Add a ‘Read More’ link to the get_pages loop

  • the Codex offers this great bit of code to loop through the child pages of the parent and show the page title and page contents:

    <?php
	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
	$count = 0;
	foreach($pages as $page)
	{
		$content = $page->post_content;
		if(!$content)
			continue;
		$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
	?>
		<h2><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a></h2>
		<div class="entry"><?php echo $content ?></div>
	<?php
	}
?>

    I can’t figure out how to add a ‘Read More…’ link to the_content, as the code above is adding the_content to the apply_filters function, and echoing out $content. Any ideas?

    Any chance this one slipped through the cracks?

    Hi

    I have the same problem. I will be very grateful if someone can answer that.

    Thanks.

    Ok I finally found the answer so I post here :

    <?php query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'page',  'post_parent' => '2', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC' )); ?>
	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Lien permanent vers <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
				<div class="entry">
					<?php the_content('Lire la suite &raquo;'); ?>
				</div>
			</div>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<h2 class="center">Introuvable</h2>
		<p class="center">Désolé, mais vous cherchez quelque chose qui ne se trouve pas ici.</p>
		<?php get_search_form(); ?>

	<?php endif; ?>

    looks like you forgot one thing. the global $more.

    <? global $more; ?>
<? $more = 0; ?>

    Thanks both of you man!

    This is my final code after your help:

    <?php
$i = 0;
$count = 3;
global $more;
$more = 0;
$parent_page_id = 1092;
query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'page',  'post_parent' => $parent_page_id, 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'DESC' ));
if (have_posts()) : ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	<div class="grid_4 <?php if($i % $count == 0) echo 'alpha';else if(($i+1) % $count == 0) echo 'omega';?>">
		<?php
		if ((function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail())){ ?>
		<div class="post-img">
			<a title="<?php get_the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" ><?php the_post_thumbnail('service-img');?></a>
		</div>
		<?php } ?>
		<h3 class="post-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
		<div class="post-content"><?php the_content('Read more &rarr;'); ?></div>
	</div>
	<?php
	$i++;
	endwhile;
endif;
?>

    Is the code above limited to display the subpages/children of the indicated parent_page_id (1092)?

    I wish to display all my current Parent pages.

    This code just displays subpages deathski

    I see. How can I modify this query to get all the parent pages instead of posts? Newbie here.

    query_posts($query_string . "&showposts=$post_number&paged=$paged&cat=$cat");

    query_posts($query_string . "&post_parent=0&showposts=$post_number&paged=$paged&cat=$cat");

    Thanks but it still returns my posts and not pages.

    gxlrygt

    (@gxlrygt)

    did you try to add 'post_type' => 'page' ?

    query_posts($query_string . "&post_parent=0&post_type=page&showposts=$post_number&paged=$paged&cat=$cat");

    or

    query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'page', 'post_parent' => 0, 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'DESC' ));
