Minor bug in function _page_level_out ()

  • I can’t find anything regarding this function so here’s my story.

    I’m using 1.5-beta-1 2005-01-27 and tried to modify the Pages list (normally in sidebar.php) into a horizontal bar which I put in the header.php. But discovered an obsolete “ul” “/ul” tag when displaying with depth=1 for children post. This gave me extra space below my menu bar.

    After modifying a piece of code of the function _page_level_out() (./wordpress/wp-includes/template-functions-post.php) in
    ...
    if(isset($cur_page["children"]) && is_array($cur_page["children"])) {
    $new_depth = $depth + 1;

    if(!$args["depth"] || $depth < ($args["depth"]-1)) {
    echo "$indent<ul>\n";
    _page_level_out($page_id,$page_tree, $args, $new_depth);
    echo "$indent</ul>\n";
    }
    }

    ...

    everything worked as expected with and without title or depth.

  • Hmmmm… This is very interesting. I have been frantically trying to customize the way that pages displays, but I have very limited php ability. I guess I need to hit the books to edit the pages formatting.

    May I ask why you are editing this code? Because I have a suspicion that I am attempting the same edit.

    I want all of my top pages to look like a horizontal menu bar at the top of my screen. A bit like the menu at WordPress. If I do that with wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1’) I get an ugly space below my bar due to unneccessary ULs. With this modification they’re gone like they should.

    in the mean time (assuming your ul is inside a div with id hmenu) something like

    #hmenu li ul {
    display: none;
    }

    Should be able to patch the problem in css.

    Thanks Womby, this works great!

    BTW I’ve been looking through all functions and serched the forum but seem not to be able to find what I’m looking for. I need a function that tells me the ID of the top page (the one without a parent) of the current page.

    Why? Because I need this in order to present me a 2nd bar with all the first level children (wp_list_pages () with the option child_of) and to keep it there when I click the link. Any suggestions?
