Is it possible to search for a repeater item in a specific position?

[Jorge]

Hi.

I'm trying to accomplish something like this:

$entriesByArea = $admitted->find("areas[0].title='$area', sort=-average, limit=$limit");

I want to find items where the first item of the field areas (a repeater) has the title = $area.
Is this possible in any way?

Thank you.

You could use a hidden field in the template to store the title of the first repeater item, similar to this:

Or you could match the repeater page by sort position and then get the containing page for each matched repeater page.

$items = $pages->find("template=repeater_areas, title=$area, page.sort=0, check_access=0");
$results = new PageArray();
foreach($items as $item) {
	// Get root page that contains the repeater page
	$result = $item->getForPageRoot();
	// Maybe do some checks on $result page here, for example if you only want pages that have a particular template
	$results->add($result);
}

Hi @Robin S.

I've used a new PageArray as you suggested.

Thank you.
