Wayfinder is the most common and widely used snippet in MODx. Wayfinder snippet is mainly used to construct navigation of your site; it can also be used wherever you need a structured list reflecting the document tree hierarchy.
Since I have started working with MODx, the first snippet I wrote was the Wayfinder snippet. I was very impressed how quickly and easily it creates the navigation and the documentation was clear. After some research I found this free ebook called “Wayfinder – the almost complete guide to constructing menus in MODx” and now I would like to share this with all MODx developers/beginners.
It is a great place to start since it has a complete set of parameters, including template chunks, that will cover the way to understanding how to use MODx snippets. The extent of Wayfinder’s parameter set is wide enough to give you a good idea of the possibilities, but compressed enough to not be intimidating . My first ever MODx website was a static website and the only snippet I used was the Wayfinder to construct menu, footer menu and site map.
