Page list block - List pages at same level

Permalink
Hello everyone,

Im working on a new project. I want to use the Page list block for a feature.

I need the Page list block to list pages on a page with pages from the same level.

I got these options:
everywhere, beneath this page and beneath another page.

Would it be possible to make an option called "Same level as this page", and make it work that way. ?

I hope you understand my question.

Thank you in advance.

yeah to build this out you'd need to do something like:

global $c;
$cArray = array();  //pageList uses this but builds in the controller
$parentID = $c->getCollectionID();
$parentPage = Page::getByID($parentID);
$cIDArray = $parentPage->getCollectionChildrenArray(TRUE); //gets an arrayofCollectionID;
if(!empty($cIDArray)) foreach($cIDArray as $id){
$cArray[] = Page::getByID($id);
}


Or something really close to that.

You should be able to create a custom template and paste that in the top of the custom view and it "should" work.

It works !

I just needed to use $c->getCollectionParentID() instead of $c->getCollectionID().

It should look like this:

global $c;
$cArray = array();  //pageList uses this but builds in the controller
$parentID = $c->getCollectionParentID();
$parentPage = Page::getByID($parentID);
$cIDArray = $parentPage->getCollectionChildrenArray(TRUE); //gets an arrayofCollectionID;
if(!empty($cIDArray)) foreach($cIDArray as $id){
$cArray[] = Page::getByID($id);
}


Thank you once again ScottC for you help. It is most appreciated. :)

what if we want to put it in controller, which line i must edit/add?

cause we will have a lot of template, such as most comment, best rating, best view, recent comment, latest article, etc.

so i think its best to put it in controller, it's posible? or if there is filter like 87up said 'Same level as this page', it's really very nice :)

or maybe feature like 'filter by level' ?

i think all of us want to adding block just in default type, and avoid adding block in single page. adding block in single page just special case.


thank you
