get nested pages

  • Hey all,
    I have been trying to find a way to return page information in order to create a landing page. I have done this with posts before to create a blog reel and would like to achieve the same overall result with pages with respect to parent elements

    The Scenario:
    I use a drop menu with pages created in the wordpress. Nesting the pages builds the menu.

    The Goal:
    I would like to get the subpages specific to the parent page. When a user navigates to the parent page I would like it to return links to the subpages with some page elements.

    Here is an example of how I have done this with posts:
    ‘ <?php
    global $post;
    $myposts = get_posts(‘numberposts=4&offset=news&category_name=news’);
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
    setup_postdata($post);
    ?>
    <div class=”sidebarpost_newsitem”>
    <div class=”sidebarpost_title”><h5><?php the_title();?></h5></div>
    <div class=”sidebarpost_excerpt”><?php the_excerpt(); ?></div>
    <div class=”sidebarpost_break”></div>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>’

  • have you looked into get_pages() with the ‘parent’ or ‘child_of’ parameters?

    Thanks for the codex, I’ve come across this already and have been fidling with this portion:

    <?php
        $mypages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');

        foreach($mypages as $page)
        {
            $content = $page->post_content;
            if(!$content) // Check for empty page
                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 would like to make it dynamic instead of defining a static page id, is it possible to return the children of THIS page?

    Sorry, I’m more of a html/css guy, php is not my strongest suit.
