subfield-selector for guest problem

[martind]

hello,

i try to use a subfield-selector to find pages with tagged files (downloads) inside a repeater (content_blocks):

wire('pages')->find("template=basic-page, content_blocks.downloads.tags!=''");

now, this works as expected when i'm loggedin as superuser, but not as guest. it behaves like no subfield-selector than .count is possible for loggedOut users. any idea what the problem is?

ProcessWire 3.0.123
PHP Version 7.0.32

thanks,
martin

I believe that is because repeaters store their pages under a different section in the admin tree(Admin>Repeaters>name_of_repeater) which isn't publicly accessible to guests.  I think you have to add check_access=0 to your find selector?  See https://processwire.com/docs/selectors/#access_control

Hope that helps

try:

wire('pages')->find("template=basic-page, content_blocks.downloads.tags!='', check_access=0");

thank you both.

neither check_access=0 nor include_all=1 works here (even in the field settings, the access-toggle for api usage is set true for both, content_blocks repeater and downloads) . instead i got it working (for both, suberadmin and guest) by doing it like that (similar to Cengiz' solution from the post below):

wire('pages')->find("template=basic-page, content_blocks=content_blocks.downloads.tags!='', check_access=0");

maybe this has some impact on further usage of the including function, but for this case it works. Any tips are welcome for a more certain syntax.
