It seems a little temperamental on some pages, but I will have a fiddle with the CSS etc. and see what I can do.</p> <p>It would be a fantastic idea to turn this functionality into a widget or plugin or something so you can have the choice to turn it on or off depending on the page - I've seen a few very similar requests on these forums, and it really helps bridge the gap between being a blog used for business info, and a proper website with cms - once you can get better control of sub menus, it makes such a difference to the navigation of a site. </p> <p>This is my first experience with wordpress, and it's the only thing letting it down tbh.</p> <p>Can't fault the support though, you guys have been really helpful. </p> Dude on "Different Sidebar submenu for each top level page??" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-sidebar-submenu-for-each-top-level-page#post-8016 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 14:39:17 +0000 Dude 8016@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>You can use following code to achieve what you want:<br /> <pre><code><?php global $k_option, $custom_widget_area; if ($k_option['custom']['bodyclass'] == "") // check if its a full width page, if full width dont show the sidebar content { ############################################################################## # Display the sidebar menu ############################################################################## $default_sidebar = true; echo "<div class='sidebar'>"; echo "<span class='sidebar_top'></span>"; echo "<span class='sidebar_bottom'></span>"; ?> <?php if($post->post_parent) $children .= wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&echo=0"); else $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); if ($children) { ?> <div class="widget widget_pages"> <h3>Sub-Navigation</h3> <ul> <?php echo $children; ?> </ul> </div> <?php } //Frontpage sidebars: if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'frontpage' && dynamic_sidebar('Frontpage Sidebar') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; // general blog sidebars if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'blog' && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Blog') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; // general pages sidebars if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'page' && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Pages') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //unique Page sidebars: if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Page: '.$custom_widget_area) ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //unique Category sidebars if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Category: '.$custom_widget_area) ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //sidebar area displayed everywhere if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Displayed Everywhere')) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //default dummy sidebar if ($default_sidebar && $k_option['includes']['dummy_sidebars'] == 1) { if(is_page()){ ?> <div class="box_small box widget community_news"><h3 class="widgettitle">Features we offer</h3> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Absolutley Striking Designs</strong>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, usmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Multiple color options</strong>Consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Unique Features</strong>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor.

Thanks a lot for all the help BTW it is really appreciated.</p> <p>Not quite right yet though - the sub menu appears only on pages that have child pages. When you go on one of the child pages, How can we stilll get the menu to stay, and indicate which page we are currently on?</p> <p>Using your getting started content, when I'm on the about the theme page, I get:</p> <p>Sub Pages<br /> ------------------------------------<br /> # Basic Shortcodes<br /> # Advanced Shortcodes<br /> # HTML Styles<br /> # Fullwidth & Columns<br /> # Popular Treatments<br /> # Tab Example<br /> # Even more Tabs</p> <p>which is perfect - however, when I click on one of those pages, the sub menu goes away. </p> Dude on "Different Sidebar submenu for each top level page??" http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/different-sidebar-submenu-for-each-top-level-page#post-7969 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:36:48 +0000 Dude 7969@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I corrected your code - it should work now.<br /> <pre><code><?php global $k_option, $custom_widget_area; if ($k_option['custom']['bodyclass'] == "") // check if its a full width page, if full width dont show the sidebar content { ############################################################################## # Display the sidebar menu ############################################################################## $default_sidebar = true; echo "<div class='sidebar'>"; echo "<span class='sidebar_top'></span>"; echo "<span class='sidebar_bottom'></span>"; ?> <?php $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&sort_column=menu_order&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0"); if ($children != "") { // conditional so only shows up if there are sub pages ?> <div class="box_small box widget"> <h3 class="widgettitle">Sub Pages</h3> <div class="entry box_entry"> <?php echo $children; ?> </div> </div> <?php } //Frontpage sidebars: if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'frontpage' && dynamic_sidebar('Frontpage Sidebar') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; // general blog sidebars if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'blog' && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Blog') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; // general pages sidebars if ($k_option['showSidebar'] == 'page' && dynamic_sidebar('Sidebar Pages') ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //unique Page sidebars: if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Page: '.$custom_widget_area) ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //unique Category sidebars if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Category: '.$custom_widget_area) ) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //sidebar area displayed everywhere if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Displayed Everywhere')) : $default_sidebar = false; endif; //default dummy sidebar if ($default_sidebar && $k_option['includes']['dummy_sidebars'] == 1) { if(is_page()){ ?> <div class="box_small box widget community_news"><h3 class="widgettitle">Features we offer</h3> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Absolutley Striking Designs</strong>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, usmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Multiple color options</strong>Consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> <div class="entry box_entry"> <p><strong>Unique Features</strong>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor.

Is this correct? it makes navigation hard - there must be a solution? </p> <p>In short: I'd like to be able to assign different sub menus to different pages.. </p>
