I'm building a website that creates pages, sets the template and once a payment has been processed the page needs to be set to published.

I need to know how to set this in the PHP Page class.

Is it just $page = new Page(); $page->published = FALSE;?

I couldn't find out how to do this in the docs.

Thanks

Clint

It's one of the statuses you see in the top of the Pages class.

So you can set the status using it like:

$page->status = Page::statusUnpublished;

Edit: Have you looked on the Cheatsheet? For reference under "Page Status" http://processwire.com/api/cheatsheet/

BTW aren't you the guy with the processwiresexy, whatever? I'm kinda surprised you didn't know this.

The page statuses are a bitmask so it's possible for there to be multiple statuses on a page, like unpublished and hidden. So it's best to add and remove statuses with the addStatus and removeStatus functions, i.e.

$page->addStatus(Page::statusUnpublished); 
// same as:
$page->status = $page->status | Page::statusUnpublished; 

$page->removeStatus(Page::statusHidden); 
// same as:
$page->status = $page->status & ~Page::statusHidden;

You can also check the status of a page by using the is() function:

if($page->is(Page::statusUnpublished)) { ... }
// same as
if($page->status & Page::statusUnpublished) { ... }

Ups, almost forgot about them. *hidesinthecorner*

I'm having a problem where I can test for Hidden but the unpublished test is failing:

<?php
$events_page = $pages->get("template=events");
$galleries_page = $pages->get("template=galleries");
if ($events_page->is(Page::statusHidden) || $events_page->is(Page::statusUnpublished)) {
} else {
$events = $pages->find("template=event, sort=-event_date, limit=3");
}
if ($galleries_page->is(Page::statusHidden) || $galleries_page->is(Page::statusHidden)) {
} else {
$galleries = $pages->find("template=gallery, images.count>0, sort=-created, limit=3");
}

if (count($events) || count($galleries)) { ?>

Not too sure what's happening but have definitely set my Events page to unpublished...

I've got around it using:

<?php 
$events_page = $pages->get("template=events");
$galleries_page = $pages->get("template=galleries");
if ($events_page->viewable() && $events_page->isHidden() == false) {
$events = $pages->find("template=event, sort=-event_date, limit=3");
}
if ($galleries_page->viewable() && $galleries_page->isHidden() == false) {
$galleries = $pages->find("template=gallery, images.count>0, sort=-created, limit=3");
}

if (count($events) || count($galleries)) { ?>

Could this line be the problem? Notice you are checking statusHidden twice rather than statusUnpublished:

if ($galleries_page->is(Page::statusHidden) || $galleries_page->is(Page::statusHidden)) {
