Thanks Esmi! It must’ve gotten cached somehow in my RSS Reader or something…

It is showing now – YAY!

Fixed some bugs with current page and current page parent…

Just in case you attempt this:

<!-- List pages for navigation - Note that menu_order is defined in WordPress Admin -->
		<?php
		//This funtion allows you to find text between any marker text
		//This allows us to find the pade ID for the parent pages
		function ExtractString($str, $start, $end)
		{
			$str_low = strtolower($str);
			$pos_start = strpos($str_low, $start);
			$pos_end = strpos($str_low, $end, ($pos_start + strlen($start)));
			if ( ($pos_start !== false) && ($pos_end !== false) )
			{
			$pos1 = $pos_start + strlen($start);
			$pos2 = $pos_end - $pos1;
			return substr($str, $pos1, $pos2);
			}
		}

		$parents = wp_list_pages("sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&title=&depth=1&echo=0"); //get parent pages
		$parents_arr= explode("\n", $parents); //put parent pages into an array
		$howmanyparents = count($parents_arr); // find out how many parent pages are in the array

		for($i=0;$i<($howmanyparents - 1);$i++){ //Go through each parent to find the children for that parent
			$trimmedparent = str_replace('</li>','<ul> <div class="place'.($i -1).'">',$parents_arr[$i]); //replace the closing <li> from the parent with a <ul> for the sub-list and the custom div here.
			$pagelist = $pagelist.$trimmedparent; //Add the current parent to the output list of pages - this is where we start rebuilding the wp_list_pages output
			If(stristr($parents_arr[$i], 'current_page_item"') !== FALSE || stristr($parents_arr[$i], 'current_page_parent"') !== FALSE)
			{ //If the parent is the current page item or parent we have to search for the page ID in a different way because the current page/parent has no trailing quote after the page ID in the link
				$parentid = ExtractString($parents_arr[$i], 'page-item-', ' '); //Find the ID of the "current page item" Parent page assigned by WordPress via the "page-item-" part of the link
			}
			Else
			{
				$parentid = ExtractString($parents_arr[$i], 'page-item-', '"'); //Find the ID of the Parent page assigned by WordPress via the "page-item-" part of the link
			}	

			$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$parentid."&echo=0"); //Get the list of children for the current parent using wp_list_pages and the parent's ID
			if($children == "") {$children = "<li>&nbsp;";}
			$pagelist = $pagelist.$children; //Add children to the pagelist
			$pagelist = $pagelist.'</div></ul></li>'; // Close the custom div, sublist, and original parent list item before continuing to the next parent and children

			}
		echo $pagelist;
		?>

The output looks like this:

<ul>
  <li> Parent 1
  <ul>
    <div class=Parent1>
      <li>  Sub 1  </li>
      <li>  Sub 2  </li>
    </div>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li> Parent 2
  <ul>
    <div class=Parent2>
      <li>  Sub 1  </li>
      <li>  Sub 2  </li>
    </div>
  </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Okay, nobody out there has tried this huh? I figured it out, but I’m sure my code isn’t the best and there’s probably a better way to do this. Hopefully this will help someone in the future

<?php
		//This funtion allows you to find text between any marker text
		//This allows us to find the pade ID for the parent pages
		function ExtractString($str, $start, $end)
		{
			$str_low = strtolower($str);
			$pos_start = strpos($str_low, $start);
			$pos_end = strpos($str_low, $end, ($pos_start + strlen($start)));
			if ( ($pos_start !== false) && ($pos_end !== false) )
			{
			$pos1 = $pos_start + strlen($start);
			$pos2 = $pos_end - $pos1;
			return substr($str, $pos1, $pos2);
			}
			}

		$parents = wp_list_pages("title_li=&depth=1&echo=0"); //get parent pages
		$parents_arr= explode("\n", $parents); //put parent pages into an array
		$howmanyparents = count($parents_arr); // find out how many parent pages are in the array

		for($i=0;$i<($howmanyparents - 1);$i++){ //Go through each parent to find the children for that parent
			$trimmedparent = str_replace('</li>','<ul> <div class="place'.($i -1).'">',$parents_arr[$i]); //replace the closing <li> from the parent with a <ul> for the sub-list and the custom div here.
			$pagelist = $pagelist.$trimmedparent; //Add the current parent to the output list of pages - this is where we start rebuilding the wp_list_pages output
			$parentid = ExtractString($parents_arr[$i], 'page_id=', '"'); //Find the ID of the Parent page assigned by WordPress via the "page_id=" part of the link
			$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$parentid."&echo=0"); //Get the list of children for the current parent using wp_list_pages and the parent's ID
			$pagelist = $pagelist.$children; //Add children to the pagelist
			$pagelist = $pagelist.'</div></ul></li>'; // Close the custom div, sublist, and original parent list item before continuing to the next parent and children

			}
		echo $pagelist;
		?>

I agree with this. If you want to have user-generated content for one section of your blog it make it a WHOLE lot easier to restrict by category than to run two separate WordPress installs.

TikiWiki has a VERY granular way of doing this. I don’t think you need that level of granularity, just using the default roles for permissions on categories would usually be sufficient and should be an easy include.
