output <?php get_parent(); ?> without hyphen in template

[Connie]

I need a hint how to omitt hyphen in parent ..

example:

I have a first level page "my cats"
Slug/URL is "my-cats"

Now I have a second-level-navigation in the sidebar and want to repeat the parent, like category
before the submenu

unfortunately

Code:

<?php get_parent(); ?>

outputs "my-cats" instead of "my cats"

what can I do to omitt this?

I found a solution with Jquery:

using a jquery plugin, from http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-repl...t-plugin/, I added that code to my template:

Code:

<h2 id="replace"><?php get_parent(); ?></h2>
    <script type="text/javascript">
            $(function() {
    $("#replace").replaceText( "-", " " );  
            });
        </script>

but maybe there is a solution without additional jquery plugin?

Cheers, Connie

Just PHP:

Code:

<h2 id="replace"><?php echo str_replace('-',' ',get_parent(false)); ?></h2

[Connie]

yes, that is a better solution, so I don't need an additional Jquery script

but: this was my first start with Jquery, not only integrating scripts, but using it for my own purpose, so I learned!

I will include the php, thank you!

I had the same problem - but im not very happy with your solution.
You mix up URL-Slugs with navigational elements.

I tried to get the Title/Menutext of the parent page with menu_data() as following:

Code:

# output page_slug for toplevel menu entries and parent_slug for sublevel items

#get parent Title via menu_data()
$parentdata  = menu_data(get_parent(false));

# check if PARENT title exists (>0)
if ( strlen($parentdata['title']) > 0 )
    {
    # show parent menu_text or fallback to title (as menu_text seems empty if same as title)
    if (strlen($parentdata['menu_text'])>0) {echo $parentdata['menu_text'];} else {echo $parentdata['title'];}
    }
    else
        {
        # or show CURRENTPAGE menu_text/title
        $seite = return_page_slug();
        $pagedata = menu_data($seite);
        if (strlen($pagedata['menu_text'])>0) {echo $pagedata['menu_text'];} else {echo $pagedata['title'];}
        }

this is doing what i want - but is there an easier way to get parent-element infos?
(sth. like "is_child" or "is_parent" would be quite helpful)

Using GS 3.1's new getPageField function:

Code:

<?php get_parent(0)!='' ? getPageField(get_parent(0),'title') : get_page_title();?>

displays parent title or current page title.

Let's say, on the main navigation I want to create a menu:
-Tutorial
-- GetSimple CMS
-- Wordpress

In the sidebar, I want create a child menu block:
GetSimple CMS : (title header)
-- Plugins (link)
--- How To Install Plugins (link)

Question: how to make the title child menu remain at "GetSimple CMS" even if a user is accessing the "How to Install Plugins"?
Please help and sorry for my english
