PHP dynamic linking

    Hey everyone – So I’m brand new to WP, but I have a little tiny bit of PHP experience. Previously when I would hand code my site, I would use something like “?page=” so that I could have the link URL get passed a page name to load the content – if that makes sense.

    What I’m trying to do in WP is use a set of links in my sidebar that will load different content depending on which page I am on. I have 5 pages on my top navbar, and each one of those has an identical set of “internal” links. I want to point the links on the left nav par to something like http://www.perekl.com/%page-name%/fundraising so that if I am on page 1 and I click fundraising I get taken to the fundraising content that belongs with subpage 1.

    I hope this makes sense, I’m sure there is an easy way to do it that I am missing.

    I can’t seem to find the right spot in the code to modify this, and the admin tool doesn’t seem to have the capability.

    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Perek

    I have the plugin but I can’t seem to figure where the code is I need to modify. I just need to set the current page (I see in sidebar.php that they have defined $current_page) as a built in part of the URL. Anybody know how to do that in WordPress?

    Thanks!
