Question re sidebar nav

[billdoy]

Hi,

Love the svbtle theme guys! I have a couple questions:

1. Is there a way to control what pages appear in the navigation in the left column? It seems the default is to include all pages.

2. How would I add a simple footer? I just need space to put in a one line disclaimer.

Thanks!
Bill

I'm having the same issue 1)
All published pages are included in the navigation column and not sortable.

1. The file: wp-content/themes/svbtle/header.php contains the code to pull all pages in:

    $mypages = get_pages( );

        foreach( $mypages as $page ) {      
            $content = $page->post_content;
            if ( ! $content ) // Check for empty page
                continue;

You can exclude pages by using the on get_pages() exclude parameter and adding page ID's in: like so:

get_pages(array('exclude' =>  "3,7")); 

You can also change sorting with the sort_column and sort_order parameters, from the get_pages documentation

Another way to solve this could be the usage of the wordpress provided menu functionality. http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen

would be much easier than excluding a bunch of pages manually.

I second @dasrecht suggestion. Using built-in WordPress menu functionality would be excellent, so the theme does not have to be hacked.

@dasrecht, @gserafini +1. If you can do it in a way without hardcoding values into the file, you should (updating and maintenance will be a lot easier). I haven't had experience of Wordpress menu's previously.
