A property for children of Pagetablefields with the page-id of the Pagetablefield

[horst]

So, when storing those pagetable child pages as native children in the pagetree, we can easily get them selected. But when we need to store them on a different (out of the way) location in the pagetree, this relation is lost. Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to build a selector like:

$pagetablechildren = $pages->find("parent-pagetablefield={$page->pagetablefield->id}, template=xyz");

Or is this already possible and I simply don't know it?

This is already on the Wishlist, but named a little different. https://processwire.com/talk/topic/9730-get-pages-used-by-a-pagefield/

This, and hopefully pageimage at the same time. Got bit a little last week.

@Pierre-Luc,

$pageimage->page will get you the page; not sure if this is a subfield though for use in selectors;

Nice trick!

Yeah my use case was to show last updated images from a specific page mixed with a bunch of other "regular" pages, couldn't seem to get it working. Also there was some pain in merging both arrays (didn't seem compatible), plus sorting with dates on different field names (native created + custom date for some of the content) at the same time.

PageArray's are not compatible to PageFiles, but you should be able to import both in a single basic WireArray.

The page table pages are referenced in the field.

So how about using this? Unless I'm not getting it what you're after.

$pagetablechildren = $pages->get("template=xyz, pagetablefield=$page")->pagetablefield;
