Can I do this with WayFinder?

OK, I’ve now created 2 chunks, navigation and wrapper. Do these need to be in a particular category?

There’s still no change on my navigation.

Oooooh progress. Stay tuned.

Only problem now is my sidebar is throwing up MySQL Errors constantly and sometimes won’t load at all

OK, we’re 95% of the way there

It’s showing the heading, but there’s no hyperlink on it. Even though I do have a value in my URL alias field.

Sorry for the rapid posts.

It’s now upgraded to 99% complete.

Using:

<ul>

<li><a href="/sports/index.php?id=53">[+wf.linktext+]</a></li></ul>

[+wf.wrapper+]

Only down side is when you’re on the Soccer page, as I’ve hard coded the hyperlink, it won’t be on ’active’.

Is there a workaround for this?

try this

<ul>
<li [+wf.classes+]><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a></li
>[+wf.wrapper+]
</li>
</ul>


I noticed that the closing </ul> was left off, so make sure thats there. I’ve added in my example above.

sorry added an extra </li> that time.

<ul>
<li [+wf.classes+]><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a></li
>
[+wf.wrapper+]
</ul>

Thanks for the reply bennyb.

Only downside to that is it sticks in a ’class="active"’ to the main page, even if I’m on one of the children pages.
I suppose it makes sense, but in my case, it looks a bit off.

Is there any way to disable that, so it only has class="active" when actually on that particular page.

@invision,
have you read "The (almost) Complete Guide to Creating Menus in MODx Using Wayfinder" ?
It’s like a Wayfinder bible to us.

Have a quick look, you’ll find out why there are active descendants.

I’ve downloaded it, but I’ve still to read it.
Being honest, the 148 pages put me off. I’m a poor reader.
I will read through it soon.
