Hi there

Is there a way that wayfinder shows a menu structure like this:

Structure of resources in the manager:

Level 1
-- Level 2 (marked as "don't show in menu")
---- Level 3.1
---- Level 3.2

To output should be:

Level 1
---- Level 3.1
---- Level 3.2

The option &excludeDocuments will exclude also all the children of a resource/container that is excluded from the menu.
The combination &ignoreHidden thogether with &excludeDocs won't work either

My setup:

MODX 2.2.6
Wayfinder 2.3.3

Thanks for your help.

Fabian

Setting Level 2 to "Hide from Menus" will hide its children too.

You could use the property levelClass:

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &levelClass=`layer`]]

That assigns a class="layer1" to the item Level 2 and a class="layer2" to the items Level 3.1 and Level 3.2 (because the counting starts at the children of the top level).

If you then define this rule in your CSS, it should work:

li.layer1 { display: none; }

This seems to be a practicable way to solve my problem.

Thank you for your hint.

Best regards.
