I am trying to modify the function in wordpress that goes
<?php get_page( $page_id ) ?>
to actually get this page on my site, http://www.corbettcartoons.com/?page_id=63
but when I plug in page_id = 63; it takes me to a post numbered 138.
Do I have the page and post functions mixed up?
Thanks for any help or advice on this,
Paul
what is the code after the <?php $page_id = 63; get_page( $page_id ); ?>
did you follow the example in
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page
i.e. what are you using to show the page, title, content, etc ?

Yes, that link is where I got the example to do this.
My code in that section looks like this,
<div style="width: 278px; min-height: 215px; margin-right: 10px; float: left; background-color: #FFF; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px 10px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #F3DDAC;">
<span class="titles-boxes">
<?php get_a_post(145); ?>
<center><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php
echo get_cat_icon("link=false&echo=false&cat=20");
echo "<br />";
echo "</a>";
?>Right now it is set so when someone clicks on that box on the front page of the site, it goes to that post. I wanted to change it so it links to a certain page.
When I do <?php get_page( $page_id = 63); ?> instead of the get_a_post(145); line I still get a post.
Any thoughts on this?

ok, I think I got this backwards.. at least my explaination of what I wanted.
The code that I inserted was correct cause it pulled the info from that page and put it in that box...
What I wanted was the link to that page so I guess I need to know what to put on this line of code:
<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
thanks for any help or advice on this,
Paul
'get_a_post()' is not a default wordpress function. and the usage of 'get_post()' is described in the link a gave earlier.
however, to get the link to the page, try:
<div style="width: 278px; min-height: 215px; margin-right: 10px; float: left; background-color: #FFF; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px 10px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #F3DDAC;">
<span class="titles-boxes">
<?php $page_id = 63; ?>
<center><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($page_id); ?>"><?php
echo get_cat_icon("link=false&echo=false&cat=20");
echo "<br />";
echo "</a>";
?>there is actually no need for the code to use 'get_page()' - the change is in 'get_permalink($page_id);'

OK,
When I replace
<?php get_a_post(145); ?>
with
<?php get_page( $page_id = 63 ); ?>
The information from that page does not show in that box on the front page (books for sale). I get information from another page.
When I do the get_permalink($page_id); it links to post 138.
what am I doing wrong here?
When I replace
<?php get_a_post(145); ?>
with
<?php get_page( $page_id = 63 ); ?>
i thought i had answered that already:
'get_page()' does not do anything directly; follow the example for 'get_page()' in the docu: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page
<?php
$page_id = 63;
$page_data = get_page( $page_id );
$content = $page_data->post_content; // Get Content
echo $page_data->post_content; // Output Content
$title = $page_data->post_title; // Get title
?>When I do the get_permalink($page_id); it links to post 138.
have you set the variable $page_id before this code?
$page_id = 63;
echo get_permalink($page_id);maybe you could post your whole code again.

from what I read at that link I was under the impression that that code was to pull content from that page and place it right there. Am I wrong in understanding what that says.
As far as th permalink thing I think I did not set the variable that is why it is not working.

Here is the whole DIV that is called "Books for Sale" in that box on the front page at http://www.corbettcartoons.com.
<div style="width: 278px; min-height: 215px; margin-right: 10px; float: left; background-color: #FFF; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px 10px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #F3DDAC;">
<span class="titles-boxes">
<?php get_a_post(145); ?>
<center><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php
echo get_cat_icon("link=false&echo=false&cat=20");
echo "<br />";
echo "</a>";
?>
</center>
</span>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>I figured that the part that says the_content(); is what holds all the content for that box.
I tried putting in the variable $page_id =63 and then putting that in the the_content(page_id) but it did not pull the content.
Any other thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Paul
can you repeat with simple words what you are trying to have in this box?
i far as i understand:
a link to page 63 (linked cat icon);
and the content of page 63 (?)
based on this understanding, the code in your last reply could be modified to:
<div style="width: 278px; min-height: 215px; margin-right: 10px; float: left; background-color: #FFF; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 10px 10px; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #F3DDAC;">
<span class="titles-boxes">
<?php $page_id = 63;
$thispage = get_page($page_id); ?>
<center><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($page_id); ?>"><?php
echo get_cat_icon("link=false&echo=false&cat=20");
echo "<br />";
echo "</a>";
?>
</center>
</span>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
<?php echo apply_filters('the_content',$thispage->post_content); ?>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>

ok,
sorry, I tend to know what I want in my head and explain it different in words on the forums.
With that said, I got it working. LOL.. I basically wanted the content from wordpress page 63 inserted into that Books for Sale box on the front page.
I guess it finally sunk in after reading that doc, 20 times or so.
The only thing I want it to do now is link properly to that page.
In that part that href= part with the permalink() can I just put in page_id in there to link the header to that page?
Thanks so much for all your help with this,
Paul
