newbie Question

[bbeer]

Hi all

I have a newbie question concerning the listing of some child element in an overview. It all works well as long as I have only sub category.

In one case I am getting a level deeper, so I only get the first child listet.

like

trip Overview (Listing all trips)

       Flying (Lists all children of Lying

       Biking (Lists all Children ob biking)

       Holidays (should list the content of its children's children but does not)

               Italy

                     child 1

                     child 2

               Spain

                     child 1

               Croatia

                     child 1

See my code below.

   

<?php 
$p_id = $page->id;

$reisen = $page->find("parent_id=$p_id, sort=reise_abfahrt");

//gets the ID of the page I am on and lists the children

echo "id: $p_id";
?>

<dl class="travelList">
<?php
foreach ($reisen as $reise) { ?>
   
     <dt><a href="<?php echo $reise->url;?>" title="Detailansicht" class="tripDetail"><?php echo $reise->reise_abfahrt;?>   <?php echo $reise->longtitle; ?></a></dt>
      <?php
if($reise->reise_flyer != ""){
?>
<dd class="tripRoute">
<a href="<?php echo $reise->reise_flyer->url;?>" title="Flyer als PDF laden" target="_blank" class="tripFlyer">Flyer</a></dd>
<?php
}?>
   
   <?php } ?>
</dl>
 

Is there any way I could handle this in the same template as above or do I have to create a special template only for the listing of Holidays?

Your help is much appreciatetd.

$p_id = $page->id !== (hollidays id) ? $page->id : $page->children;
 

 Written on the browser and not tested, but theoretically this should work. This is what it does:

If we are not on the "hollidays", page parent is this same page, if we are on the "hollidays" page, parents will be all it's children ( $page->children will output something like this: 342|654|877|998 )

thanks a lot, perfect!

bbeer, I was in a hurry and didn't explain something. You don't have to use the IDs in this case. Same thing could be achived by:

$parents = $page !== $page->get('/holidays/') ? $page : $page->children;

and, in the selector;

$reisen = $page->find("parent=$parents, sort=reise_abfahrt");

Just for reference

thanks, that really helps.

Need to get used to pw as soon as possible.

I really have another question on this now.

I have some id's in the same three I would have to hide from this list, lets say 1031 and 1032 how could I do this?

[adrian]

Just include this in your selector:

id!=1031|1032

eg:

$reisen = $page->find("parent=$parents, id!=1031|1032, sort=reise_abfahrt");

Be sure to check out the selector test module from Nik - very helpful in figuring these things out:
