SR-ChildPages

Description

This plugin allows page authors to easily list any child pages of a given page by simply using a new [childpages] shortcode. A basic list of the children to the page you’re editing will be returned with the shortcode [childpages]. More-complex versions of the shortcode, as described in the Usage section, give you additional control over the output results.

Usage

The basic shortcode to get a page list is [childpages]. Wherever you have a need to drop of a list of child pages for the page you’re currently authoring, just enter that code in either the Visual or HTML editor. The list that results will not be shown with a title, will be one level deep, will not exclude any child pages or authors, and will be sorted by page order and then by title.

To list the child pages with a title, use the enclosing form of the shortcode, like this:

[childpages]List Title[/childpages]

The text between the opening and closing shortcodes will be the title of the resulting list. It is being passed to the title_li attribute in the wp_list_pages() template tag.

To change the defaults used to format the list, pass the appropriate parameters in your shortcode, like this:

[childpages depth=2 sort_column=ID]

The parameters you provide are passed to wp_list_pages(). The following parameters are supported; usage details for these parameters can be found in the WordPress Codex.

• depth
• child_of
• exclude
• echo
• authors
• sort_column
