Can't get Wayfinder categoryFoldersTpl to work

[magnusviri]

Summary

I’m trying to get categoryFoldersTpl to work. I’ve followed the instructions in the pdf “Using Wayfinder.pdf” on sottwell -dot- com (forum wont let me post a link).

Step to reproduce

I’ve created a chunk for the category folder named “navCategoryHeadings”. The chunk contains this text.

<li class=“menuheading”>[+wf.linktext+][+wf.wrapper+]</li>

My Wayfinder call is as follows.

[[Wayfinder? &categoryFoldersTpl=`navCategoryHeadings` &startId=`1` &depth=`3`]]

The documents that are suppose to be categories (and not links) have children documents, have the “Uses Template” field set to “(empty)” or “Link Attributes” set to ‘rel=“category”’ (I’ve tried both). I’ve also tried creating a Static Resource.

I can’t think of what else I’m missing.

Observed behavior

The parent documents have tags (it’s not using the navCategoryHeadings chunk).

Expected behavior

The parent documents shouldn’t have tags

Environment

MODX 2.6.5-pl, Wayfinder 2.3.3-pl, CentOS 7, Apache/2.4.35, MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.23. Safari/Firefox on Mac OS X 10.12.

The tag syntax you’re using, [+wf.linktext+], belongs to Evolution. As you’re running Revolution, that’s not going to work.

Wayfinder for Evo and Revo are pretty similar, so you might just need to change [+key+] to [[+key]] to resolve it:

<li class="menuheading">[[+wf.linktext][[+wf.wrapper]]</li>

I fixed that. It still doesn’t work. I enabled debugging and here is the output. It looks like everything should work. My next step is to modify the source code and see if I can figure it out, which I’m not exactly looking forward to. The item that should be a category is doc 11.

Ha. I stared at the code above for a long time (ok, 3 minutes) and saw “isfolder false” and wondered if that had anything to do with it so I found the “Container” settings for the page and checked it and now it works.

Thanks.
