Loop to show child pages?

    Hi all, hoping someone can help me with that is probably really simple…

    …I am still on the learning curve with developing wordpress themes!

    After searching forum posts and the docs/plugins etc for a while I was unable to find a way of running a loop on a parent page that shows child page information. I am developing a portfolio+blog site and would like to keep the two halves of the site seperate (rather than having a portfolio post category).

    As it stands just now I have a parent page called portfolio and child-pages for each client details page. I would like to create a loop to grab the title, and the content up to a <!–more–> tag.

    I will continue to dig through the docs and stuff, but hopefully one of helpful people in here can point me in the right direction! It’s not that fancy, I wouldn’t have thought a plugin would be required, is it?

    Regards,

    Gordon

    Progress update…

    I find a loop in the docs and butchered it slightly, I now have the following, but it is showing full posts(pages) rather than just up to the <!–more–> tag, and the links have the blog url inserted twice…

    <?php if (is_page('portfolio')){?>
		<div class="post">
			<?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;
		        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 }?>
		</div>
	<?php };?>

    Any ideas how I can polish this up a little??
