PW3 - Display Site Preferences Field Content

[ridgedale]

Reference: PW 3.0.62 and uikit3 based site using the Regular-Master profile.

I've setup a hidden page and template (sitePreferences - with no associated template file) containing site-wide preferences/settings, however I can't get the field content to display.

I've tried the following which either display nothing or break the site:

<?php echo $item->siteChairperson; ?>    <-- nothing gets displayed
<?php echo $field->siteChairperson; ?>    <-- nothing gets displayed
<?php =page()->siteChairperson ?>    <-- breaks site
<?php echo $field = $fields->get('siteChairperson'); ?>    <-- displays the text siteChairperson instead of the name.
<?php =sitePreferences()->siteChairperson?>    <-- breaks site
<?php echo $field->get($siteChairperson); ?>    <-- breaks site

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Further extensive research revealed the solution to be to use the following code referring to the Page path and field reference rather than the field reference:

<?php echo $pages->get("/site-prefs")->siteChairperson; ?>

or

$sitePrefs = $pages->get("template=sitePreferences");
echo $sitePrefs->siteChairperson;
//etc..

 

[Klenkes]

or

echo $pages->get(1234)->siteChairperson;// where 1234 is the id of the settings page
