Getting field name in the loop

[chuguruk]

Hi there,

I have no clue how to resolve this problem:

1. There is list of pages with users
2. There is list of pages with devices
3. In device template i have field "page" to select proper user
4. In front end I have table where I'm looping through devices displaying title and user id.

Problem: I can't display user name.

• <?=$device->user?>

   is displaying id of user (1114)

• <?php $user_name = $pages->get(1114); echo $user_name; ?>

   is displaying name correctly (not loop)

• <?php $user_name = $pages->get($device->user); echo $user_name; ?>

   - not working

How to display user name?

If 'user' is the name of your page field that holds the users, try

<?=$device->user->name?>
or
<?=$device->user->title?> // if you have a title field in the user template

This works only if the user page field is set to hold only one page.

Yeah, already tried that. Doesn't work.

This is my simplified code:

<?php
$source = $pages->get("/programs/"); 
$programs = $source->children();

foreach($programs as $program) {?>
				
<tr class="gradeX">
<td><?=$program->title?></td>
<td><?=$program->computer?></td> //shows page id
<td><?=$program->computer->title?></td> //doesn't show antything
<td class="center">4</td>
</tr>

<?}?>

"computer" is a page select field in program template connected to computer page.

I can:

• show computer page id
• manualy put that id in $computer = pages->get(2893);  and echo it's title <?=$computer->title?>

I can't:

• make that automatic

It should be working:

<?=$program->computer->title?> 

but it doesn't show anything.

Any ideas?

In the field settings for your computer page field, is this field set to hold multiple pages or a single page?

Problem solved! Thank You!

My pleasure.

If you set a page field to multiple pages and you only have one value you could get that with

<?=$program->computer->first()->title?>
