AND sc.deleted=0 AND ({$access}){$menuWhere} AND sc.id IN (".implode(',',$ids).") GROUP BY sc.id ORDER BY {$sort} {$this->_config['sortOrder']} {$sqlLimit};";

I solved this in MODx Revolution 2.0.8-pl without hacking the Wayfinder code or adding custom css.

Basically by using two additional snippets: If and getResourceField, I’m able to check the weblink content and compare it to the current documents URL... when the two match the class of "current" is added to the weblink menu item.

Full details posted here:
