I have some code that creates pages with child pages in WordPress. What i would like to do is have each child have its own page template. As you see below, i am creating child pages of Script and Assets. Currently the child page is created with one page_Full.php added to everything but i would like to have Script and Assets have their own page template. Ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
function CreatePage(){
$post_title = $_POST['ProjectName'];
$post_excerpt = $_POST['ProjectDiscript'];
$tags = $_POST['TypeOption'];
$pages = array(
array(
'name' => $post_title,
'title' => $post_title,
'child' => array(
'script' => $post_title.'_Script',
'assets' => $post_title.'_Assets'
)
)
);
$template = array(
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_excerpt' => $post_excerpt,
'tags_input' => array($tags),
);
foreach( $pages as $page ) {
$exists = get_page_by_title( $page['title'] );
$my_page = array(
'post_name' => $page['name'],
'post_title' => $page['title'],
'page_template' => 'page_Full.php'
);
$my_page = array_merge( $my_page, $template );
$id = ( $exists ? $exists->ID : wp_insert_post( $my_page ) );
if( isset( $page['child'] ) ) {
foreach( $page['child'] as $key => $value ) {
$child_id = get_page_by_title( $value );
$child_page = array(
'post_name' => $key,
'post_title' => $value,
'post_parent' => $id,
'page_template' => 'page_Full.php'
);
$child_page = array_merge( $child_page, $template );
if( !isset( $child_id ) ) wp_insert_post( $child_page );
}
}
}
wp_die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_CreatePage','CreatePage' );
Had the idea to create an array for every child page - and it seams to work. Perhaps there is still a better way but for the time being - This does the trick!
$pages = array(
array(
'name' => $post_title,
'title' => $post_title,
'child' => array(
'script' => array(
'Pname' => $post_title.'_Script',
'Ptemplate' => 'page_Full_Script.php'
),
'assets' => array(
'Pname' => $post_title.'_Assets',
'Ptemplate' => 'page_Full_Assets.php'
),
'settings' => array(
'Pname' => $post_title.'_Settings',
'Ptemplate' => 'page_Full_Settings.php'
)
)
)
);
Here is the child with sub arrays.
if( isset( $page['child'] ) ) {
foreach( $page['child'] as $key[] => $value ) {
$child_id = get_page_by_title( $value );
$child_page = array(
'post_name' => $value['Pname'],
'post_title' => $value['Pname'],
'post_parent' => $id,
'page_template' => $value['Ptemplate'],
);
$child_page = array_merge( $child_page, $template );
if( !isset( $child_id ) ) wp_insert_post( $child_page );
}
}
And here is where the child array is set as var to be iterated through so that the info can be inserted into the child_page var to be merged and the post inserted. Thanks to any who took the time to review. Cheers
