Thats why I love British Military Fitness. I was a little worried when I went for my free trial, imagining a scene from Full metal jacket or something. I was happily proven wrong, everyone was very positive.

Its a great way to have fun outside and push yourself much further than you could normallly in the gym.

The Mystery Of The Pagan Origin Of Christmas

This has been a massive project, mainly consolidating the thousands of pages the old SP site with the old Dubai Select site.
Our site is now powered by WordPress and has over 2700 seo freindly, W3C validating pages.

Plus some annoying fireworks. At some point when have time I have will write a case study report on the project. For now just take a look.

Additionally I came up against two other issues:

1. Finding out the depth of the page within the hierarchy of the site.
2. Control over whether the menu displayed “sibling” links or “children” links.

A lot of the existing tutorials are great, but their implementation is very broad. The “wp_list_pages” function within WordPress is great, very flexible and well documented. Yet swapping between section or child menu based on page depth seemed to be a dead end. Until I read this great tutorial by Jake Goldman talking about a hardly mentioned but great function, called “get_post_ancestors();”. This cool function will create an array of the current posts ancestors. Using this I expanded on Jake Goldman’s great article, adding a little more finite control over the submenu.

Page depth and sibling / child code for WordPress

Heres the PHP code I dropped into the sidebar.php of my WordPress theme. Hopefully should be of use. My example displays the sibling/ section links into the navigation. While displaying the child links for all the pages higher in the hiarachy. Hope this code is usefull.

#Creates Array from the pages ancestors post ID's
$post_ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post);

#Un-comment array for guidence
#print_r($post_ancestors);

#Gets the base post id
$top_page = array_pop($post_ancestors);

#Get post depth
#After a certain depth into the page hierarchy the page displays sibling menu items in sub menu.

if (count($post_ancestors) <= 1) {
#Shallow Link Display Children
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');

 } elseif (count($post_ancestors) >= 2) {

#Deep Link Display Siblings or Section Links
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->post_parent.'&echo=0&depth=1');

} elseif (is_page()) {

#Default Display Children
$children = wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'&echo=0&depth=1');

} 

if ($children) {
#Outputs the submenu if it exists
echo('
Sub Menu');
echo($children);
echo('

');
