Hi

I want to make a submenu with Wayfinder and the dropdowns system offered by the Bootstrap framework

But to do this, I need to get the ID of the parent in the innerTpl template.

Is there any way to get it with Wayfinder ?
Something like wf.parent would be really helpfull

I don't think you need that; Wayfinder by default automatically adds a classname of "active" in the current link as well as all of its parents.

There is another property you can use to specifiy a classname for the current link itself if you need one that does not also get added to all all of its parents.

My WF call is like this :

      [[Wayfinder? 
          &startId=`0` &level=`2` 
          &outerTpl=`menuOuter` &outerClass=`nav` &rowTpl=`menuRow`
          &innerTpl=`menuInner` &innerRowTpl=`menuInnerRow`
      ]]

And now the templates used (sorry for the heavy code... it's the dropdowns fonction of Bootstrap...)

* menuOuter :

<ul[[+wf.classes]]>
[[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>

* menuRow :

  <li class="dropdown [[+wf.classnames]]"><a class="dropdown-toggle" id="label[[+wf.docid]]" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" href="[[+wf.link]]">[[+wf.linktext]]<b class="caret"></b></a>
[[+wf.wrapper]]</li>

* menuInner :

<ul class="dropdown-menu [[+wf.classnames]]" role="menu" aria-labelledby="label[[+wf.docid]]">
[[+wf.wrapper]]
</ul>

* menuInnerRow :

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

The goal is to have on the result, the same id="label23" (in menuRow) and aria-labelledby="label23" (in menuInner). The number is for example.

The easy and logical way to do this should to use a WF placeholder like this :

[[+wf.parent]]

... but it doesn't exist !!!
So I'm looking for an alternate way to have this result... [ed. note: Spheerys last edited this post 13 years, 11 months ago.]

You can create a Custom Output Filter - see
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Custom+Output+Filter+Examples

Try this:
Write a snippet named "theparent":

<?php
//Output modifier  :theparent
&res = $modx->getObject('modResource',$input);
return $res->get('parent');

Then where you would have put the desired [[+wf.parent]], write this:

[[+wf.docid:theparent]]

I couldn't test it, but that should do it.

You make a small mistake on the 3d line : &res instead of $res

But it still doesn't work :

<?php
//Output modifier  :theparent
$res = $modx->getObject('modResource',$input);
return $res->get('parent');

The result is the number zero, not the parent's id [ed. note: Spheerys last edited this post 13 years, 11 months ago.]

I just wanted to test you... ;-))

But it still doesn't work :

May be you have to call the placeholder uncached:

[[!+wf.docid:theparent]]

Héhé

I did it, but it always return 0 [ed. note: Spheerys last edited this post 13 years, 11 months ago.]

I made a test: My modifier theparent works like intended, that is [[+wf.docid:theparent]] returns the ID of the parent of the resource with ID [[+wf.docid]].
So obviously it is something else to produce the 0 output.
