Child page content - php

Question

I have a parent page that acts as menu for my portfolio.
It pulls in thumbnail images from the child pages which i have been able to accomplish with magic fields and some code. It dumps the images into a grid layout. The thumbnails are pulled into one container div like so:
div id="folio-content">
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><img src="/images/pic.jpg"/>
</div>JCPenny</div>
... </div>`
when the div gets filled up with 2 thumbnails I want to create a new container div and fill it with 2 images again and so on after 2 images.
So, if you had 4 images it would look like this.
<div id="folio-content"><!--/Main Container/-->
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><img src="/images/pic1.jpg"/>
</div>JCPenny</div>
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><img src="/images/pic1.jpg"/>
</div>Champ Car</div></div>
<div id="folio-content"><!--/Main Container/-->
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><img src="/images/pic1.jpg"/>
</div>JCPenny</div>
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><img src="/images/pic1.jpg"/>
</div>Champ Car</div></div>
this is the code I am using in my page.php file.
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id="folio-content">
<?php
$projectpage = get_pages('child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
$count = 0;
foreach($projectpage as $page)
{
$content = $page->post_content;
if(!$content)
continue;
if ($count == 10) --- this is geting 10 images now, but I want to get them all.
break;
$count++;
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
?>
<div class="thumb-container">
<div class="thumb"><a href="<?php echo get_permalink($page->ID); ?>"<?php echo get_image ("thumbnail",1,1,1,$page->ID);?></a>
</div><?php echo $page->post_title ?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div><!--/close set!-->
</div>
also, how can I get ALL child pages? I have it set to 10 now with this if ($count == 10)
any help? thanks a ton again!!!!

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with "get_pages" but since Wordpress treats posts and pages in an identical manner you could use this.
$projectpage = get_posts('numberposts=-1&post_type=page&child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
The -1 removes the limit and gets ALL the specified pages.

Answer 2

I have cobbled together some code, that sort of sounds right but does not work at all! Which I am not surprised. But it is a starting point - please take a look at this code, maybe it is step in the right direction?
<?php
$projectpage = get_posts('numberposts=-1&post_type=page&child_of='.$post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
if (have_posts()) :
$i=0; // counter
while(get_posts()) : the_post();
if($i%2==0) { // if counter is multiple of 3, put an opening div ?>
<!-- <?php echo ($i+1).'-'; echo ($i+2); ?> -->
<div>
<?php } ?>
<div class="single_item">
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
</div>
<?php $i++;
if($i%2==0) { // if counter is multiple of 3, put an closing div ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
if($i%2!=0) { // put closing div here if loop is not exactly a multiple of 3 ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?>
