Wayfinder 2.0

template variable support; just add a placeholder into your template and it will get processed i.e. for the tv: docTags you would add a placeholder [+docTags+]
link for site start no longer includes the alias; i.e. www.modxcms.com instead of ww.modxcms.com/home.html
Ability to use a configuration file to set all of the wayfinder parameters. more documentation on this to come.
Ability to specify templates like ditto using the @FILE & @CODE options
parent templates only used if child documents are shown in the menu
Enhanced debugging
Rewrote how documents are retrieved to only use one db query for enhanced performance.
New parameter &fullLink - if set to true outputs the full url instead of a relative path.
New parameter &displayStart - displays the document specified as the startId as a header to the menu (only works with startId not equal to 0)
New template &startItemTpl - Used to format the output of the startId Doc if &displayStart is used. Defaults to <h2>[+linktext+]</h2>
New parameter &includeDocs - comma delimited list of documents to be included in output. The startId is still required this just acts as a filter.
New paramter &excludeDocs - comma delimited list of documents to be excluded from the output. The startId is still required this just acts as a filter.
Rewrote some other stuff to make it work better and hopefully a little faster.

Works with MODx Version(s): 0.9.5

Wayfinder is a highly flexible navigation builder.

Description

Totally refactored from original DropMenu nav builder to make it easier to create custom navigation by using chunks as output templates. By using templates, many of the paramaters are no longer needed for flexible output including tables, unordered- or ordered-lists (ULs or OLs), definition lists (DLs) or in any other format you desire.

To view some example menus created with Wayfinder go here: http://www.muddydogpaws.com/notebook/wayfinder-10.html

Instructions

Copy the contents of the file snippet.wayfinder.tpl.php into a new snippet named Wayfinder.

Create a new folder under assets/snippets named wayfinder.

Copy the file wayfinder.inc.php into the newly created folder.

To get the default menu output use the following snippet call: [[Wayfinder? &startId=`0`]]

For documentation on all of the paramters refer to the file wayfinder.documentation.html
