Hello,
how would I do a multi-language website search with just a selector?
I have many multi-lang fields and I want to do a search through all of them at once and through all of their language values.
Is there a "selector way" of doing this? Maybe something like `title|title:de|title:it`? It seems I have seen this somewhere a long time ago but can't find in any documentation or forum search...
Or the only way of doing it is by running separate searches for each language with output formatting off and then consolidating it all in one single results array?
Because I still want to give users a result, even if it is in another language than current $user. Visitors mostly will be searching for specific terms that are very similar in all languages, but might be not used in one language version of a single page, for example. Or the user might not have switched language tohis prefered and did the search first, etc.. (many use cases in my situation)
Example:
$pages->find('title~='.$q) - maybe different operator is needed? /en/search/?q=visit = 1 results /it/search/?q=visit = 0 results Thanks for any advice!

I'm having and always have a hard time building PaginatedArrays, I never know where to put the "limit=24" selector so please enlighten me.
Here's what I'm doing…
$categories = $page->protable('start=0, limit=999999'); // this I need in order to retrieve the pages's "categories" and I don't know how to make use of $rows instead for that purpose because of this confusing limit-API $rows = $page->protable; // put ("limit=20") here? $custom = buildSelector($input, $rows); // this function returns an array of selectors depending on the user input $items = new PaginatedArray; // or here? // or here? $items->find("limit=20") // or like this? $items("limit=20") // or like this? $items = $items("limit=20") // or like this? $items = $items->find("limit=20") foreach ($rows as $r) : if ($custom->get('selector')->matches($r)) : $items->add($r); endif; endforeach; // or at this point? and then
if ($items) { // or maybe somewhere here? echo '<span class="grey">'.$items->getPaginationString(array( 'label' => 'entries', 'zeroLabel' => '0 entries', // 3.0.127+ only 'usePageNum' => false, 'count' => count($items), 'start' => $items->getStart(), 'limit' => count($items), 'total' => $items->getTotal() )); and then of course…
$pager = $modules->get("MarkupPagerNav"); echo '<div class="uk-flex uk-flex-center">'.$pager->render($items, $options).'</div>'; I'm out of ideas and confused cause it doesn't make sense to me either way.

The buildSelector function above returns and array…
$selected = new Selectors("$letter, $searchterm, $category"); $custom = new Wirearray; $custom->set('selector', $selected); $built->set('sort', $sort); return $custom; and each of the new selectors are basically strings ("category=whatever")
Also, you cannot put the "sort=title" or whatever as a selector for the Selectors function (see above). Why, I know not.
I don't know if that is the proper way but selecting kind of works now as opposed to many other ways I tried. Selectors always require a lot of trial and error, it seems to have a very sensitive API, always depends on double quotes, single quotes and how you concatenate.
Thanks for help!

I opened a new wishlist topic on the PW forum for this and in the meantime I ask to the community looking for a reasonable solution.
Using the PageTable field, is there a way to un-restrict the creation of pages under a given parent template page (or as page children if no parent for items is selected)? That is, is there a way to allow the selection of the parent page dynamically / on the fly during page creation via the PageTable field?

I'm using the PW PageTable field extensively and I think an improvement to it could be made regarding the ability to choose the page parent where the page created via PageTable will reside.
Say you have a PageTable field set like this:
Edit Field: page_table_field > Details >
Select one or more templates for items
> template_one
> template_two
> template_three
Select a parent for items
> parent_template
Actually, you can only create pages under the parent_template page (or as page child if no parent for items is selected).
BTW I am looking for reasons about this limitation.
What about allowing to choose on the fly where the pages created via PageTable will reside? that is, having the possibility to choose dynamically under which parent page to create the pages?
Actually, one could overcome to this by creating multiple appropriately set PageTable fields, one PageTable field per PageTable parent for items, but this is unsustainable (?) when you want to create a lot using PageTable…
By allowing to choose dynamically / on the fly the parent page during page creation via the PageTable field would open up a wider usage of PageTable.
What do you think about?

Hello,
I've just upgraded to 3.0.165 (and updated my Ubuntu version as well) and on my localhost, I am facing a weird issue : all my requests having the ~= selector cause a Mysql error with this message :
PDOException #HY000 SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 3685 Illegal argument to a regular expression. I have no idea what is going on. If I change my request from
$visualizer = $pages->get("name~=visualizer"); // Triggers the error
to
$visualizer = $pages->get("name=visualizer");
or
$visualizer = $pages->get("name~*=visualizer");
My code works fine again.
Any idea ? Shall I change all my requests (but from what I understand by reading the documentation, ~= exists and fits my needs : all words in any order [though I do understand that in my example above it may be useless since I have only one word])
Thanks !
