    What does the Wayfinder snippet in the switched template look like? Are the two snippet calls the same on both templates?

    The snippets calls are the same.
    For test I created 1 temlate, but open resource with 2 links:
    mysite.com/index.php?id=13 - normal open (got full menu)
    mysite.com/index.php?id=13&mode=spt - switchtemplate open (got 1-level menu)

    Looks like [[+wf.wrapper]] - placeholder is emty. I dont know how to debug it. [ed. note: amberlionk last edited this post 9 years, 4 months ago.]
    • I don't know what to say to you. I just installed it, tried it, and it's not having any problems with the menu.

      Here is my chunk for testing
      <!doctype html>
      <html>
      <head>
      <title>Testing</title>
      </head>
      <body>
      [[pdoMenu? &parents=`0`]]
      <h1>[[+pagetitle]]</h1>
      <p>This is a test.</p>
      </body>
      </html>


      The menu is the same as for the main template (BaseTemplate)
      <!doctype html>
      <html>
      <head>
      <title>[[++site_name]] - [[*pagetitle]]</title>
      <base href="[[++site_url]]" />
      </head>
      <body>
      <nav>
      [[pdoMenu? &parents=`0`]]
      </nav>
      <hr>
      [[*content]]
      </body>
      </html>

        Strange, with pdoTools menu, it work fine, with wayfinder - dont.
        Maybe its time to move to pdoTools.
        • During my tests I have used pdoTools too. So I did not see the Wayfinder issue …

          There could be some issues in SwitchTemplate i.e. with placeholders and context/system setting placeholders. It is more a hack to bypass the missing template switch but hopefully a good one.

            Second way is the same as you want.

            The "Chunk/Template Name" field contains i.e. '[[*templatevar]]SwitchTpl' and the TV template var is filled for a resource with 'whatever'. Then the alternate template for that resource is changed to 'whateverSwitchTpl'. The other resources use the 'SwitchTpl' alternate template.

            I Jako! Any news for this implementation?
            • Sorry for answering that late. I will work on SwitchTemplate next week.

                  Hi Jako, how can I help you with the implementation I need?
                  • Use the latest version of this extra. It could use i.e. [[+alias]]Whatever as chunk name in a setting. All resource fields are possible as placeholder (no template variables).

                      Thanks Jako, great work!

                      As a resource field can I use the template associated with the resource?
                      For example [[*template]]_m

                      In this way if the resource is associated to template "test" SwitchTemplate will load the template "test_m". Right?
