Wayfinder fails when using Static Chunks

    This one is driving me nuts. I have a simple Wayfinder call that works fine so long as the Chunks are normal database Chunks. The Wayfinder call fails when I use Static Chunks. Anyone seen this?

    This works:
    [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`2` 
&outerTpl=`outerTpl` 
&innerTpl=`innerTpl`]]


    But this fails -- only the top level pages are listed (nesting fails), so the problem could have something to do with the innerTpl? :

    [[!Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`2` 
&outerTpl=`outerTpl-STATIC` 
&innerTpl=`innerTpl-STATIC`]]


    Where in all cases, I'm using the default formatting string for the database and static chunks -- I've event tried printing these to the logs from within the Wayfinder class and it's seeing them correctly:
    <ul[[+wf.classes]]>[[+wf.wrapper]]</ul>



    Wayfinder 2.3.3-pl
    MODX 2.2.9-pl
    I've disabled plugins and I've set this up on a blank template to ensure that JSS or CSS are not interfering.

      Out of curiosity, what happens if you call this Wayfinder snippet cached [[Wayfinder?... instead of [[!Wayfinder?...

      Also, what do your outerTpl and innerTpl look like?

      I'm wondering if you are experiencing some similar problems as this issue: http://bugs.modx.com/issues/10157

      spackko, was having an issue on 2.2.9 only showing first level. [ed. note: nuwebstudios last edited this post 13 years ago.]

        The problem was with 2.2.9 somehow. Reverting to 2.2.8 fixes this.

        outerTpl and innerTpl were the same:

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


        No difference whether the snippet was uncached or not.

          I'd recommend explaining your scenario on the issue I just linked to as it might help them better identify the problem. Though it's not specifically related to startId=`0` it sounds like you are having a related issue.

            Def. seems like it's plausibly related -- I'm dealing with multiple contexts and the startId of 0 could plausibly be misconstrued in that situation. If I can write a unit test, I'll post it with that bug report.

              Here is the patch; various uses of Media Sources were breaking the parser state and causing this issue — https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/commit/5cd13cba13e52e888cff5a5209b4d88bb976daf5

              Will be in 2.2.10 shortly...

                I'm having the same issue with a FormIt chunk that does not function when Is Static is checked but does when it is not. I'll try the patch above later today.

                I assume we just backup our current modparser.class.php file and replace it with the one on github?

                  Using this patch fixed my FormIt "Is Static" issue. My Wayfinder chunks were all set to Is Static but they worked anyway. [ed. note: rx2 last edited this post 12 years, 11 months ago.]
