Hi
I’m trying to make my custom sidebar.php file for wordpress aware of what page it is beeing loaded on. You see, I want to add "sub links" when you click a category link so to speak. At this time the sidebar is made with normal links like this:
Code:Anyone know an easy way to do this?

You can easily manage this with widgets!
I use flexipages to set the parent / child links, you can have multiple instances of flexipage if you have more than one set of subpages. Then I use TS custom Widgets to control which widgets appear on which pages / posts / categories / archives etc. using conditional statements.
For me this was great because it eliminated the need to create custom templates calling custom sidebars etc. I found that to get messy in a hurry and difficult to manage changes.
Cheers!

I ended up using this code to display subpages:
Code:if (!is_category() && !is_archive() ) { if( $post->post_parent != 0 ){
// display subpages of my parent page
?>post_parent) ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to post_parent); ?>”>post_parent); ?>
-
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&echo=0&child_of=' . $post->post_parent);
if ($children) echo $children;
?>}else{ // display subpages of myself ?>
ID) ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to ID); ?>”>ID); ?>
-
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&echo=0&child_of=' . $post->ID);
if ($children) echo $children;
?>} } ?>
And it works well, if the page is a subpage, or has subpages then they get displayed. This can be changed how ever someone else wants to use it. But it’s worked well on a couple of wordpress sites now.
