Navigation only for children 5-7

[lena]

Hallo, I need a little help!

I build my first processwire website and I don't know how I can choose die pageChildren on the position 5-7 

For the children 1-4 I coded for a mainnav and it works. Now I want to do this also for my topnav. But only with the children 5-7.

 

Code for mainnavigation:

 

       $root = $pages->get("/");
       $children = $root->children("limit=4");  //  I get the first 4 pages
       
       foreach($children as $child) {
            if($child->id == wire('page')->id) {
                echo "<li class='active'><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}<span class='sr-only'>(current)</span></a></li>";
            } else {
                echo "<li><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
            }    
       }

 

Thank you

Lena

Hi Lena,

If you update to the latest development build you can use the new limit features in your selector.

http://processwire.com/blog/posts/pw-3.0.46-stocking-stuffers/#support-for-negative-limit-and-start-values-in-selectors

$children2 = $root->children("limit=-2")

Notice the minus(-) before the 2.

Hope this helps!

Thank you grimezy,

i tried and I found another method to solve my problem: with slice()

 

       $root = $pages->get("/");
       $children = $root->children->slice(4, 3);
       
       foreach($children as $child) {
            if($child->id == wire('page')->id) {
                echo "<li class='active'><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}<span class='sr-only'>(current)</span></a></li>";
            } else {
                echo "<li><a href='{$child->url}'>{$child->title}</a></li>";
            }    
       }
