Grandpa looking down his family tree

[heldercervantes]

Hi guys.

This is probably real easy and my headache is probably keeping me from thinking straight.

Take a products catalogue. The sections have multiple levels, 3 in my case. At the end of each branch there are products.

So when I'm at a top section, I want to display all products under all child sections, grandchild sections and so on. How do I reference this in the selector?

My only idea is to recursively check every child page down the tree where 'template=section' and slap each of them on the selector, but it seems wrong.

foreach($grandparent->find("template=product") as $product) { ... }

 should do the trick.

OF COURSE! I was searching from $pages and completely forgot you could do it from a $page.

Big thanks! Now excuse me while slap myself in the face for a moment.

You can do it from $pages as well, using the has_parent selector. It will match up the whole tree, not just the direct parent.

I can't believe I actually didn't know $page->find(). Nice one!

Here's an old thread and Ryan's response
 
A quick note for newbies....be careful not to invite the whole family ($page->find()) if you don't have enough room (memory)...you might need to limit numbers
