Description-

This snippet was designed to show all child pages, or siblings if there are no children pages, with or without descriptions, in a list. If is configurable in a multitude of ways to allow you to define how you want unpublished folders and so forth to impact the presentation of the menu.

I'll be keeping a changelog and the current version of this snippet in this post. The changelog is mostly for myself - but if others are curious, they can witness the evolution (or is it insanity) themselves.

I'll test it right now, I already like the idea

I'll give you some feedback once I have played a little with it... anyway, Thanks !

[Dr. Scotty Delicious]

cool.  Does it now respect the "Show in Menu" check box?

[jaredc]

Indeed it does. Aside from changing $etomite-> objects to $modx-> objects, I integrated a check for hidemenu (show in menu checkbox).

[Dr. Scotty Delicious]

I get this error:

« Execution of a query to the database failed - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'hidemenu=0AND hidemenu=0 AND (sc.privateweb=0) ORDER BY s »

Any ideas what is causing that?

[jaredc]

Yes. As a matter of fact I do. It's a bug in one of the API functions. It's fixed for the next release... though I know that doesn't help you now

You could wait for the next release or read the bug tracker for the fix.

Nice work Jared I am using this a lot
Are you also planning to confert the rest of your awsome snippets?

[jaredc]

Slowly but surely yes. I am planning to convert (and upgrade where possible) many of my snippets. Some changes will be minor, some will be quite extensive. Stay tuned!

[Dr. Scotty Delicious]

Yo jaredc!

thanks a lot.  I replaced those lines of code in the document parser class and now LCOS has retaken the throne as Scotty D's most favorite-est snippet ever!!!

thanks again

[jaredc]

Wow. Favorite-est snippet. I think that's the highest award I've ever won for a snippet. Thank YOU!

I'm not the world's most experienced code hacker, so I hope you'll excuse this question. Is there a way to order the list by menu id instead of alphabetically?

Thanks,
Duane

Okay, never mind. LOL. I just had to add id ASC to the front of the ordering list. Doh! Great snippet, btw. The perfect solution for my need!

[jwtyler]

I know this may sound insane but I need LCOS to IGNORE the show in menu check box.  The reason is I have a general site menu on left side and a dept specific menu on right menu. With documents not to appear in left menu using unchecked show in menu to filter.  Is this possible with an option? I read the code to try to hack the show in menu check out...  no luck. my php is bad.


edit - Ah, I need to clarify. This is in a template call. So that users can have a template to apply to a folder where children of that folder are listed in the right menu, but not in the site wide left menu.


Any help thanks...

Hi jaredc and thanks for this snippet

I just need a new configuration setting : I would show on the same page all of the children pages AND all of their respective children like this :

• Element 1 (first child of main section)
  
  • First child of the Element 1
  • Second child of the Element 1
  • Third child of the Element 1
  • Fourth child of the Element 1
• Element 2 (first child of main section)
  
  • First child of the Element 2
  • Second child of the Element 2
• Element 3 (first child of main section)
  
  • First child of the Element 3
  • Second child of the Element 3
  • Third child of the Element 3

Is it possible to develop this setting ?
Thanks

You could use Wayfinder for that

[Spheerys]

You're right
I will use Wayfinder
