I think I saw a solution on the MODx forums for doing something like that but I can't find the url now. Might be helpful to post the question there and see what responses you get. For the pages appearing jumbled on the upper right side of the page, what you're probably seeing is just the unordered list, which means Wayfinder is working. If you're seeing links to all the pages you've created and for which you've checked the "Show in Menu" box, then Wayfinder is working as expected. All you need to do now is apply your styling. For that I recommend that you spend some time looking through the free ebook by kongondo that I linked to at the end of the post, in the more reading list. If you get stuck feel free to ask. mary Reynaldo

I use images in case i want to use another, more striking font than the usual Arial et al for the links. Here's the code.... <a href="#l"></a> <a href="#l"></a> <a></a> <a href="#"></a> <a href="#l"></a> for the second question... I missed the 'm ', I meant " you have to close them, right?" - So you just put the Wayfinder code [[*****]] inside the ? what happened to my template was that the names of the various pages that i created all appeared but kind of jumbled around the upper right side of the page. Thanks for your patience and help! reynaldo First of all, thanks very much for replying… I use images in case i want to use another, more striking font than the usual Arial et al for the links.

I have never used images for menus. Can you post your current menu code? For the second question, I replaced the < ul> ... < /ul > of the navigation and everything inside it with the wayfinder call. What do you mean by "close the right"? mary For your first question, I’m not 100% sure how you would do that. I have never used images for menus. Can you post your current menu code?

Try to integrate WebLogin and Wayfinder in the header and donno know a thing how to go about. A sample of my header is here on http://wemseo.com/testserver/cb21/ It's made up (on my local server) of 5 chunks. the first chunk has the drop-down login panel and the third chunk is the one with the changing slides and the 5 vertical nav-buttons. I can imagin that I'd need to include the wayfinder call in that 3rd chunk which is called in the template by {{featurewrap}} I read so many posts and tutorial but I am not a PHP programmer and since there are dozens, maybe more possibilities to do that, I am really lost. Offered even payment but no one seems to be interested. Any idea how I could achieve my goals? Thanks a lot Hi Mary, it’s the pain again ;-)

I changed from "bash" to "tcsh" hoping I could do better and now it's even worse ... extreme strange. Tried to find some answers from mac forums, but there is absolute silence out there. Start wondering ... ;-) Thanks Mary, for your input and help. Really appreciate it very much. Yep – I am totally puzzled.
