$page->hasChildren() method

Return the number of visible children, optionally with conditions

This method is similar to $page->numChildren() except that the default behavior is to exclude non-visible children.

This method may be more convenient for front-end navigation use than the $page->numChildren() method because it only includes the count of visible children. By visible, we mean children that are not hidden, unpublished, or non-accessible due to access control.

Example

// Determine if we should show navigation to children
if($page->hasChildren()) {
  // Yes, we should show navigation to children
}

Usage

// basic usage
$int = $page->hasChildren();

// usage with all arguments
$int = $page->hasChildren($selector = true);

API reference based on ProcessWire core version 3.0.244

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
