PHP Help on Sidebar

[zonetrap]

I am using the code below on my sidebar. The sidebar changes depending on the page parent I have selected. The sidebar will show the parent and all its children. So if the parent is Fruit, the sidebat would show
Fruit Subpages
-Apples
-Oranges

But if the parent doesnt have any children, it shows a blank box.

How can I alter the code so it shows the parents name even if it has no children?

 ID;
while($current_page) {
$page_query = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT ID, post_title, post_status, post_parent FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = '$current_page'");
$current_page = $page_query->post_parent;
}
$parent_id = $page_query->ID;
$parent_title = $page_query->post_title;
if ($wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_parent = '$parent_id' AND post_status != 'attachment'")) { ?> 
 Subpages
ID) { ?>
-Back to " >

Thanks for the bump, WC.

I think a "loop" would work, but I'm uncertain how to build it.

Tough coding I guess, I have tried a few different forums, and no luck. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

i think you forgot to put an conditional tag

like you said if the parent doesn't have children it might need an alternative way to show the no child parent cat...not sure lol



try this last code

ID) { ?>
