I'm confused by how PW handles user permissions. I have created a user role of editor with the following permissions: edit, view and update profile.

This is an events website where the editor should be able to add and edit events and cities, but not other pages such as categories that are set once and for all. This is my page tree for the editor:

There are a few problems here:

• The editor should not be able to create new categories ("categorías")
• The editor should not be able to create other pages at the top level, i.e. there should be no "new" next to "Inicio"

The "edit" and "view" permissions are all fine. For example, they should only be able to view the categories, and it works as expected. But it's the page creation permissions that I do not understand. This is the access tab in my "categories" template:

In this setup, the editor should not be able to create pages, but it seems to apply only to the children of that template. If I undertand correctly, the page permissions are inherited from the home template, and for the editor to be able to create new events and add cities, I had to tick all the checkboxes (view, edit, create and add children) in the home template for the editor:

What am I doing wrong here? Or is this kind of fine-grained control not possible currently with PW?

I'd like to convert an existing Website of mine (that does not use a CMS) to PW to be able to update it easily. Problem is, I don't know how to deal with more complex queries such as this one:

<?
$tomorrow = date('Y-m-d',mktime(0,0,0,date('m'), date('d')+1, date('Y')));

// Tomorrow's events
$query_tomorrow = "SELECT id, city, event, category, description, DATE_FORMAT(date_start,'%M %D') as datestart, DATE_FORMAT(date_end,'%M %D') as dateend FROM events WHERE disabled != '1' AND (
(date_start = '$tomorrow')
OR (date_start <= '$tomorrow' AND date_end >= '$tomorrow')
)
ORDER BY date_start DESC";
?>

I want to show tomorrow's events, so I'm selecting all events that I marked as active (disabled != '1', because they have not been cancelled for example) and that are either:
1. ongoing but will not end today,
2. or will start tomorrow.

How would I achieve the exact same query with PW?

Thanks in advance.

I've just upgraded to the latest version of PW (from 2.2.3). Now I'm getting the following error whenever I try to insert a link to another page from TinyMCE:

Error Call to undefined method stdClass::attr() (line 56 of ....../public_html/wire/modules/Process/ProcessPageEditLink/ProcessPageEditLink.module)

In the Console Tab of Chrome's Web Inspector, there's the following error:
"Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) ..../processwire/page/link/?id=1176&modal=1"

In the "search.php" template that comes with the download of PW, this line allows you to search for "title", "body" and "sidebar" fields:

$matches = $pages->find("title|body|sidebar~=$q, limit=50");

But how do you search for content inside a repeater field?
Thanks.

I've been asked to consider the viability of the following project: a sort of collaborative blog where any Spanish expat could register and post small articles, videos and photos about their experiences as Spaniards living in the U.S. The trick here is that users should only have the options to view and edit their own posts, and should not have access to the posts of anyone else. I'm guessing then that the traditional user roles and permissions (user, editor, administrator...) do not apply here.

It must be the summer heat, but I can't think how to achieve this with Processwire. Any thoughts? As usual with PW, it must be easier than I think.
