Sub page problem

  • Hi there,

    I want to do the following,

    if a user clicks on a page that is a sub-page of a top level parent page, then page.php should call a certain header. If the parent page is different then a different header is called.
    There are only two top level pages that I want this to happen on, so using the code from the codex page I tried this,

    <?php

if 	(is_page() || $post->post_parent=="65") {
	$subpagefix="/header-resources.php";
} elseif (is_page() || $post->post_parent=="221") {
	$subpagefix="/header-quickref.php";
} else {
	$subpagefix="/header.php" ; // Fall-through
}	

?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . $subpagefix ); ?>

    So this seems to work for the page 65, but subpages of page 221 call the header-resources.php.

    What have i done wrong?

    Fixed it,

    the key was removing the “” around the page number.

    This code works now,

    <?php

if 	(is_page() || $post->post_parent==65) {
	$subpagefix="/header-resources.php";
} elseif (is_page() || $post->post_parent==221) {
	$subpagefix="/header-quickref.php";
} else {
	$subpagefix="/header.php" ; // Fall-through
}	

?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . $subpagefix ); ?>

    I use the ClassyBody Plugin to display different Headers or styles … You only have to insert this piece of code into your template (for the body-tag)

    <?php if(function_exists('classybody')) {?>
<body class="<?php classybody(); ?>">
<?php } else { ?>
<body>
<?php } ?>

    And in the page you want to display differently you add a custom field named classybody and give it a name.. e.g. “blue”

    Then you only have to edit you style.css like that…

    body.blue header{
	color: #blue;
        other syles blah blah;
}

    This allows you to create as many different styles as you like!!!
    Maybe this helps…

    This is the definitive fix which allows sub-sub pages to also call the right header.

    Makes use of the fold_page_list plugin.

    <?php
//this code uses fold_page_list plugin to generate array of ancestor pages and sets grandparent as top level page
$g_page_id = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
$ancestorIDs = _wswwpx_page_get_ancestor_ids($g_page_id);
$grandParent = $ancestorIDs[1];

?>
<?php
//this code keeps lavalamp on the correct parent page when viewing a subpage, add elseif for other top level pages as appropriate
if      ($grandParent==65) {
        $subpagefix="/header-resources.php";
} elseif ($grandParent==221) {
        $subpagefix="/header-quickref.php";
}
else  $subpagefix="/header.php"

?>

<?php  include (TEMPLATEPATH . $subpagefix);  ?>
