Way to get List of all the Pages in a plugin?

[juliancc]

I need to list all the pages available in the plugin page I'm creating.

I was wondering if there is a method available that will return an array with all the pages?.

Thanks!

menu_data(), maybe, otherwise I don’t think there is any function. Or you could check how pages.php lists all pages?

I tried menu_data() and breaks the code. As you suggested I went to the pages.php and looked at how it lists the pages there. I ended up copying some code and turned it into a function:

Code:

function getPages()
{
    $path         = GSDATAPAGESPATH;
    //display all pages
    $filenames = getFiles($path);
    $count="0";
    $pagesArray = array();
    if (count($filenames) != 0) {
        foreach ($filenames as $file) {
            if (isFile($file, $path, 'xml')) {
                $data = getXML($path .$file);
                $status = $data->menuStatus;
                //$pagesArray[$count]['title'] = $data->title;
                $pagesArray[$count]['title'] = html_entity_decode($data->title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
                $pagesArray[$count]['parent'] = $data->parent;
                $pagesArray[$count]['menuStatus'] = $data->menuStatus;
                $pagesArray[$count]['private'] = $data->private;
                if ($data->parent != '') {
                    $parentdata = getXML($path . $data->parent .'.xml');
                    $parentTitle = $parentdata->title;
                    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $parentTitle .' '. $data->title;
                } else {
                    $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $data->title;
                }
                $pagesArray[$count]['url'] = $data->url;
                $pagesArray[$count]['date'] = $data->pubDate;
                $parentTitle = '';
                $count++;
            }
        }
    }
    
    return $pagesArray;
}

I think if you guys include this into a global/common functions, then It can be useful for other plugin developers.

That’s pretty much the content of menu_data(), are there any errors that could give an indication of why menu_data() breaks your plugin? Maybe menu_data() is not accessible on the admin-pages and we should make it accessible…

I Get Fatal error: Call to undefined function menu_data() in .....

Yeah it would be great if such a function could be available in the admin pages.. Not sure if I would want to call it menu_data(), I would think get_pages() or get_available_pages() more suitable.

Thanks for all your help!
