show chunk if parent is:

Ok have done some scroogling on this and have run across a couple threads, most dealing with phx plugin and since I am working on revo, I can’t seem to get this to work.

I have three containers with getpage calls on them, these containers share the same template as the child pages they contain, but I need to insert navigation links on the children pages without them showing up on the container pages.

is there a way that I can put a call in the template that asks: "if the parent is this contianer, this container, or this container, return this chunk"?

I tried something like I got this from a post here, but it didn’t go into detail, I was hoping I could use the id numbers, but of course, as is the case with a lot of my php attempts , it didn’t work at all.
I would like the chunk to appear only on children pages but not the actual parent page. I know I could do this with a template variable, but the less the client has to do the better (i.e. not having to remember to check a radial button or the like).

I’m not positive that I understand what you want, but I think this is it. It will put the navchunk on the page for all children of resources 8, 9, and 11 and will be much more efficient than using the PHX filter:

hi bob, just to clarify a bit, when someone goes to the conatainer page where the getpage call is they will see all the client’s articles listed there and this page will use the same template as the child page, so when a visitor clicks on the readmore link they go to another page with the same layout, but since this page has a specific parent, I want a chunk to show up on just the child page and not the container page.

actually, I just tried it and got a fatal error, I am not trying to insert wayfinder or anything like that, matter of fact, what I am looking for is the ability to insert any type of chunk really depending on the parent’s id.

My bad, that should be:




(corrected above). I must have been temporarily insane.

Give it another try. I think it does what you want.

oh not to worry bob, I am just thankful you help me so much.
I think I am still botching it,

first a create a chunk and call it "mychunk"

then I create snippet called "mysnippet" with your code like this:
I then tried to place the call
in both the template and I get an exception:

I even tried to place the code onto the container folder, same result, I did scroogle it a bit though before hand and I know it has to deal with the class/object, but I am still unsure of where the error lies.

Sorry, I pasted the code from inside a class.

It should be:



(fixed post above)

sorry about taking my time getting back on this..
I tried it and there are no errors, but the chunk I want revealed on the child pages doesn’t appear.

could I do it with if/else, would the syntax be something like this:

Looks good, except that if you want the ID of the parent of the current document, it would be:



You could also just use this in the if statements:



You don’t need .= and remember to put this at the end or you’ll get nothing:

hoooooray BobRay, that work!

Glad it helped.
