if category slug = page slug – do something useful

  • Hey up,
    I’d like to do something with wordpress that I imagine is possible as this system is so adaptable.

    I use both the blog and static pages. In the blog I need to be able to display links to sub pages whose parent page has the same SLUG as the present blog category SLUG.

    So If I have a blog category with slug “life-2006” and create a static parent page that has the slug “life-2006”, then all its sub page links would appear when viewing that coresponding blog category.

    So I’d need to query the parent category slug and then look in the pages for a matching slug and if this is found – output links to the sub-pages.

    sligowaths wrote this function:

    function get_the_slug() {

    global $post;

    if ( is_single() || is_page() ) {
    return $post->post_name;
    }
    else {
    return “”;
    }

    }

    Not sure if any of it can be used.

    In my primitive php head, the logic works along these lines and I’m very aware the syntax is totally off:

    <?php if (is_category()) & category_slug == is_page() post_slug {
    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
    </ul>
    }

    if (is_single()) & category_slug == is_page() post_slug {
    <ul>
    <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='. $parent_id); ?>
    </ul>
    }
    ?>

    The $parent_id really has no place there – I guess this would require some kind of function.

    Any thoughts?

    Any plugin authors up for this one?

    I’m looking for this same thing– it could be massively useful if it worked. Anybody?
