Paradox

[DaveP]

<?php
	$parent_page = $pages->get('/path/to/parent/');
	echo "<p>{$parent_page->title}->numChildren {$parent_page->numChildren}</p>";
	echo "<p>{$parent_page->title}->children->count {$parent_page->children->count()}</p>";
?>

(My parent page is called 'Sites'.)

Would, you'd think, generate the same number of children for both methods of determining that number (wouldn't it?).

Any ideas, or am I being stupid (again)?

numChildren is returning all pages and children->count is returning only the published pages

There was exactly same question 1 week ago... ok again

http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2584-numchildren-vs-children/?hl=%2Bnumchildren+%2Bcount

$page->numChildren

returns ALL children count.

count($page->children);
//or 
$page->children->count();

return only viewable pages by the user, which mean NOT: unpublished, hidden or non-accessible pages.

Soma, maybe this could be added in the cheatsheet?

Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the duplicate question.
