Getting Wayfinder to work

Hi again.

I’m trying to get wayfinder to work.
I installed and set up modx revo, and set a basic test site up.
I’ve created templates and resources, and set up friendly urls.

Now I want to create a basic flat navigation menu.

I used package management to download and install wayfinder, and cleared the cache.

My test template includes this bit of code:





I then assign that template to a resource.
When I then preview the resource, I can’t see a menu.
That portion of the html source for the page is blank.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hello

If you want your Wayfinder menu starts with the resource ID 1 (your home page I suppose) you have to call Wayfinder with a &startId=`0` where "0" is the root, (and the root is not a "resource" and has no ID so it’s 0). You can also precise the depth of your menu by setting the &level parameter



Hope this helps
Cheers

The &startId parameter indicates the parent you want to start with; in other words Wayfinder will use the children of the resource whose ID you specify for generating its menu.

Thanks.

changing the startId property got it working.

I cannot get the wayfinder to work!

This is what I have,

[[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=`1 &outerTpl=`mmenuouter`]]

But nothing shows there is nothing in the outputted code, is there something I am doing wrong?

cbartgu,

It seems you ommit the ending backtick in &level=`1` your call is [[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=`1backtick is missing here &outerTpl=`mmenuouter`]]
Cheers

Yes, well spoted I changed it, but it still is not showing any of the menus, I had the wayfinder sussed in the old modx but now it seems to have changed, this is my code that does not work,

[[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0`&level=`1`&outerTpl=`mmenuouter`]]

Any more suggestions,

cbartgu,

Try to use the &debug=`1` option, it will output a table with informations of what he has found.
If not, reinstall wayfinder or check if you’ve entered the right reference into &startId.

Even if you have not set the options properly, if debug setting is on true, it should output the debug table if wayfinder is working properly.

[[!Wayfinder?&startId=`0` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`mmenuouter` &debug=`1`]]

The debug is not showing, is there anything else I need to do to see it?

Try to reinstall wayfinder first, and leave outerTpl empty to see if it outpu the default chunk menu.
