    Hi guys,

    I’ve tried to make a menu with Wayfinder (Ultimate Dropdown from CSSPlay). Works fine, but only on startup page. But after clicking on a menupoint without child documents there’s no longer a menu. Clicking on a menu element with child-docs it displays only these child in a horizontal list.
    My document tree is shown below...

    Can anyone help me with this problem?

        Hi Swarf,

        in order to help you further, it is important that you provide more information.

        1a. What is your wayfinder call? (show us the code of how you are calling wayfinder) e.g.

        [[Wayfinder? &startId=`0`]]


        1b. Where have you placed your call (template? within a document?)

        2. What are the chunks (templates) you are using for your wayfinder call? (paste the chunks here) e.g.

        <ul>  [+wf.wrapper+] </ul>


        3. It may also be helpful to see your CSS file, though this may not be initially necessary.

        4. Please clarify the following:

        Works fine, but only on startup page.


        Do you mean your home page or the page which first contains your wayfinder call?

          But after clicking on a menupoint without child documents there’s no longer a menu.


        Do you mean that the menu disappears from the page/there is no navigation?

        Clicking on a menu element with child-docs it displays only these child in a horizontal list.

        How do you want them displayed, vertically?

        5. If you have a link to your site/test site, you can post it so we can have a look.

        6. Finally, have you read the wayfinder documentation?

        cheers/k

          Thanks for your help, kongondo.

          So here it is:
          1.
          Wayfinder-Call in my Template:
           <div id="navigation">
             [!Wayfinder? &StartId=`11` &level=`3` &parentRowTpl=`cssplay_revParentRow` &cssTpl=`cssplay_ultdrop &outerTpl=`outerTpl`!]
              </div>

          2. / 3.
          Chunks used as written here: http://www.muddydogpaws.com/development/wayfinder/examples/example-7.html
          Code, CSS are almost the same (CSS is proved).

          4. I mean my homepage which also is my first of the wayfinder call.
              Yes, the menu disappears completely. Menu should be like in the Tutorial/Example link above.

          // oh, I’m sorry, can’t post a link ’cause site’s on my localhost (no access)
          /// yeah, I’ve read the Documentation, of course.

          Thanks!

            Wayfinder-Call in my Template:
             <div id="navigation">
             [!Wayfinder? &StartId=`11` &level=`3` &parentRowTpl=`cssplay_revParentRow` &cssTpl=`cssplay_ultdrop &outerTpl=`outerTpl`!]
             </div>

            First thing i notice is that you are missing a back-tick ` in your code in `cssplay_ultdrop . It shoul be `cssplay_ultdrop`. Is that the way it appears in your code or it’s just a typo here?

              It’s right so written in my template. Now with back-tick, but it already worked without, too.
