How to link to a pages child automaticly from page defults

Permalink
Hi there

I have the lastest version on concrete5 runing and i set-up my own theme no problem.

I have also set-up page defults so my client can add a new event page and it lays it all out with defult information blocks etc.

How ever I have a link on this page which i have put in the typography.css so i can chose a style from the list on a standard content block.(so no auto-nav used)

The button on this page is "more info" which will link to the child of the current page which they also created using a custom page layout.

Ok what i would like to know is if thire a way to make this button alwasy link to the current pages child page? with out puttiog a URL path on the link? (on the page defults, so the end users doesn't need to do anythink?)

Is this possible? or do i need to use the autonav (which i am alrady using on the page? so i dont want to mess it up!) and its only one link and has a differnt name to the page so i dont think auto-nav will do it for me?
maybe?
link url:http://www.concrete5.org/child(1)+
or just
url:child(1)

Is this possible? if not can i make a block which does?

Many Thanks for any answers or ideas

Regards

You can add this:
<?php 
      $bt_nav = BlockType::getByHandle('autonav');
      $bt_nav->controller->displayPages = 'below';
      $bt_nav->controller->orderBy = 'display_asc';
      $bt_nav->controller->displaySubPages = 'all';
      $bt_nav->render('view');
   ?>


This will shaw links to all subpages. If there will be only one, you have what you want. :)

Edit: there should be the custom template to change the name of this page - give me sec.. :)

You can have many auto-navs on one page, there is no problem with that.

Ok, I thought that you hard code it into page type .php file. If not, just add auto-nav and set it to display "pages below that page" (or something like that...)

Of course it will dsplay name of page instead of "more info". So this is solution: I've atached package - unzip it, and put to your root directory via ftp. I mean there should be "blocks" folder, and there you should put autonav/templates/more_info.php which I gave you.

Then you have to click on that ready auto-nav on your site and choose Custom Template. Set it to More Info.

Voila! :)
