Pages & Subpages – Please help

Ok so a little more tinkering and I am close…

<?php wp_list_pages('include=18&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 18) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>

		<!-- Contracts -->
	    <?php wp_list_pages('include=25&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 25) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>

		<!-- Civil Engineering -->
	    <?php wp_list_pages('include=5&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 5) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>		

		<!-- Rouse Homes -->
	    <?php wp_list_pages('include=8&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 8) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>			

		<!-- Plant Sales -->
	    <?php wp_list_pages('include=10&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 10) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>

		<!-- Jobs at K Rouse -->
	    <?php wp_list_pages('include=14&sort_column=menu_order&depth=0&title_li=');
			if($post->post_parent)
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
				$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
			if ($children && $post->ID == 14) { ?>
				<ul>
					<?php echo $children; ?>
				</ul>
		<?php } ?>

However now the sud pages disappear once you go in to one of the sub pages.

I know it is probably because I have put the “&& $post->ID == XX” in the statement, but this is needed so it only displays the subpage of the current parent page. I cant think of an elegant way round it.

8 hour bump

hey djmccabe

ive just used this plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/sps-suite-121/

only parent links are visible until you go into that section then the child links for it appear…

hope this helps

:K

Thanks for the plugin Kvnthng!

However I think I must be a bit slow or something, as I just dont get it.

I have installed the plugin, activated it and can see that changing certain things, changes my sider bar, but I dont see anything that makes it work as I was hoping.

Just in case let me explain again:

Siderbar should be like this

Parent Page 1
Parent Page 2
Parent Page 3

Then when click in to Parent Page 1 it would look like this:

Parent Page 1
–Child Page 1.1
–Child Page 1.2
–Child Page 1.3
Parent Page 2
Parent Page 3

And so on.

Maybe I have something very basic wrong in the config of my wordpress site?

Thats what it does…

cant check it as i have just upgraded to the new version of WP Mu and it automatically does it… sorry!

(the latest version of WP may do it too!)

good luck!

This is the plugin I use. It’s simple and does exactly what you want. You just have to activate it and use the custom page list function <?php wswwpx_fold_page_list(); ?> but the arguments are the same as for wp_list_pages().

https://www.webspaceworks.com/resources/wordpress/30/

The simple way to do this is to build page templates, then you could include a different sidebar for each section and only use:

<?php
if($post->post_parent)
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0");
if ($children) { ?>
<ul>
<?php echo $children; ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>

for the actual nav section for each particular include. So, for example, the sidebar for page 3 might look like (simple example)

page 1 (wp_list_pages(‘include=1’)
page 2 (wp_list_pages(‘include=2’)
page 3 (wp_list_pages(‘include=3’)
(include code for subpages here)
page 4 (wp_list_pages(‘include=4’)

does that make sense? The code above shows the child pages even if on a child page and there’s no conditionals required to manage WHICH of the main buttons has a sub-nav because only ONE is available in any sidebar. The choice of page template controls which sidebar has it.

HTH

i have created sites that use the exact code that syncbox provided in the past. i am working on creating a new site for a client using this method as well and it is not working in wp2.5. can anyone confirm that this does/does not work in wp2.5 and perhaps give some suggestions on a workaround?

thanks!

I have also just tried using the code that syncbox provided, and it is not working in WP 2.6.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Kalessin!
I’ve been trying for 2 days to find out how to make this work like this.
I am now a very happy bunny!
