component only in child pages - Timbow - 2016-03-04
I have a site with two levels of navigation, so just parents and children. I want to insert a component at the bottom of all the child pages only, not the parents.
What's the conditional php I put in my template for that?

Hmm... There are numerous ways to do it.
You can identify the target page by slug for example:
Code:
if(get_page_slug(false) == 'ma_slug') {
// show component ...
}Or, simply check if the current page has a specific parent then show your component:
Code:
$parent = get_parent(false);
if(!empty($parent) && $parent == 'page_parents_slug') {
// show component ...
}Or generally, when the same rules apply to all child pages on entire template, you can see whether page has parent then show your component:
Code:
if(!empty(get_parent(false))) {
// show component ...

It's that last one I need, thanks but it is giving me -
Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /var/sites...
Just to be clear I have
PHP Code:
<?php if(!empty(get_parent(false))) { get_component('tagline')}; ?>RE: component only in child pages - Bigin - 2016-03-05
try this, that should do the trick:
Code:
$parent = get_parent(false);
if(!empty($parent)) {
// show component ...

For some reason I get the component on all pages with that. I can check the variable is empty with print $parent (and it is). Using
PHP Code:
<?php $parent = get_parent(false);
if(!empty($parent)) {get_component('disqus');} ?>RE: component only in child pages - Bigin - 2016-03-05

Because $parent is of type object, you should cast it to a string:
Code:
$parent = (string) get_parent(false);
if(!empty($parent)) {
...

Yes!
All working. Smashing. Thanks, mate.
