Hello PW Community, I'm currently creating a custom profile page that overrides the default template (using user.php file). I noticed however that when I tried to load user.php any calls I have to $homepage broke (my main navigation area). Here is the snippet that doesn't work on user.php, but works everywhere else: <!-- BEGIN SIDEBAR MENU ITEMS--> <ul class="menu-items"> <?php // top navigation consists of homepage and its visible children foreach($homepage->and($homepage->children) as $child) { echo "<li class=''><a href='". ($child->hasChildren() ? "javascript:;" : $child->url) ."'><span class='title'>$child->title</span>"; if($child->hasChildren()) { echo "<span class='arrow'></span></a>"; //loop through the top navigation child's children pages and output them as nested menu item foreach($child->children as $childitem) { echo "<ul class='sub-menu'>"; echo "<li class=''><a href='$childitem->url'>$childitem->title</a>"; echo "</a><span class='icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($childitem->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li></ul>"; } } //step back out and continue listing Homepage Children pages if($child->id == $page->rootParent->id) { echo "</a><span class='bg-success icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($child->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } else { echo "</a><span class='icon-thumbnail'>"; echo substr($child->title, 0, 2); echo "</span></li>"; } } ?> </ul> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> <!-- END SIDEBAR MENU --> it outputs a menu and works on all template pages except for user.php. *note that $homepage is defined in _init.php and is loaded before user.php as I left the append to default. Do I have to specifically tell _init.php to append to user.php template? // We refer to our homepage a few times in our site, so we preload a copy // here in a $homepage variable for convenience. $homepage = $pages->get('/'); The error I get is saying the issue is with the first foreach($homepage->and($homepage->children) as $child) line (93), but I thought it would be defined because user.php pulls in _init.php first?

($config->debug = true; => /site/config.php). Error has been logged. Any insight anyone could provide would be appreciated! Lots to learn when using ProcessWire but it's a solid CMS and I'm really enjoying developing on the platform. Regards, VirtuallyCreative
