Save order after using "page" fieldtype

[regesh]

I need to save order for elements in global tree after using "page" fieldtype in other page. It's better to look on image attacheted to understand. I wish to know the better and easiest way to solve it or <code> example ! Thanks

May I ask, why you're not simply using the option to rename the "Children" tab to "Item List", where you can sort the children directly without detour?

But You can surely do it like that as well.

Create a hook like this one, but use Pages::saved instead of saveReady: https://processwire-recipes.com/recipes/extending-page-save-process/

Get the fields data and use some of those snippets to save the new sorting: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3378-move-and-sort-pages-with-the-api/?p=33241

Because this field will not use only on parent page.

And i can't find out how to get post values to my fieldtype(page) after page saved (

Get the fields data! = how??

[LostKobrakai]

public function afterSaveReady($event) {

// Get the soon to be saved page object from the given event

$page = $event->arguments[0];

// Sample condition and changes

if($page->template == "myTemplate" && !$page->isTrash()){

$newSortedPages = $page->itemsList;

foreach($newSortedPages as $sortPage){

// insert snippet to save new sort value

}

}

}

Thanks!!!

but this code not works. 

I think it's because of $this->pages

 $newSortedPages = $page->itemsList;
             $i = 0;
             foreach($newSortedPages as $id){
               $item = $this->pages->get($id);
               $item->sort = $i;
               $item->save();
               $i++;
}

The foreach does already give you $item, no need to retrieve it again.

Thanks. All is works!!! But it's maybe usefull to know for how to get wire('pages')

[LostKobrakai]

Exactly like you did mention it: $this->pages or wire('pages').
