Getting the ID From The Pages with wp_list_pages

  • I want the user to be able to exclude pages from the navigation bar by simply ticking them off.

    I’ve created a list off all the menu items with a checkbox next to them like this: 

    echo "<form method='POST' action=''>";
wp_list_pages(array("link_before" => "<input type='checkbox' name='radio' value='$post_id' />", "title_li" => ""));
echo "<input type='submit' name='radio_submit' />
</form>";

    Now I need to be able to somehow have the page id inside the value of the checkbox. So when the user hits submit then the page id’s get inserted into the $exclude variable in the navigation bar so the pages get excluded.

    Any ideas how I can fetch the id’s from the generated list of navi items in the admin panel?

    I figured that the wp_list_pages function has a $current_page variable.

    Is there any way I could fetch it out of it?

    global $wp_query;
		if ( is_page() || is_attachment() || $wp_query->is_posts_page )
			$current_page = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();
		$output .= walk_page_tree($pages, $r['depth'], $current_page, $r);

    I managed to do it this way by following an example in the documentation: 

    <form method='POST' action=''>
<select name="page-dropdown">
 <option value="">
<?php echo attribute_escape(__('Select page')); ?></option>
 <?php
  $pages = get_pages();
  foreach ($pages as $pagg) {
  	$option = '<option value="'. $pagg->ID .'">';
	$option .= $pagg->post_title;
	$option .= '</option>';
	echo $option;
  }
 ?>
</select>
<input type='submit' name='drop_submit' />
</form>
