Problems with parent selecotrs

[Noel Boss]

Hi, anyone knows why this does not work?

$pages->find('parent|id='.$page);

Unless I miss something, this should find all children plus the current page, but it only finds children. 

I would like to use it as $expires for cacheing stuff. How do you expire chaches of the current page and all children?

Not really sure, but have you tried:

$all = $pages->find('parent_id|id=' . $page->id);

or you can always add it to the Pagearray using the add method:

$all = $pages->find("parent={$page}")->add($page);

Seems like a bug, or something that should be documented if "parent" is a special case for selectors. I opened a GitHub issue: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/838

As an alternative you can use OR-groups:

$pages->find("(id=$page), (parent=$page)")
