Different menu (Wayfinder) for different contexts

that tells MODX to use relative URLs, but we need absolute URLs. Wayfinder/pdoMenu doesn't look at that system_settings value, so you have to also specify it in the snippet call.

Ok, resume. This is what I have:

1. Working on a new server (the old site is up and running on the old host), domain name not moved yet, redirect to new server via hosts file.
2. Working with a subdir for Context2. The site is divided in two: www.domain.tld and www.domain.tld/context2.
3. Resources in context2 need a different (Wayfinder) menu, different site_name, etc.
4. I installed Xrouting.

The problem:
Context1 is working fine. Resources in Context2 do not show the correct menu, site_name, templates. Instead they use the default (?) template of Context1, site_name of Context1, etc.

Settings context1 (web):
base_url- /
http_host- domain.tld
site_url- http://domain.tld/ (yes, without 'www.' and trailing slash)

Settings context2 (Context2):
base_url- /context2/
http_host- domain.tld/context2
site_url- http://domain.tld/context2/
site_name- Context2
site_start- 6

Wayfinder settings context1 (web):
[[Wayfinder?
&startId=`0`
&level=`2`
&contexts=`web`
&scheme=`abs`
&outerTpl=`Wayfinder.outerTpl`
&innerTpl=`Wayfinder.innerTpl`
&parentRowTpl=`Wayfinder.parentRowTpl`
&innerRowTpl=`Wayfinder.innerRowTpl`
&rowTpl=`Wayfinder.rowTpl`
]]

Wayfinder settings context2 (Context2):
[[Wayfinder?
&startId=`6`
&level=`2`
&contexts=`Context2`
&scheme=`abs`
&outerTpl=`Wayfinder.outerTpl`
&innerTpl=`Wayfinder.innerTpl`
&parentRowTpl=`Wayfinder.parentRowTpl`
&innerRowTpl=`Wayfinder.innerRowTpl`
&rowTpl=`Wayfinder.rowTpl`
]]

System setting:
link_tag_scheme- abs
Friendly URL's enabled (both system settings and htaccess) [ed. note: handjes last edited this post 11 years, 7 months ago.]

Settings context2 (Context2):
base_url- /context2/
http_host- domain.tld/context2
site_url- http://domain.tld/context2
site_name- Context2
site_start- 6

The http_host of context 2 is wrong! It needs to be *just* the http_host! So "domain.tld" would be correct!

That's it! It's working. What a relieve.

A good manual for Xrouting might be more than welcome. It's just a lot of guessing right now.

Except for the Wayfinder menu: there is no menu in Context2. When I change site_start to '0' it shows the context1 menu. But when I change it to '6' (which is Home in Context2) it does not show any menu at all.

First you don't need to specify the Contexts in Wayfinder, it defaults to the current context. Then you need to make sure that your resources in context 2 are published and not hidden from menus. Can you double-check that?

Resources are published. With or without
&contexts=`Context2`
in the Wayfinder snippet does not work. The menu won't show in Context2.

That's wired! I currently have no idea what could cause this in your project. It's working in my projects without issues.

If you want I could take a look into your manager, if you can provide access for me. (You could just send that via twitter)

Remember, &startId is the parent, Wayfinder will generate the menu from that resource's children. So even in the other context, the parent you want selected from is still 0 to get top-level items in the menu.

Oh, Susan is absolutely right! I missed that while reading the posts. Handjes, can you check that?
