Custom Page Class recursion issue

Hey all. I'm having an issue with the new custom page classes feature which is a fantastic tool.

I am running into a recursion issue when attempting to call a custom page class. I have a class called BlogPostPage.php (for blog-post.php) which contains a method called getSummary(). That method gets a summary field or truncates the body in it's absence. I've attached photos of the template code, custom page class code (which I've simplified for testing), and the PW output error.

There is no recursion in the getSummary() method. This error occurs whether I output multiple blog posts in a loop or if I output one blog post with no looping in my template code.

In use:
ProcessWire 3.0.164 dev
PHP 7.3.13

I am also using the Template Engine Twig module which has not caused any errors or issues thus far.

Many thanks!

Not quite sure what's causing the recursion error, but your method is marked private, which means it can't be called from outsite. Because your page class extends Page which extends Wire which comes with a magic __call method that will be invoked in this case. That method tries to figure out what you're trying to do, since it's supposed to provide easy access to properties and methods of all Wire extending objects. The error call stack indicates there's something going wrong there. Making your getSummary method public should fix the issue!

Changing the method visibility fixed the issue. I don't know how I overlooked it.

This is officially the most embarrassing thing I've posted on any support board... ever. Ha! That was totally an accident as I've written other page classes and minded the private/public declaration.

Hope this ends up helping others!

Thanks!

It happens to all of us 😄  This is actually why I dislike the use of the magic methods like __call, because they make tiny mistakes like this harder to spot ... without the magic, this would just result in a clear, easy to fix error message, but with it it's way harder to figure out what's going on.

      Exception: Page is not currently viewable when using $page->children('include=all') and role cannot page-edit
      By SwimToWin
      I have a nested page structure that fails for users without superuser permissions:
      Works for superusers / non-superusers:
          - foo
          -- bar
          --- page (status: published)
          ---- page (status: published)
          --- page (status: published)
      Fails for non-superusers (Works for superusers):
          - foo
          -- bar
          --- page (status: published)
          ---- page (status: published)
          --- page (status: unpublished <- apparently the template structure fails when there's one unpublished page)
      Template:
      <?php foreach ($page->children('include=all') as $p): #Fails for non-superusers ?> <?=$p->render()?> <?php endforeach; ?>     a) Works for non-superusers when I grant Page Edit permissions (on the template) to their assigned role/s.
          b) When I remove 'include=all' or 'include=unpublished' then it also works for non-superusers:
      <?php foreach ($page->children() as $p): #Works for non-superusers ?> <?=$p->render()?> <?php endforeach; ?> Error message (non-superusers)

      Error when creating new user

      I'm hoping someone has seen this before. There doesn't appear to be an issue with the user info.

      Cryptic Error Message When trying to Delete Images On a Page (PW 3.0.139)(Solved)
      By EyeDentify
      Hello Dear PW Gurus.

      Hope you fair well in these Corona Crisis times.

      Anyhow, i have a problem with a Cryptic error message that shows up when i am trying to Delete images out of a Images field.
      The Error message does say a little but it does not make sense to me why i can´t delete the images because of it.

      Is it some permission issue perhaps?

      I will attach screenshots of it and what i did prior to it.
      I am from sweden so ignore the funny words here and there.

      Hope you all can send me on the right track.
      i am running PW 3.0.139 on this install.

      Step1:

      Step 2: Select the images with the trashcan symbol

       
      Step 3: Cryptic Error message

      I am scratching my head on this one, have not seen this before.

      Thankfull for all help.

      How to detect if a template form has errors in it?
      By VeiJari
      Hello forum. I'm trying to figure out how to detect if current form has errors after saving it in pw admin page. This is so that our event location isn't added in database if we detect errors. But I can't seem to find a correct way to detect errors? I only found the wire()->errors() and it always triggers even if I don't have any errors. 
      How can I detect errors in a form?
      By error I mean $page->error('this is the red error');

      no site configuration or install.php available
      By DevCat
      Hi,
      I'm trying to install ProcessWire on XAMPP localhost. I extracted the zip and put the files from master folder to website directory folder and when I go there with Firefox it says 404 page not found (no site configuration or install.php available). At least install.php surely is there. I'm doing WordPress installations on localhost almost every day and no problems. Does anyone here know what is cause for this error?
