I have a navigation element in my layout that I want to always show  
links to all children of a certain page that is nested one or 2 levels  
inside my hierarchy.

I guess I need something like:

\<r:page url="/foo/bar"\>  
\<r:chilren:each\>  
\<r:title\>  
\</r:children:each\>  
\</r:page\>

I can’t seem to figure out how to load up a specific page like that to  
operate on like that.

Thanks for helping out this radiant noob.

You’re on the right track. If you just want a link to the page with its  
title, use \<r:link /\>. I imagine they were just typos, but make sure  
your tags are closed ( /\> for singleton tags) and spelled correctly. As  
the other respondent said, use \<r:find url="/foo/bar"\>…\</r:find\> to  
scope to that page.

I believe you want r:find

\<r:find url=“value\_to\_find”\>…\</r:find\>

Thanks guys. I got a little more going on there then I typed up, so  
\<r:link /\> probably won’t do quite enough for me. But its still good to  
know about. Thanks for the tips.
