Child and Parent pages...

[Jon]

Is there a way to get the name of a child page and display it on the parent page? I would also like to get the date the child page was created/edited and displayed on the parent page. Anyways of doing this? I've tryed all the functions listed on the getsimple site but they didnt do what I was hoping for.

My page structure:

Code:

Index (parent)
- post-1 (child)
- post-2 (child)
- post-3 (child)

Thanks

you would have to make your own functions. like listed in another thread about showing multiple inputs on one page. for the date...

in your templates functions.php or admin/inc/theme_functions.php

Code:

function get_content($page){  
            $path = "data/pages";
            $thisfile = @file_get_contents('data/pages/'.$page.'.xml');
            $data = simplexml_load_string($thisfile);
            echo stripslashes(htmlspecialchars_decode($data->content, ENT_QUOTES));;
    }
    
    function get_content_date($page, $i = "l, F jS, Y - g:i A"){
        global $TIMEZONE;
        
        $path = "data/pages";
        $thisfile = @file_get_contents('data/pages/'.$page.'.xml');
        $data = simplexml_load_string($thisfile);
        if ($TIMEZONE != '') {
            if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) {
                date_default_timezone_set($TIMEZONE);
            }
        }
        echo date($i, strtotime($data->date));
    }

Hey, thanks for the reply

I've added that to my functions.php file. What command in the template.php am I using to get the date of a child page?

Thanks.

get_content_date('page-name','date format goes here google php date for more info');

hey, it dosen't quite work yet.

The code ive used to inset the date in the template.php file are these:

Code:

<?php get_content_date('post-1','d M Y'); ?>
<?php get_content_date('post-2','d M Y'); ?>
<?php get_content_date('post-1','d M Y'); ?>

The output from this is the same for all three: 01 Jan 1970

not sure whats going on here...
