CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

This seems like a simple query but a google and search on forums here has not yielded an answer for me

In my site template, I want to check and see if the page I am currently on has children pages. Is it possible to do this? NOTE: this is outside of the menu manager module etc, just within the smarty template itself.

What I am trying to do: Using some kind of {if} statement, if page has menu I want to use certain DIV's, if not I want to use others. It will save me needing to create two manual templates.

Thanks,
Lampsie

CGSimpleSmarty has some calls to check this IIRC... You could check its help to see what it can return....

RonnyK, thank you, that solved it
For the record:

1) Installed CGSimpleSmarty
2) In my template, used this to figure out if page has children or not:

{if $cgsimple->has_children('',$has_children) eq 1}Has children{else}No children{/if}

If you want to check if this page has children OR if it has a parent (which is what I needed in the end):
{if $cgsimple->has_children('',$has_children) eq 1 or $cgsimple->get_parent_alias() neq "" }

Thanks very much,
Lampsie
