How to make WP pages the child of an event?

[morktron]

Hi, I have a large menu that is all working well and has a matching breadcrumb trail, url and displays the relevant menu items on the right pages.

Except some of the menu items need to be Event Calendar events, and need to be the parent of specific pages – otherwise the actual event will not be in the breadcrumb trail. Plus the url will not have the event in it either.

I know this is probably a little tricky 😉

Here is the site in development

p.s – it would be great to have some markup available in the forum, or at least auto p tags 😉

Hi morktron,

Except some of the menu items need to be Event Calendar events, and need to be the parent of specific pages – otherwise the actual event will not be in the breadcrumb trail.

I’m not quite understanding why you can’t do this through WordPress’s Appearance > Menus admin screen – it seems like exactly the sort of thing it would allow you to manage with ease, simply by letting you drop an event link in place then add pages or whatever else you like as sub-items.

With regards to breadcrumbs, it’s harder to offer advice on that one as there are many different breadcrumb implementations out there.

p.s – it would be great to have some markup available in the forum, or at least auto p tags

We do have some improvements in the works – if you want to receive launch details, please do sign up to be notified 🙂

You shouldn’t manually need to insert paragraph tags when you post on the current forum, though – if you do that’s definitely some atypical behaviour – and we’ll happily look into it if so.

Ok thanks Barry, the menu part is fine, it’s just making pages the child of an event that is tricky, as well as the breadcrumbs and url.

I’ve done a bit more research and see that post relationships are not part of the WordPress core, they are under consideration and can be done in the time being by using a plugin and a lot of coding.

I’ll put it in the ‘too hard’ basket for now, thanks anyway, cheers Mark

p.s p tags are working for me now and I’ve signed up for news 🙂

Ahh … that makes a little more sense now – yeah unfortunately setting up post relationships would indeed require a plugin like the one you linked to (or some custom coding).

Awesome. It’s not impossible you were hit by an issue that I’ve normally only seen impacting staff but hopefully these and some other gremlins will be worked out of the system when the new site goes live.

Thanks again Mark!
