it is posible to bypass 1 level?

or maybe something similar... ?

I have a document scheme like this:

A
Apples
Alpine
Auto
...
...
B
Bird
Boing
Buh!
...
...
C
Car
Central
...
...
.
.
.
Z
Zaphire
...
...

Making a A - Z index menu will be easy...

but in other section I need to show only the A-Z childs... something like:

Apples Alpine Auto Bird Boing Buh! Car Central ...... Zaphire


how to achieve something like that? any idea?
:(

Set &start to be the ID of the parent.

If you want to display only the child documents of all items, You could also try using a depth of 2 and use the &excludeDocs parameter to exclude the A - Z documents.

Obviously you would have to list the 26 ids in the parameter.

thanks a lot for the tips!

Ill try them

Finally I have tried this... but did not work... the &excludeDocs exclude the letter container and all his childs... so finally nothing is showed...

then tried checking out the Show in menu field of containers, same behavior

only one &startId id can be used, right?

mmm, any idea?


maybe using a wayfinder call for each alphabet letter?
hohoho, what a bruteforce way to go!

You could try to use the parameter &parentClass.
I didn’t check it out, but as an example take
&parentClass=`hidden_parent`,
and in your CSS define
.hidden_parent {display:none;}
I would expect that this won’t affect the visibility of the children.

thanks for the idea ottogal... I thought something similar last night... and tried it just using css (not the &parentClass)
I think that the problem using that aproach is that parent items are UL, then you try to hide them... and the browser hides all the LI too?

You’re totally right - sorry for that wrong idea.
Here’s a better one, I tried it successfully:
Use the Parameter &parentRowTpl refering to a chunk which contains the following code:

So it contains only the [+wf.wrapper+] for the children, but no [+wf.link+], [+wf.linktext+] a.s.o. (what you have in the default &rowTpl).
Let’s say, you name the chunk ’blind_parent’, then your Wayfinder call should read like this:

where you have to replace the ### by the appropiate Id (the parent of the A, B, C...).
Good luck!

Edit: I corrected a typo - it has to be &level=`2`.
