Roelof theres example I did for what you're looking for in that thread over therehttp://processwire.com/talk/topic/3868-pagearray-vs-explode/#entry37919

Thanks

I try to understand why this happens.

I have this :

<a href='{$page->next->url}'

But Pw makes this of it :

 <a href='{$page->next->url}'

When I delete the ' then also the layout is messed up.

See http://www.tamarawobben.nl

Only {$page->next->url} won't do anything you need php to echo out the variable. <?php ... ?> to let it know there's php code coming

<?php // open php tag
echo "<a href='{$page->next->url}'>$page->title</a>";
// end php tag ?> 

PHP will parse the {vars} if used inside double quoted "string" strings.

Or 

<a href="<?php echo $page->next->url;?>"><?php echo $page->title;?></a>

Or if server supports it there's a short notation

<?= $page->next->url ?>

Thanks . still no luck.

I have this tree :

homepage

children :  - Cities

                -  Architects

                - Search

But if I change page into siblings -> next or parent-next the url stays empty.

Also this :

<a href="<?php echo $sibling->first;?>" class="open-book">BOEK OPENEN</a>

is not working. On the source of the page I see then <a href=" " class="open book">BOEK OPENEN </a>

Found it myself.  page->child->url did the trick.

Hello,

I did this so another css file is used when im not on the FrontPage.

<?php
 
if ($page->id==1) { <link type="text/css" href="<?php 
echo $config->urls->templates?>styles/twentythings.css" 
rel="stylesheet" media="screen" /> }
 
if (!$page->id==1) { <link type="text/css" 
href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates?>styles/twentythings2.css" 
rel="stylesheet" media="screen" /> }
 
?>
 

But now I see a 500 error. What did I do wrong ?

Edit 1 : on the error.txt I see this message: Parse Error:     syntax error, unexpected '

Well, you have all sorts of issues with that code.. For one, you have nested PHP tags inside PHP tags...

Have a look at these http://devzone.zend.com/4/php-101-part-1-down-the-rabbit-hole/

What sort of text editor are you using (for your code)?

[roelof]

I do not use a php editor at the moment. I use the text editor of my ftp-server.

Can you recommend a good IDE.

And I have read it but I do not see what you mean with nested tags.

I use first a <php tag

Then a if with the then between two {}

and another if with also the then between two {}

and then the end tag.

Hello,

I have read the documentation but I still do not see the errors. I did a ; after each if line but no luck.

Anyone who can help me.

No offense roelof, but I think it would be wise to take a step back and do some php tutorials. You can drop the last ?>. You can't use php in php. See this example below how to fix it. Notice the {} around the variables and the single quotes in the double quotes.

For an editor I'm using Sublime Text 2. Don't edit php files in a textarea please

<?php
 
if ($page->id == 1) 
{ 
    echo "<link type='text/css' href='{$config->urls->templates}styles/twentythings.css' rel='stylesheet' media='screen' />";
}
