the second menu

Hi,

I am trying to create 2 menus on the left column of my site and I have no idea how to implement the second one.

Need a starting point at least.

Thank You

You can duplicate your Wayfinder call and configure it for the second menu.

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &excludeDocs=`6,48`]]

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &includeDocs=`6,48`]]


Isn’t there another way? This method is not to elegant.

If you want two identical menus, you can set the output of a Wayfinder call to be a placeholder, then use that placeholder wherever you want the menus to appear.

&ph name of a placeholder to set instead of directly retuning the output results

So you would add this to your Wayfinder snippet call (it won’t put anything where it’s called):

then put this in your HTML where you want the menu:

Elegant or not, it’s the method that works if you want to have two different menus and use Wayfinder for this, and personally, it’s not violating my sense for aesthetics.

But maybe there is a more elegant solution, if we have more details about what you want to achieve.

I am just referring to the fact that if I add a new menu item in the second menu I will have to modify the parameters

hmm...

Or you can make something like this:

for the first menu set ids from 0 to 99 and for the second from 100 to whatever

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &limit=`99`]]

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`100` &level=`1` ]]

Maybe you can solve that by creating two folders, one for the docs 1 - 100, the other for the docs > 100. That way, you can reference the folder in your wayfinder call, and everything that is added to the > 100 folder is displayed in the menu automatically.

cool

Thx

Yes, that Tree structure really serves no other purpose than to organize your menus. And if it really gets complicated, you can use TVs and use Ditto with a simple display template as a filtered menu.
