$20
Create sidebar menu
I've a website where I mainly use pages, and there are 4 main pages, the rest are childs of those.
I want to display list of the childs in the sidebar depending on the page you are in.
I achieved to list them correctly by checking the ID using the code, but it only works in the parent page, I need it in the child page as well:
<ul>
<?php $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0'); if ($children) { ?>
<li class="widget">
<div class="title"><h5>Menu</h5></div>
<div class="content">
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
on the other side I also need to have listed some of the other pages, for example:
if you are on page with ID 1 or it's childs, it will list on top (of the sidebar) 10 of the childs of ID 1, followed by 5 of ID 2, 5 of ID 3, and 5 of ID 4; then if you are on page with ID 2 or it's childs, it will list on top 10 of the childs of ID 2, followed by 5 of ID 1, 5 of ID 3, and 5 of ID 4, and so on for the other IDs.
Is this possible, can someone help me here
thank you

Karl says:almost there
It's listing the childs of current correctly, but as for the others, it's showing all the other parent pages of the website, it should list parent and child of specific ID
coding speaking:
if in page or child of ID1238, display 10 items of ID1238, 5 of ID218, 5 of 186, and 5 of 11
and the same for the other IDs - 07/28/12 5:19pm
Martin Pham says:Is this the structure of your page(ID)?
•1238 (top page)
-- xx
-- xx
...
-- xx
• 218 (top page)
• 186 (top page)
• 11 (top page) - 07/28/12 5:23pm

now it's showing pages randomly.
Do you want me to send the link to the page by mail? - 07/28/12 6:08pm

3:40pmArnav Joy says:you have to slightly modified your function to display it on child pages as well
<ul>
<?php $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0'); if ($children) { ?>
<li class="widget">
<div class="title"><h5>Menu</h5></div>
<div class="content">
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul>
</div>
</li>
<?php } else { $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&echo=0'); ?>
<li class="widget">
<div class="title"><h5>Menu</h5></div>
<div class="content">
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
for the second point , please explain it more clearly- 07/28/12 3:53pm
Karl says:it works, but when in the child page it's listing all pages of the website, and not the pages related to parent page only
To clear: when Im in page ID1, it's listing the childs, if I'm in a child of ID 1, it should still show the same menu as in the parent
- 07/28/12 3:59pm
Arnav Joy says:paste this function in functions.php
<?php
//return the name of the top parent page base on a page_id
function getTopParentPostName($myid){
$mypage = get_page($myid);
if ($mypage->post_parent == 0){
return $mypage->post_name;
}
else{
return getTopParentPostName($mypage->post_parent);
}
}?>
then modify your original code as follows:-
<ul>
<?php $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.getTopParentPostName($post->ID).'&echo=0'); if ($children) { ?>
<li class="widget">
<div class="title"><h5>Menu</h5></div>
<div class="content">
<ul><?php echo $children; ?></ul>
</div>
</li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>

3:51pmspencert says:Personally, I'd take the lazy approach to this as opposed to writing code.
I'd install WooDojo and then it's sidebars manager.
I'd create the menus with the built in Wordpress menu's and control which menu appears on which page with the sidebar manager.
Done. No code, effective, easy to maintain and make changes to without a single line of code.
