   Hi,

   I have the following page structure:
   Page 1
   Page 2
   ---Page 2.1
   ---Page 2.2
   Page 3

   And what I want to achieve is put a menu in the sidebar to list the subpages of the current page, so if I am on page 2 I should list pages 2.1 and 2.2 but I cant get my code to work.

   In other themes I have used I can just use:
   wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID);

   but with thematic $post is always empty so it is generating pretty much a sitemap instead of a menu. My code is this:

   function wa_primary_aside()
   {

   echo thematic_before_widget_area('primary-aside');
   wp_list_pages( 'title_li=&child_of=' . $post->ID );
   echo thematic_after_widget_area('primary-aside');
   }

   add_action('widget_area_primary_aside', 'wa_primary_aside', 10);

   Any help is appreciated.

   Thanks

   don't know if you resolved this, but i am using Menus Plus+ in conjunction with Widget Context. I create the menu in Menus Plus+, then put its corresponding widget into the sidebar... and control what pages it shows on w/ Widget Context.

   If not this works to display child pages as a list in a widget area.
   The code can be pasted into an aside inside a PHP Code widget

   <?php
   // this actually works in thematic for listing child pages
   // the key is defining global $post
   //after that most of the wp_list_pages from the codex work
   global $post;
   ?>
   <?php
     $children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0');
     if ($children) { ?>
     <ul>
     <?php echo $children; ?>
     </ul>
     <?php } ?>
