Figured out a solution based on code samples found here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages
<?php
$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID); // selects all children of current page
foreach($pages as $page) {
$custom_blurb = get_post_meta($page->ID, 'custom_blurb', true); // grabs description from custom field
echo "<h3><a href=\"".get_page_link($page->ID)."\">$page->post_title</a></h3>";
echo $custom_blurb;
}
?>
Sage, did you ever get this resolved?
I need the same thing, except want to generate the list w/ description on an archive page.
Anybody?
Was there ever any resolution to this? I’m having the same problem. Need to get the current post category id.
Anyone?
