Making a menu with getResources

Guys I'm trying to create a menu like this, seems to be working ok, but only shows 5 of the 9 docs (or pages). None are hidden from menus, an idea why it wouldn't show them all?

Change the limit property; it is set to 5 in the default properties.

Hi,

I too am trying to recreate a Evo menu in Revo

In Evo I did it with Ditto and it looked like this

	<ul>[!Ditto? &parents=`22`  &hideFolders=`1`  &depth=`2` &tpl=`library-sidetemplate` &display=`20` !]
									
								</ul>

In Revo I tried Wayfinder

[[!Wayfinder? &parents=`8`  &startId=`8`   &level=`2`&hideFolders=`0`  &depth=`2` &tpl=`library-sidetemplate` &display=`20` !]]

which almost worked but I want to stop the folders/containers from displaying.

So I tried getResources

[[!getResources? &parents=`[[*8]]`  &startId=`8`   &level=`2` &hideContainers=`1`  &depth=`2` &tpl=`library-sidetemplate` &limit=`20` !]]

Which gave me zip.

Hope all that makes sense, still new to Revo. Basically i want to hide the containers but still have resource list show in the menu.

Thanks

There are a few errors in your tag syntax and property settings. Try this:

[[!Wayfinder?  &startId=`8`   &level=`2` &hideFolders=`1`  &depth=`2` &tpl=`library-sidetemplate` &display=`20` ]]

or this:

[[!getResources? &parents=`8`  &level=`2` &hideContainers=`1`  &depth=`2` &tpl=`library-sidetemplate` &limit=`20` ]]

Thanks Bob,

but for some reason the Hide folders option isn't working in the Wayfinder call, and the getResources call still gives me zip.

Here's the template chunk

<li><a href="[[~[[+id+]]]]">[[+pagetitle+]]</a></li>

Whoops, too many +'s that solved part of the problem with getresources. Still not displaying exactly as I planned,but it's another small step.

OK, we have a winner, it's always in the syntax.

Thanks Bob.

Yup, it should be:

<li><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></li>

*All* tags in Revo start with [ [ and end with ] ] (minus the space in between the brackets) and there are no tokens at the end, ever.

This gives the active page the relevant class:
[[+id:is=`[[*id]]`:then=`class="active"`]]
And for nested nav you can use:
[[+id:is=`[[UltimateParent? &id=`[[!*id]]`]]`:or:is=`[[*id]]`:then=`class="active"`]]
Make sure the resource is uncached.

I like this solution! Thanks. Output filters are such a time saver, no more IF snippet.
