find template=repeater_

[tkam]

Hey guys,

I have a repeater field called "products", which I use in a template called "series". There are several pages with the series template.
Now i'd like to make an ajax call to get all repeater items from the series pages, which works fine as long as I am logged in.

When I am logged out, this does not work:

$pages->find("template=repeater_products");

Any idea why?

Thanks, 

Tom

Ok, same as always... first I don't find a solution, then after a long while of searching I sign on for the forum to post a question.
Minutes later I find the solution myself. ?

$pages->find("template=repeater_products, check_access=0");

This does the trick. Can someone explain why?

Thanks,

Tom

Repeaters are pages placed under the admin which users of role "guest" cannot access due to the way access control works. It's a bit confusing because you don't think of repeater elements as pages per se, but since they actually are that, the same rules as for the rest of the pages apply, they are kind of "admin pages"

Hope I made myself clear!

Alright, thanks! I should read a bit more about access control. Is there a way to make the repeaters accessible as guest without using check_access=0 ?

If you are going to retrieve them using find() you will have to use check access, another possibility I can think of tight now is:

$pages->find('template=series')->explode('products');

But I guess not as practical because it returns an array of WireArrays.

Ok and yes you are right, the other way is more practical.
