Parent submenu (list children on child page)

[bayerberg]

What's the quickest method of listing siblings of a static page? I have a static parent page and want to create a menu that shows only parent + child pages. Something like this
Parent
- childPage
- childPage
- childPage

aaand looks like i did it!

Code: Select all

<?php
	echo '<hr/><nav><ul>';
	$children = $page->parentMethod('children');
	foreach ($children as $child) {
		echo '<li>&raquo; <a href="'.$child->permalink().'">'.$child->title().'</a></li>';
	}
	echo '</ul></nav><hr/>';

?>

Hi,

A Bludit (v3.14) script for a bootstrap menu of the parents with dropdown of the child pages:

Code: Select all

echo '<div class="dropdown">';
    // Get the list of parent pages
    $parents = $staticContent;

    foreach ($parents as $parent) {
		if(!$parent->isChild() && $parent->hasChildren()) {
			echo '<a class="btn dropdown-toggle" href="#" role="button" id="dropdownMenuLink" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">';
        	echo $parent->title();
			echo '</a>';
		} else if ($parent->isParent()) {
			echo '<a class="btn" href="'.$parent->permalink().'">';
			echo $parent->title();
			echo '</a>';
		}
        // Check if the page has children
        if ($parent->hasChildren()) {
            // Get the list of children
            $children = $parent->children();

			echo '<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuLink">';
			echo '<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="'.$parent->permalink().'">';
			echo $parent->title();
			echo '</a></li>';
            foreach ($children as $child) {
				echo '<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="'.$child->permalink().'">';
                echo $child->title();
				echo '</a></li>';
				
            }
			echo '</ul>';
        }
    }
	echo '</div>';

Thanks to the help of the previous messages, here is a complete snippet that will show a menu of child pages, whether you are viewing the parent page or one of the child pages. If you are on a page that has no child pages, there is a link back to the blog.

This will be helpful to those who are making a book with chapters or a documentation page with sections.

Code: Select all

<?php
$parents = $content;
foreach ($parents as $parent) {

// If current page is a parent, and has children, list the child pages.
if ($parent->hasChildren()) {
     $children = $parent->children();
     echo '<a href="'.$parent->permalink().'">'.$parent->title().'</a>';
     echo '<br />';
     echo '<br />';	 
     echo 'Child Pages: <br/>';								
     foreach ($children as $child) {
          echo '&#9830 <a href="'.$child->permalink().'">'.$child->title().'</a>';
     }

// If current page is a child, list the children of the parent.			
} elseif  ($page->isChild()) {					
     echo '<a href="'.$page->parentMethod('permalink').'">'.$page->parentMethod('title').'</a>';	
     echo '<br />';
     echo '<br />';	 
     echo 'Child Pages: <br/>';
     $children = $page->parentMethod('children');
     foreach ($children as $child) {
          echo '&#9830; <a href="'.$child->permalink().'">'.$child->title().'</a><br/>';
     }	

// If the parent page has no children.
} else {
     echo '<a href="'.Theme::siteUrl().'">&#9754; Return to Blog</a>';
   }
}
?>
