How should I approach problems like this one, and still maintain upgrade compatibility. ap0019er on "WP + Thematic best approach" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/wp-thematic-best-approach#post-9439 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 22:21:56 +0000 ap0019er 9439@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ In the project-page.php template I add this part (to add the menu). In the subsection-page.php I add something similar that works with the page parent (since I need to get the siblings of the project to create the menu in the subpages). <pre><code><?php $pages = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_order=ASC'); if ($pages) { echo '<ul id="proj-nav">'; $fist_section_name = __(strval(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'first_section', true))); echo '<li>'.$fist_section_name.'</li>'; foreach($pages as $page) { ?> <li><?php if ($page->ID == $post->ID): ?> <?php echo $page->post_title ?> <?php else: ?> <a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a> <?php endif; ?> </li> <?php } echo "</ul>"; } ?></code></pre> In every other respect, the custom templates look like the original page.php.

Looks like a great tool. I’m not sure however about how to approach my Wordpress implementation, while maintaining compatibility with future Thematic updates. I need to create a hierarchal Page (cannot use categories since I need some custom fields there) based navigation which is essential composed of 3 layers: Top of the hierarchy – Domain pages (the navigation menu is composed of these), second level – Projects, third level – Project subsections. The project pages and project subsections pages require to contain a Subsection navigation within that project. Now, in order to accomplish this I created two custom page templates for each type of page (project and subsection) and put them in the child theme directory. Within them I added the php code required to create the project navigation. Is this right? Won’t this kinda destroy the idea of upgrade compatibility (if the page.php file – on which the custom templates are based – changes in thematic future upgrades)? Should I have done this differently? (maybe using the child theme function.php file – dunno how however).
