First let me say that I'm new to SilverStripe - so there is probably a really simple answer to this that I just can't quite find.

Imagine I have a holder: AnimalHolder

Each AnimalHolder can hold multiple pages of types: CatPage or DogPage

What I want to achieve is to have two separate lists of Cats and Dogs in my AnimalHolder.ss.

I've tried similar to:

<ul id="cats">
        <% if ClassName = CatPage %>
            <% control Children %>
                <li>Cat: $Title</li>
            <% end_control %>
        <% end_if %>
</ul>

<ul id="dogs">
        <% if ClassName = DogPage %>
            <% control Children %>
                <li>Dog: $Title</li>
            <% end_control %>
        <% end_if %>
</ul>

however, this does not work.

Any ideas?

Ok .. I just figured it out myself. I need to control the Children first, then check ClassName ...

For posterity and the sake of others that may be similarly struggling, the following worked for me:

<ul id="cats">
        <% if Children %>
        <% control Children %>
            <% if ClassName = CatPage %>
                <li>$Title</li>
            <% end_if %>
        <% end_control %>
        <% end_if %>
</ul>

<ul id="dogs">
        <% if Children %>
        <% control Children %>
            <% if ClassName = DogPage %>
                <li>$Title</li>
            <% end_if %>
        <% end_control %>
        <% end_if %>
</ul>
