Sub-Navigation Menu

[RobA]

Sorry for the thread necromancy.

I want to know if there are sub-pages to a page. Typically these subpages would NOT be in the menu tree.

I'd like a function: get_child_slugs('page-slug')

that returns an array of child page slugs or null so I could for-each through them and build a menu (after content) listing all the child pages.

I see the code here should do this (or is close). Do I have to implement it as a plugin or can I just include this stuff in a custom functions.php?

I don;t know how correct it is to respond to myself, but I figured I'd post the code I went with. I put the following function in my functions.php file of my theme:

Code:

function return_child_data()
{
  $slug=return_page_slug();    
  $path="data/pages/";
  $data='';
  
  $count=0;
  $morderArray = array();
  if (is_dir($path))
  {
      if ($dh = opendir($path))
      {
         while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
         {
             if($file!="." AND $file!=".." AND $file!=".htaccess")
                {
                    $pathtofile="$path$file";            
                    $da = @fopen($pathtofile,"r");
                    $data=getXML($pathtofile);  
                    if ($data->parent != '')
                        {
                if (strcasecmp($data->parent, $slug) == 0)
                {        
                $node=$data->children();
//print_r($node);
                $morderArray[$count]['slug'] = (string)$node->url;
                $morderArray[$count]['title'] = (string)$node->menu;
                $count++;
                 }    
                        }
            @fclose($da);
                }
         }  
         closedir($dh);
      }
  }

  return($morderArray);
}

And use this in a page template php code chunk like so:

Code:

$subpagelist = return_child_data();
foreach($subpagelist as $subpage) {
  echo $subpage['slug']; // echos the subpage slug string you can use/append as a URL
  echo $subpage['title']; // echos the subpage title string you can use a a label
}
