Pagetable field renders items from parent instead of other selected parent

[Juergen]

Hello @ all,

I have included 2 pagetable fields in a template. The first is for the child pages (events), the other one should render pages from another parent page (prices).

As you can see "eventpriceitem" template is selected as the template for the pagetable field. Below I have choosen the page "Event prices" as parent.  The pagetable field renders also children items too.

All the items with the blank value are children (events) of the page and not part of the price page. I dont know why the page table field renders also items which are not part of the parent (Event prices), because I have choosen this page as parent.

Is it possible that 2 pagetable fields are not allowed?

Hi @Juergen - sorry, not sure about your issue, but looking at the contents of your page table, I couldn't help but think this new module by @BitPoet could be a much nicer replacement:

Unfortunately I cannot use this module:   InnoDB database engine needs to be used

I dont know if it works if I change the db type in $config->dbEngine . I dont want to crash the site.

I'm not sure if my module would really fit this task, as this seems a rather straight-forward use of page tables while JsonNativeField is for free-form key-value storage per page without constraints. It's also a few weeks from being complete enough to use in a real world scenario.

As for switching database engine: changing an existing database is a little more involved than just changing a config entry. I wrote a script to automate the conversion a while ago:

I can confirm jüergen's observation (PW 3.0.35, but had it already in earlier versions). No second page table field present.

Yes I also use PW 3.0.35, but its the first time I have tried to use 2 pagetable fields in 1 template. So I am not able to say if it had been working in lower versions.

Since in my case there is only one pagetable field, I don't think that it matters that you have two of them.

Strange enough, I think I had this issue a while ago and found a workaround - but don't remember what I did...
