Selector for all site pages?

[vwatson]

I'm trying to create a selector for find() that finds all pages in the site, except the hidden ones.

$matches = $pages->find("parent=/"); 

This works for all except a section I have with a "photos" page as the parent.

I use this find() to get the remaining pages.

$matches = $pages->find("parent=photos"); 

I tried several things to combine the two, but nothing worked.

Also why doesn't find("parent=/"); 

find the photo pages also?

I guess the photo pages are grandchildren of the root/home page, but is there a way to include them?

Okay, thanks. So I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. I actually like what I ended up doing. It allows me to group the sitemap into logical site sections.
