PageTable output at frontend

[Ralf]

Hello everybody,

i try me just on a new project an "assignment list" for my association. I built years ago a first version with php and mysql but now i want to switch to Processwire

My backend I have designed as follows:

Home

|- events (template events)

|    |- event

|    |- event (template event -> title, date, jobs (PageTable)

|

|- tasks

|- groups

|- places

The PageTable "jobs" has the template "job" (title, select_task, job_begin, job_end, select_place, staff_needed, select_group & participants). And now I have tried using the following code to output the test data:

$events = $pages->find('template=event, sort=date');
foreach($events as $event){
	$content .= strftime('%d.%m.%Y', $event->getUnformatted('date')) ." $event->title<br />";

	if($event->hasChildren > 0) {
	foreach($event->children as $child){
		$content .= "<li>\$child->url: <a href='{$child->url}'>$child->url</a> // \$child->id: $child->id // \$child->select_task: $child->select_task // \$child->select_task->title: $child->select_task->title // \$child->select_place: $child->select_place //<br> \$child->staff_needed: $child->staff_needed // \$child->participants->count: $child->participants->count // \$child->job_begin: $child->job_begin // \$child->job_end: $child->job_end // </li><br><br>";

		echo '<pre>';
			print_r($child);
		echo '</pre>';
		}
	}
}

the output you can see here: http://entwicklung.hungerberghexen.de/events/

My problem now is that with my code above i get not all values from the fields (it almost looks as if I would not be deep enough in the array?) e.g. "job_begin" & "job_end" -> work  -- but for "select_task" i get only the ID ?!

In advance thank you very much for any helpful hints

Select_task seems to be a multiple page field (PageArray). Either you change it to single page (Page) in the settings, or you loop through it and output all the results foreach($child->select_task as $task)

Hi diogo,

thanks for your fast answer.

Sorry but "select_task" has in the settings -> Single page (Page) or boolean false when none selected?!

And if i put your code behind the "print_r"

foreach($child->select_task as $task){
	$content .= $task->title;
}

i get this "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object..."

I found the mistake/ problem ... it were the curly braces

// it doesn´t work
$content .= "\$child->select_task->title: $child->select_task->title<br>";

// is working
$content .= "\$child->select_task->title (with {}): {$child->select_task->title}<br>";
