Create a navigation list that excludes "self" (Wayfinder or Ditto)?

I have checked the Wayfinder and Ditto docs, but can’t find anything there to help me -

What I would like to do is to create a dynamic menu that always excludes the document currently being viewed, i.e:

I have a subsection of the site called "articles", with ~20 articles in there. At the bottom of each article, I want to provide the user with links to each other article, and preferably, to exclude the currently viewed article from that list.

Is it possible with either Wayfinder or Ditto?

&excludeDocs=`[*id*]` should do the job.

thanks sotwell, but that is not a dynamic solution (unless I am missing something). I need it to automatically work for any document I add as a child to the "articles" parent. Using excludeDocs I would have to manually edit the call for each page.

The [*id*] part will cause the excluded document to be the currently displayed page. I am sorry if I misunderstood; I thought that was what you wanted.

ah, ok. ***I** misunderstood. I read it as you telling me to put the page ID there - my brain didn’t correctly parse the MODx markup - [*

so, you method *is* what I am looking for. Thanks.

Hi sottwell,

Not sure if you are still watching this topic, or if anyone else can help, but I just got around to implementing this. Here is my call:

and here is a page with that call at the bottom of the main content area:
http://www.yoga-center.co.il/gabi

but it doesn’t seem to exclude the document currently being viewed (first item in that list is the document being viewed, for those wondering what all those letters are). I am sure it is a silly mistake of mine - any ideas?

thanks.

You could try:

That’s what I’ve used on several sites to exclude the current doc from Ditto results.

You could try:

[[Ditto? &parents=`[*parent*]` &filter=`id, [*id*],2` &tpl=`ditto-minilist`]]

That’s what I’ve used on several sites to exclude the current doc from Ditto results.

That’s great - works perfectly - thanks!

I can see you’ve used it successfully on the site and got rid of the self link.
Glad it worked for you.

I was about to suggest a &hereTpl template chunk with no link...
