[Solved] Wayfinder &parentClass issues

Hello,

I have a website using the latest version of wayfinder and revo 2.0.4pl2 and I am using &parentClass to add an arrow to items with subpages in a dropdown menu.

It works however, wayfinder is adding a parent class to 1 item that has NO subpages, and NOT adding it to 1 item that has subpages.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I just tested that on my 2.07, and it’s working well.

I was thinking that I could replicate your problem by marking a single document as being a "container", but that did not break it.

I was going to say clear the cache, but if you’re getting it on some, that won’t do anything. I’m sorry, I don’t know.

Under "Living" you will see "Community Services & Info" has an arrow and a class of ’parent’ but does not have any children.
Then at the bottom of "Living" you will see "Waste Management" has children, but does not have a class of ’parent’ or an arrow.

Here is my Wayfinder call


Here is my SABRowTpl

Hmmm,
That’s a cheval of a different colour. You may indeed have found a bug. Having the call and template to look at is always more helpful.

I have one last idea before you submit the bug. It may not work, but you can try it. When I’ve wanted those classes to appear, I’ve never used "class=" before wf.classnames, Wayfinder should fill that in for you. Note the difference below:



After taking that out:


BTW, VERY slick styling on that menu... I like it. The arrow thing is really cute. And a nice hover delay is always good.

Good luck, D

There is supposed to be two placeholders for getting classnames into an element - wf.classes, which inserts the whole class="" attribute, and wf.classnames, which only inserts the classnames, not the class="" part.

[+wf.classes+] - where classes specifed will be inserted (includes class=" ")
[+wf.classnames+] - outputs the just the class names (without class=" ")

Yes I know. I used wf.classnames because I needed to add a unique identifier on each li to some unique styling. So is this an official bug with Wayfinder then?

What about trying to use &parentRowTpl to see if that fixes the glitch? Then you could change your Tpl (for parentRow) to read as such:

This may help in pinpointing if there is some setting wrong in the site, or if it is a glitch in WF.

@samba:

That’s wrong. This is the case for wf.classes (see sottwell’s reply).

<li[[+wf.id]] [[+wf.classnames]] n[[+wf.docid]]">

cannot be correct syntax. You see it already from the fact that you have a single " in it.

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

Would I use this instead of &rowTpl or use both together?

You can use :
&rowIdPrefix - If set, this parameter creates a unique ID for each item. The value will be rowIdPrefix + docId. (from RTFM)
and then use:
[[+wf.id]] - outputs a unique id (from RTFM).

I don’t know if this outputs only an id or if it outputs:
id="uniqueID"
as I’ve never used it, but it appears in the example that it will output as above.
