Display child pages of a Page in it's page list item. . .
Permalink
My humble apologies in advance if this question has already been answered somewhere on the forum. I was unable to locate an answer via the forums or google.
Basically, I have an About page that has 3 child pages. Each of those 5 child pages has 5 child pages as well.
I'd like to use the page list block on the About page and list only the 2nd level of 3 child pages as list items "<li>".
However, in those list items, I'd like to have an unordered list of links showing that page's 5 child pages.
Make sense I think. I want it to be dynamic and I'm trying to avoid hard coding it using stacks or something. I was thinking to embed the autonav in my custom pagelist template. That would work if I can use PageList's functions to obtain each list item's Page ID number while it's looping through them. Then feed that ID into an embedded autonav as a variable?
Seems like that's work, but I don't know how to obtain each Page's ID that the PageList block spits out.
Thanks in advance!

Instead of using a Page List, why not just use an AutoNav and set the options accordingly. You can set the number of levels and sub-levels that get displayed. If I understand you correctly, I think it should work for this. You might have to wrap it in a unique div and style it with your main style sheet.
Thanks for the prompt reply mhawke!
I'd contemplated using the autonav as you suggested. However, I need page thumbnails too, that's mainly why I started w/ Pg. List.
I think my method is sound, just need to be able to get the ID for each parent page that's the Pg. List spits out, then feed that into the autonav that's I've embeded in my pg. list template's loop.
I'm okay w/ using autonav though, just unsure how to add thumbnail functionality to it.
