I've actually managed to figure most stuff out but am currently stuck at this point.</p> <p>On my current theme I have a page with subpages under it. On the top level page I have a list of all the subpages. I hardcoded this onto a custom template using code I found on the codex, and it works great.</p> <p>I'm having a problem moving the code over to thematic.</p> <p>Here is the code on my current site, that works.</p> <pre><code><?php if($post->post_parent) $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); if ($children) { ?> <ul> <?php echo $children; ?> </ul> <?php } ?></code></pre> <p>On my current theme it only shows a list of the parent page and the children pages, but on thematic it shows a list of every page on my site?</p> <p>For thematic I wrote this code in functions.php</p> <pre><code>// Add child page list function childnav() { ?> <div id="articles"> <ul> <h2>Training Articles by Chris Krowchuk</h2> <?php if($post->post_parent) $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); if ($children) { ?> <ul> <?php echo $children; ?> </ul> <?php } ?> </ul> </div> <?php } add_action('thematic_belowpost', 'childnav');</code></pre> <p>What i would like to accomplish is to have this list of child pages only occur on pages that have children, or are children -> and to only show the parent and the children pages in the list. Is this possible without using and assigning a special page template to those pages? I'm not even sure how one would do that with thematic. </p>
