[SOLVED] $pages->get("selector") only returns one page

[Hurme]

Hi,

I've been building my first Processwire page and everything has gone alright until I needed to call fields from some child-pages.

<?php foreach($pages->get("template=files") as $stuff) : ?>
	<?php print_r($stuff); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I'm using this just to test if things are working. I have 3 pages using "files" template, but this code only returns the first one I made. Changing the order of the pages does not affect this. I'd rather not delete the first page to test if it affects anything, as it has a lot of content already.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something really elementary here. I'm fairly experienced at building websites, but unfortunately not that experienced with PHP.

Hi @Hurme

$pages->get() returns Page or Null

https://processwire.com/api/ref/pages/get/

I guess that what are you looking for is $pages->find()

Hi,

Alas these pages need to be hidden from find, but if get can only retrieve one page at a time, then that would explain why this isn't going anywhere.

I'm guessing that they need to be put under a hidden parent and made visible themselves then?

Just do this:

$pages->find("template=files, include=hidden");

This topic can be marked as solved. The problem was simply me having wrong idea about how Get works.

Thanks Adrian and Zeka.
