Page selector referencing template of pages in a page field

[snck]

Hi there,

I have a problem constructing a selector that finds all pages that refer to pages with a specific template.

I have pages using an event template and I want to show events based on a specific context. In this example I want to filter the results and only show event pages that relate to a specific template (exhibitions) in their page field related_pages.

What I tried:

$events = $pages->find("template=event, related_pages.template.name=exhibition");

Unfortunately it does not work (0 results).

Same with this:

$events = $pages->find("template=event, related_pages=[template.name=exhibition]");

At the moment I am helping myself with the following lines, but I have a strong feeling that there is a more efficient solution:

$events = $pages->find("template=event");

foreach($events as $event){
  if(!count($event->related_pages->find("template=exhibition"))){
  	$events->remove($event);
  }
}

 

I really hope that one of you can help me out.

Thanks in advance!

Works fine for me. ProcessWire 3.0.153 dev

Strange... Could it have something to do with the fact that related_pages (in my case) takes multiple pages?

Please check status and/ or permission

$events = $pages->find("template=event, related_pages.template.name=exhibition,include=all,check_access=0");

• include=hidden
• include=unpublished
• include=all

Check if your template is accessible via API if it is not viewable for the current user!
