Page Reference Field: Defining Selectable Pages

[kalimati]

Hi,

For a Page Reference Field I would like to use filter something like this:

parent=$pages->findOne("template=mag-issue, sort=-created")

But I am not able to get it to work using the various options available to define selectable pages. Any idea where I could be going wrong or how to approach it.

Thanks.

Setting up the template selection to mag-issue and setting the field to single display under Details tab, and  the template setting under Selectable Pages under Input tab. What exactly is not working well? Watch out for hidden pages too!

I want the list to consist of articles (children) in the latest issue of a magazine (parent). But it matches 0 pages!

There is also a place to put a selector string right bellow that custom find option, try this selector (hope im understanding your issue correctly):

parent.template=mag-issuse, template=article, sort=-created

The site is structured this way:

mag-issue1
- article1
- article2
- article3
...
mag-issue2
- article1
- article2
- article3
...
mag-issue3
- article1
- article2
- article3
...
...

The idea is to select the children of the latest mag-issue as the selectable pages for the page reference field.
