‘folding’ navigation list problem – custom code

  • Resolved dwzemens

    15 years, 5 months ago

    I have some custom PHP written to show, in a sidebar, the navigation for the site.

    <?php if(is_404() or is_search()) : ?>
	<!--put here what you want to show on your 404 and searchresults pages instead of the childpages-->
	<?php else : ?>
	<?php
		if($post->post_parent)  // If this is a Child page
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
		else
		$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");  // This is a Parent page
		if ($children) { ?>
		<ul class="subnav">
			<li><h2 class="menu-image"><small><em>more choices</em></small><br /><?php echo($parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent)); ?></h2></li>
		<?php include("recent-news-edu.php"); ?>
		<?php echo $children; ?>
		</ul>
	<?php } ?>

<?php endif; ?>

    The test site is located at:
    https://gator956.hostgator.com/~dwzemens/worship/mass-times/

    Here’s the client’s question that I cannot solve:
    Is it possible to reconfigure the way the sidebar menus show up, so that the entire section appears (like the entire WORSHIP section) whenever a visitor is in ANY part of the worship pages? For example, if I go to WORSHIP I see a full index of WORSHIP, then I click on SACRAMENTS and see a full index of WORSHIP, then I click on BAPTISM, and I’d like to still see that full index, but I only get the SACRAMENT index.

    Can anyone offer any help for me by a modification to this code or by suggesting some other method?

    Thanks so very much for the help.

-->
<?php if(is_404() or is_search()) : ?>
	<!--put here what you want to show on your 404 and searchresults pages instead of the childpages-->
	<?php else : ?>
	<?php
		if($post->post_parent)  // If this is a Child page
			{
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0");
				//echo("Sub Level Menu");
				$this_post = $post->post_parent;
				//echo("X--.$this_post.--X");

				//  https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/252513?replies=5
				$ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post);
				$root=count($ancestors)-1;
				//echo "root page id  is >> " . $ancestors[$root];
				$da_child = $ancestors[$root];

				// https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/227954?replies=6
				//if (in_array(854,$ancestors)) echo "--854 is an ancestor of the post";
				// Get the entire page list from the topmost ancestore down using $da_child variable below
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=$da_child&echo=0"); // Baptism sub page
			}
			else
			{
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");  // This is a Parent page
				//echo("Top Level Menu");
			}
		if ($children)
			{ ?>
				<ul class="subnav">
				<!-- only display title for top level ancestor page -->
				<li><h2 class="menu-image"><small><em>more choices</em></small><br /><?php echo($parent_title = get_the_title($da_child)); ?></h2></li>
				<!--<li><h2 class="menu-image"><small><em>more choices</em></small><br />< ?php echo($parent_title = get_the_title($post->post_parent)); ?></h2></li>-->
				<?php include("recent-news-edu.php"); ?>
				<?php echo $children; ?>
				<?php //echo $ancestors; ?>
			</ul>
	<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>
