Cliff – I’m rather unclear about what you’re trying to do. This plug-in starts with the top level page and “works down” from there, although you can always refine that a bit further using the CSS classes.

If you’re trying to put the navigation in code, you can use the simple_section_nav function documented in the write up.

As a general rule, by the way, I really advise against using the “exec php” plug-in.

This is great, I want to implement this into a page that shows only siblings/grandchildren. How do you get this to work in a sub page (I already have EXEC php plugin installed), I’m not super great with the php syntax

Just what I needed, after much searching. Thank you!

Whoops. Never mind. I see you’ve already thought of this and included it in the plug-in. Great job!

Very, very nice. Brilliant in fact. Something else that might be helpful to this system would be to wrap the sect_title in an to its permalink. Again, beautiful solution.

I was actually able to solve my problem with the “Exclude Pages” plugin… just FYI for anyone else looking for a solution too.

Thanks again for the help Jake!

Jake: That gets me part of the way… I need to test for the level it’s on (so 3rd level aka grandchild) and then only display the 2nd level (aka child) pages. How can I edit the if/else statement to add a third option for this 3rd level down?

Thanks!

Sean – the short answer is yes. You can get the parent page with get_post($post->post_parent) and siblings (without self) with get_pages(‘parent=’.$post->post_parent.’&exclude=’.$post->ID)

Alright, so your solution seems awesome and gets me about 75% of the way to my goal… here’s the question I have:

I have PARENTS, CHILDREN, and GRANDCHILDREN. I have my site correctly displaying what I want on CHILDREN (just siblings), but on GRANDCHILDREN I want just the immediate parent page (CHILD) and that page’s siblings (CHILDREN) displayed.

Is there a way to exclude the current page and it’s siblings from the array if it’s a GRANDCHILD?

Thanks!
