I think i can use template!

you can base on page names (use their slugs), or their parents and serve the content you want

Insert something like this in your template.php

Code:

<?php
if (return_page_slug()=='index') {
  echo 'Hello, this is the index page!';
}
?>

About checking parents... I hadn't realised there are return_parent() and get_parent() functions... they're not listed in the docs http://get-simple.info/docs/theme-codex/

[yojoe]

look at the functions located in common or theme functions files within admin/inc directory

with slugs and parents you can create conditionals you need.
The problem is with automating it seamlessly, when a user changes page name or create a new one. You could base on a prefix string in page name.

I added these 2 tags to the WIKI, but I ask to add a correct explanation, as I am not so firm in that!

This is an old thread and return_parent() was depreciated for v3.0.

There is phpdoc format help for get_parent() in admin/inc/theme_functions.php:

Code:

/**
* Get Page Parent Slug
*
* This will return the slug value of a particular page's parent
*
* @since 1.0
* @uses $parent
*
* @param bool $echo Optional, default is true. False will 'return' value
* @return string Echos or returns based on param $echo
*/

Thanks, Nick

I took off that one tag and added the explanation to the other one

Thanks!

Now that the source is all documented with phpdoc comments (V3.0+), it would be really nice to have phpDocumentor produce something – always up-to-date – for the wiki ...

There's a nice example at, ahem some other cms site.

Question for devs- could depreciated functions please be changed to generate a warning message when site is is in debug mode?

Version 3.1 Beta r525

Code:

<?php if (get_parent()=='slug'){ ?>

this conditional is not working but this

Code:

<?php if (return_parent()=='slug'){ ?>

works, even it's a depreciated function.

[Carlos]

By default get_parent() echoes the parent but does not return it.
The correct way would be:

Code:

<?php if (get_parent(false)=='slug'){ ?>

(BTW I use 0 instead of false, it's the same)
