Introduces the [list-pages], [sibling-pages] and [child-pages] shortcodes for easily displaying a list of pages within a post or page.

== Description ==

Introduces the [list-pages], [sibling-pages] and [child-pages] [shortcodes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) for easily displaying a list of pages within a post or page.  Both shortcodes accept all parameters that you can pass to the [`wp_list_pages()`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages) function with the addition of a class parameter.

= Example Usage =

*List pages sorted by title*

`[list-pages sort_column="post_title"]`

*List pages but exclude certain IDs and set the class of the list to "my-page-list"*

`[list-pages exclude="17,38" class="my-page-list"]`

*Show excerpt (for pages excerpt support will need adding manually or via the [Page Excerpt](https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-excerpt/) plugin)*

`[list-pages excerpt="1"]`

*List the current page's children, but only show the top level*

`[child-pages depth="1"]`

*List the current page's siblings and their subpages*

`[sibling-pages depth="2"]`

= Default Arguments =

The default values are the same as for the [wp_list_pages()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages) function except for title_li which defaults to nothing.  If a class is not specified, a default class of either "list-pages", "sibling-pages" or "child-pages" is given to the UL tag.  In addition, the echo parameter has no effect.

In addition to the [wp_list_pages()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages) arguments, you can also specify:

* **list_type** *(string)* List tag. Defaults to `<ul>`.
* **exclude_current_page** *(int)* Exclude the current page. Defaults to `0`.
* **excerpt** *(int)* Show the page excerpt. Defaults to `0`.

== Installation ==

1. Download and unzip the most recent version of this plugin
2. Upload the list-pages-shortcode folder to /path-to-wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
3. Login to your WP Admin panel, click Plugins, and activate "List Pages Shortcode"

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I include a page excerpt? =

Firstly you will need to add support for excerpt for your pages. You can either you this by using the [add_post_type_support()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_post_type_support) function or using a plugin like [Page Excerpt](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-excerpt/).

You can also use the 'list_pages_shortcode_excerpt' filter to return or customize the excerpt for specific pages. The following example:
`<?php
function my_list_pages_shortcode_excerpt( $excerpt, $page, $depth, $args ) {
	return $excerpt . '...';
}
add_filter( 'list_pages_shortcode_excerpt', 'my_list_pages_shortcode_excerpt', 10, 4 );
?>`

You can then include the excerpt via your shortcode.
`[list-pages excerpt="1"]`
