Displaying children of page with specific page id

  • I’m currently playing around with the page.php file to try and have it display certain information if the page has a specific title.

    I’ll try and explain what I’m trying to do.

    I was to create a ‘portfolios’ page in wordpress, which will then have a number of children pages underneath it. I want the portfolios page to display links to all the children pages as thumbnails. If the page is not the portfolios page I just want it to display as a standard page.

    I’m trying to figure out how to code this using something like:

    <?php if (is_page('Portfolios')) {
DISPLAY THUMBNAILS HERE
} else {
THE USUAL PAGE CODE HERE
} ?>

    In theory I think something like that should work. The two questions I have are 1. am I on the right track? and 2. how would I just display children of the ‘Portfolios’ page in the ‘DISPLAY THUMBNAILS HERE’ section I’ve blocked out above?

    Any advice/help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks. It’s not so much the thumbnail thing I’m having problems with, but more how to display the children of the page if the page has a specific title (eg. Portfolios).

    Look at Function_Reference/get_pages.

    I was thinking something like this, but can’t get it functioning:

    <?php if (is_page('Portfolios')) {
	$pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
	$count = 0;
	foreach($pages as $page)
	{
		$content = $page->post_content;
		if(!$content)
			continue;
		if($count >= 2)
			break;
		$count++;
		$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
	}	

} else {
		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
			<div class="entry">
				<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>

				<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

			</div>
		</div>
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
	<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
<?php } ?>

    I missed this before–but instead of playing around with the pages.php template, just create a template for Portfolios then you would just need something like this:

    <?php
//replace post_parent value with your portfolio page id:
    $args=array(
      'post_type' => 'page',
      'post_parent' => 93,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => -1,
      'caller_get_posts'=> 1
      );
    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    //echo "<pre>"; print_r($my_query); echo "</pre>";
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
      echo 'List of Child Page of Page ID 93';
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
        <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
        <?php
        global $more; $more = false;
        the_content('Read on....');
      endwhile;
    }
wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
?>
