We are trying to create a function for breadcrumbs that will show not only the path to the current page, but also to other pages with the same parent page.
For instance, on example.com/parent1/child3, the breadcrumbs would show Home > Parent1 > Child1 > Child2 > Child3 > Child4 rather than simply Home > Parent1 > Child3.
We are using a modified version of the breadcrumbs script from http://dimox.net/wordpress-breadcrumbs-without-a-plugin/:
function dimox_breadcrumbs( $args = array() ) {
$defaults = array(
'delimiter' => '»',
'home' => 'Home',
'before' => '<span class="current">',
'after' => '</span>',
'before_wrapper' => '<div id="crumbs">',
'after_wrapper' => '</div>',
'before_link' => '<li>',
'after_link' => '</li>'
);
$opts = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
$delimiter = $opts['delimiter'];
$home = $opts['home']; // text for the 'Home' link
$showCurrent = 0; // 1 - show current post/page title in breadcrumbs, 0 - don't show
$before = $opts['before']; // tag before the current crumb
$after = $opts['after']; // tag after the current crumb
$b_link = $opts['before_link'];
$a_link = $opts['after_link'];
$title="";
$sub_title="";
if ( 1 || (!is_home() && !is_front_page()) || is_paged() ) {
echo $opts['before_wrapper'];
$out="<ul>";
global $post;
$homeLink = get_bloginfo('url');
$out .= $b_link . '<a href="' . $homeLink . '">' . $home . '</a>' . $a_link . $delimiter;
if ( is_category() ) {
global $wp_query;
$cat_obj = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
$thisCat = $cat_obj->term_id;
$thisCat = get_category($thisCat);
$parentCat = get_category($thisCat->parent);
if ($thisCat->parent != 0) {
$out .= $b_link . (get_category_parents($parentCat, TRUE, $delimiter)) . $a_link;
}
$title = __( 'Archive by category "%"', LANGUAGE_ZONE );

Any ideas? We really appreciate it.

idk about working it back into your breadcrumbs… which by nature i think are hierarchical.
but this should give you a list of the pages that have the same parent as the page you are on (aka its siblings) albeit in a totally unstyled way
global $post;
$args = array('child_of' => $post->post_parent, 'exclude'=> $post->ID);
if ($post->post_parent) $pages = get_pages($args);
if ($pages) foreach ($pages as $page):
echo $page->post_title .'<br/>';
endforeach;
if you list your current page and then list off its siblings then you can programmatically recreate what you are looking for i think
edit 1: setup postdata so we can use get_permalink(), get_the_title() inside a “loop” etc instead of object methods. get_permalink() gets the URL to the current item in the loop
global $post;
$args = array('child_of' => $post->post_parent, 'exclude'=> $post->ID);
if ($post->post_parent) $pages = get_pages($args);
if ($pages) :
//store the $temp variable
$temp = $post;
$siblings="<ul>";
foreach ($pages as $post): setup_postdata($post);
$siblings .= '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
endforeach;
//restore the $post variable
$post = $temp;
$siblings .= '</ul>';
echo $siblings;
endif;
the args are different, but
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_posts#Reset_after_Postlists_with_offset
is the foreach loop i usually work off of. it is also got get_posts, but get_pages works the same except that it only returns pages.
