Page (SELF) not saved in Page Reference

[NoremPload]

Hi,

I try to use a page reference to make an overview site, but i cannot select (save) the page i use the field on.

-page 1
-- article 1
-- article 2
-page 2
-- article 3
-- article 4

all templates of the pages are selected in selectable templates in field definition.

i am on page 1 and i want to select page 1 as reference. i can select all pages, but if i save, all pages are there (if i select all of them) but not page 1.

anyone can help, or is this the way it should be?

It turns out PW doesn't allow that.

/**
 * Return PageArray of selectable pages for this input
 * 
 * @param Page $page The Page being edited
 * @return PageArray|null
 * 
 */
public function ___getSelectablePages(Page $page) {
    // ...

    if($children && $children->has($page)) {
        $children->remove($page); // don't allow page being edited to be selected
    }

    return $children; 
}

Oh, thanks for the fast answer.

I'll have to find a workaround. I'll add a radio "include_child_pages" then.

THX!

Hmm, you can forcibly add it using this hook, though, (not tested)

// site/ready.php

wire()->addHookAfter('InputfieldPage::getSelectablePages', function (HookEvent $e) {
    $e->return->add($e->arguments(0));
});

Yeah because if you reference a page in it self, it would create a endless reference.

Like @Soma said, I guess this is for preventing circular references when using the field in selectors. It's better if you add it manually in your code

See ryan's comment on this here. Check teppo's module as a workaround.
