Help with list_page function
-
Hello,
I am trying to create a navigation menu for my sidebar. I would like the list to display all top-level pages by default. If there are sub-pages for the current page, I would like to display those also.
For example, assume the home page is the current page; the list of pages should appear like:
Home
About
ServicesIf the about page is the current page, the list should only show the subpages of that specific page, as in:
Home
About
Company Bio
ServicesCan anyone help? I would like to achieve this without use of plugins. My dilemma is how to “break” the generation of the top-level list in order to create the child-level list. Once the child level list is created, the routine should continue parsing all other top-level pages.
Pseudocode example:
// Start creating a list of all top-level pages
// Determine if the current page has children
// If yes, create a nested list of child pages, then continue
// Else, continue creating list of all top-level pagesAny help would be incredibly useful. Thanks.

The GUI didn’t properly nest my list…I would like the list (with child pages) to appear like:
Parent
Parent
>>Child
>>Child
ParentTry this:
List subpages codeThanks for the advice, but the suggested code only ended up listing all subpages if you were already on a subpage. If you are on a top level page, no links appear.
I am trying to make the function recursive, with two loops…one for all top-level pages, and another one that interrupts to check for children. If there are children, the inner loop creates a list of them. The end result should look like:
<ul>
- Top-Level Page 1
<li>Top-Level Page 2 (Current Page)</li>
<li>Current Page Child Page 1</li>
- Current Page Child Page 2
</ul>
- Top-Level Page 3
<li>Top-Level Page ...</li>
In all cases, I would like the top-level pages to appear, and only the child pages for the current page. Such a seemingly simple problem is giving me quite a headache!
Thanks to all who will offer help.
Hmm…this web interface is a little hard to use. I am trying to obtain the following:
Parent unordered list
Parent list item 1
Parent list item 2 (current page, has child pages)
Child unordered list
Child list item 1
Child list item 2
Parent list item 3
Parent list item …I would suggest reading the information at this link:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
… to get an idea for creating page templates; then, incorporate the information from this page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages
… to create your menu for each specific page template you created.
Hope that helps point you in the right direction …
Yes. Now I understand. What you want seems to be standard wordpress. You’ll just have to use the template-tag right and style your list fancy.
Cais, how can you make your name clickable and redirectable to an URL?
@gimliglider – scroll to the top of the page and click on “View your profile”; then, click on edit and fill in the details.
I believe your user name becomes a link once you add in your web site link …
Cais I’ve been trying to do it for decades but it never worked. I tried it just now but it didn’t work. anyways thanks for replying
@gimliglider – it might have to do with my login for the codex, or maybe the extend sections, I do not recall my username originally linking … then again, sometimes I am not the most observant *grins*
