How to make PageList to show siblings of Parent by default?
Permalink
I got as far as realizing I can stick a PageList on the default page for the Page Type, but I want the PageList to display a menu of links to all the pages within that particular section of the page you are on. In other words: siblings under the current pages Parent page.
Just trying to avoid making a bazillion templates or making the client add a new PageList block and fiddling with the settings every time they make a new page.

Oh yes, it looks like if I specify it "at the level above" that will do exactly what I need. Thank you!
Follow-up question: using the same template, is there any way you can think of to change color styles according to which particular Parent the page is under? (Each Parent is a color-coded section, so it would be cool to have the nav list color-coded to reflect that. )

I'm typing this on my phone so don't expect any examples, but I guess the easiest way to do this is with jQuery or JavaScript checking if the prent has something unique and by that apply a CSS style on all links in the nav.
Otherwise you can add a page attribute and use that information when building yor autonav. Remember though that you will have to set the attribute on all pages.

Ooh ooh ooh! Awesome that I understand you. I can have jQuery check the parent ID and then set up rules for each of the 5 options. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Now, I just have to try to figure out how to do that as I am not fluent in jQuery... hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Google I go! Thanks again!
