Conditional statement IF OR

[Peter Knight]

Hi guys

I have something working and I'm not sure it's the most efficient API usage. 

I want to display some content if the page is Vets or any sub page below Vets.

My tree structure looks like this:

Home
Doctors
Vets (ID 1116)
 - Vets sub page 01
 - Vets sub page 02
 - Vets sub page 03
 - - Vets sub sub page 01
 - - Vets sub sub page 02
 - Vets sub page 04
Pilots
Gardeners

My working code is:

<?php

if  
	(
	$page->matches('id=1116') // Page is Vets Overview
	||   // OR
	$page->parent->matches('id=1116')  // Parent Page is Vets Overview
	)

	{
	echo "My conditional content";
	}

?>

Thanks

I probably miss something and won't go through a selector for that purpose:

<?php

if  
	(
	($page->id == 1116) // Page is Vets Overview
	||   // OR
	($page->parent->id == 1116)  // Parent Page is Vets Overview
	)

	{
	echo "My conditional content";
	}

?>

Any reason to use the same template for the overview and its children?

Also see $page->rootParent

if($page->rootParent->id === 1116) {
	echo "My conditional content";
}
