PagesType class

Provides an interface to the Pages class but specific to a given page class/type, with predefined parent and template.

This class is primarily used by the core as an alternative to $pages, providing an API for other Page types like User, Role, Permission, and Language. The $users, $roles, $permissions and $languages API variables are all instances of PagesType. This class is typically not instantiated on its own and instead acts as a base class which is extended.

“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
