thanks j – curious about your comment on the footer – any chance you could e-mail me a screenshot of what it looks like on your screen?

it’s nice, man, if a little graphically much – but i think that’s what you were going for?

hi – yeah, i figured this out while failing to figure out something else

<?php
global $wp_query;

 if ( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) )
 { ?> this text displayed if page is a parent <?php } else { ?> this text displayed if page is a child <?php } ?>

alternatively, if you’re doing navigation which is mainly the question here (i’m using the fold page plugin which is why the call ( wswwpx_fold_page_list ) looks funny) you can do something like this (see below) – check out the “Navigation” area here: https://www.smallpointclub.com/?page_id=59 | the effect is that the user can click up and down the sub pages and see where they are in relation to the page-parent and the other page-children

<?php
global $wp_query;

if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
$parent_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
$parent_title =
$wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $parent");
}
?>

<h2><a href="https://fernald4portland.com/?page_id=<?php echo apply_filters('the_title', $parent); ?>">"<?php echo apply_filters('the_title', $parent_title);?>"</a></h2>

<ul id="mininav">
<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list ("&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=$parent"); ?>
</ul>

CSS to style this:

/* Begin Mini Nav */

#mininav {
        padding: 8px;
        width: 150px;
        float: right;
        margin-left: 20px;
        margin-bottom: 8px;

}

#mininav li, #mininav ul {margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style: none;}

#mininav a {
        font-size: .8em;
        color: #222;
        text-decoration: underline;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininav a:hover {
        color: #600000;
        text-decoration: none;
}

#mininavnews a {
        font-size: .7em;
        color: #222;
        text-decoration: underline;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininavnews a:hover {
        color: #600000;
        text-decoration: none;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininav li.current_page_item a {
        color: #600000;
        text-decoration: none;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininav li ul {
        margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
        padding: 0px;
        list-style: none;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininav li ul li.page_item a {
        color: #000;
        text-decoration: underline;
        list-style: none;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

#mininav li ul li.page_item a:hover {
        color: #600000;
        text-decoration: none;
        margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important;
}

Hi all – I was able to take a number of the tactics that zurdog used, including his excellent explanation of the use of the get-meta plugins, to build this site, with the idea in mind of creating a highly-automated CMS for real estate agents that’s simple, easy to use, and operates in a blog format to take full advantage of RSS capabilities.

You can see it here: https://www.william-donovan.com/real/realtor

I think it definitely shows how far you can flex WordPress to work as a CMS.

You’ll notice I had to use multiple single-page templates and multiple comment-templates – To that end, I was able to turn WP’s comment interface into a mini-referral system in the back end (which works great because of the WHOIS data). For that I had to eliminate WP’s requirement of a message, but it was pretty easy to find.

I also used a pretty nifty hack I wrote for the fold_page plugin that creates a “kaleidoscopicing” effect for static-page navigation (if you’re wondering, I’ve also written this to work with “pretty” permalinks):

<?php
global $wp_query;

if( empty($wp_query->post->post_parent) ) {
$parent = $wp_query->post->ID;
$parent_title = $wp_query->post->post_title;
} else {
$parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;
$parent_title =
$wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_title FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $parent");
}
?>

<h2>

<li class=<?php if (empty($wp_query->post->post_parent ) )  { ?> "page_item current_page_item"<?php  } else { ?>"page_item"<?php } ?> >
<!--<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?> This is usually not necessary-->
<a href="?page_id=<?php echo apply_filters('the_title', $parent); ?>">
<?php echo apply_filters('the_title', $parent_title);?></a></li>
</h2>

<?php wswwpx_fold_page_list ("&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=&child_of=$parent"); ?>

Finally, I customized a number of plugins, especially the SEO all_in_one, search_everything, DD’s awesome contact form, site map, and AddSig plugins, the myGallery and myFlash plugins, the backup plugin, and of course, as I expect the several agents already lined up to use this template to do most of their own inputing of data, the fantastic custom_admin_menu, dashboard_management, and barruno_theme plugins.
