Hello,

Sorry in advance if it is more a php beginner question than a kirby question.
I’m would add a different content in the span, depend if subpage comes from projets or blog, and I tried several way but was not able to do it…
Here is the last way I tried to do it :frowning:

Thank you for your help,

Constant

<ul class="liste">
<?php foreach($pages->find('projets' , 'blog')->children()->limit(9)->shuffle() as $article): ?>
<li>
    <div class="content">
        <h2><?php echo html($article->title()) ?></h2>                            
        <p><?php echo $article->text()->excerpt(110) ?></p>
        <span class="test"><?php if($article->isProjetsPage()): ?> test1 <?php else: ?> test2 <?php endif ?></span>
        <a href="<?php echo $article->url() ?>">Visitez <?php echo $article->name() ?></a>
    </div>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

If I’m not mistaken, I think you could use:

$page->isChildOf($parent)

Like this:

<ul class="liste">
<?php foreach($pages->find('projets' , 'blog')->children()->limit(9)->shuffle() as $article): ?>
<li>
    <div class="content">
        <h2><?php echo html($article->title()) ?></h2>                            
        <p><?php echo $article->text()->excerpt(110) ?></p>
        <span class="test"><?php if($article->isChildOf('projets')): ?> test1 <?php else: ?> test2 <?php endif ?></span>
        <a href="<?php echo $article->url() ?>">Visitez <?php echo $article->name() ?></a>
    </div>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>

You can also use the e() function to simplify your if inside the <span>.

<span><?php e( $article->isChildOf('projets'), 'test1', 'test2' ) ?></span>

By the way isProjetsPage() is not a method that exists in Kirby.

Hi, thank you for your reponse, unfortunatly I can’t make it work with :

$page->isChildOf($parent)

For the isProjetsPage() I thought I could try to do the same as homePage and ErrorPage.

It should be $article->isChildOf(page('projets')), because the parameter is a page, not a string.

These two are the only special cases. But if you want to check by template, you can do this as well:

<span><?php e($article->template() == 'blogpost', 'test2', 'test1'); ?></span>

That’s it! Thank you for your help and explication. And very good to know how to do with templates also.
