Hi, Lets say there is menu looking like:

Page1
Page2
subpage 1
subpage 2
Page 3
subpage 1
subpage 2

I have Page menu on top horizontal navigation and I would like to have subpage items on a sidebar navigation. For example if you go to Page2 you will see navigation of subpages of Page2 on a side. If you go to Page 3 you will see submenu for only this page on a side. Does anubody knows what calls and where I should put to get this effect? I was searching documentation and forums with no success (Ifound just one about DropMenu but it has been replaced by Wayfinder in new ModX...) Is it possible ?
Thanks.

For the top level menu

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

For the sub-menu.

 [[Wayfinder? &startId=`[!UltimateParent? &topLevel=`1`!]`]]

You will need to style them.
Look here for more info.

The above call is missing the closing ` after the UltimateParent call.

 [[Wayfinder? &startId=`[!UltimateParent? &topLevel=`1`!]`]]

Thanks a lot!!
Actually I modified this to:

[!Wayfinder? &startId=`[[UltimateParent]]` &parentClass=`show` !]

and it is also working

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know also.

Should be part of the wayfinder forum, sticky and tutes.
