Using Get Pages for Page List

    wp_list_pages doesn’t allow for you to display the author, so I am trying to get the same effect with get_pages.

    However, the php code I’m using keeps getting one argument wrong.

    At the end of the foreach loop I set the term $previous_page using page_title and then at the beginning of the next loop, that value disappears.

    <?php
					$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
					$count = 0;
					$ulcount = 0;
					$previous_parent = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
					$previous_page = $page->post_title;
					foreach($pages as $page)
					{
						$parent_page = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
						if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page = $parent_page)
							{
								echo '<br />';
								echo $previous_page;
								echo ' (previous_page) equals ';
								echo $parent_page;
								echo ' (parent_page)<ul>';
								$ulcount++;
								echo $ulcount;
							}
						$content = $page->post_content;
						if(!$content)
							continue;
						$count++;
						$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
					?>
						<li>
						<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a> (parent: 	<?php
							$parent_title = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
							echo $parent_title;
							?>)</li>
					<?php
					if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page != $parent_page)
						while($ulcount > 0)
							{
								echo '</ul>';
								$ulcount--;
							}
					$previous_parent = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
					$previous_page = $page->post_title;
					echo 'previous_page = ';
					echo $previous_page;
					}
				?>

    Let me know if you have any progress.

    $parent_page = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page = $parent_page)

    in that second line:
    && $previous_page = $parent_page
    is actually not as intended a comparison if these are the same ( that would be == ) but is setting the variable $previous_page to the value of $parent_page.

    so, these two lines should read:

    $parent_page = get_the_title($page->post_parent);
if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page == $parent_page)

    Hi all,

    I’ve managed to make get pages work for listing a page, however, if there are more than one child page at the same level and one of them has children of its own it will cut off. E.g.:

    + Level one
    -+ Level two
    -+ Level two
    –+ Level three
    —+ Level four
    + Level three

    Here’s the code. Any help is much appreciated:

    <?php
	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=DESC');
	$count = 0;
	$ulcount = 0;
	$previous_previous_parent = 0;
	$previous_parent = $page->post_parent;
	$previous_page = $page->ID;
	foreach($pages as $page)
	{
		$parent_page = $page->post_parent;
		if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page == $parent_page)
			{
				echo '<ul>';
				echo $ulcount++;
			}
		if($previous_parent != $parent_page && $previous_page != $parent_page)
			while($ulcount > 0)
				{
					echo '</ul>';
					echo $ulcount--;
				}
		$content = $page->post_content;
		if(!$content)
			continue;
		$count++;
		$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
	?>
		<?php if($ulcount == 0) echo '<hr />'; ?><li>
		<a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a> by <!--<?php echo get_userdata($page->post_author)->user_url; ?>--> <?php echo get_userdata($page->post_author)->display_name; ?> — <?php
		if (get_post_custom_values('Character', $page->ID)==TRUE)
			{
		  $mykey_values = 	get_post_custom_values('Character', $page->ID);
		  foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
		    echo $value;
			echo ', ';
		  }
}
		?><?php echo mysql2date('D, M j, Y H:i a', $page->post_date);  ?></li>
	<?php
	$previous_previous_parent = $previous_parent;
	$previous_parent = $page->post_parent;
	$previous_page = $page->ID;
	}
?>
