Pull field data from different page?

[patzer]

Can I pull data from a field on a different page? If so, how? Thanks!

Of course you can...

$pages->get(page_ID)->name_of_field

[patzer]

Great! Works perfectly. How can I easily find the page_ID of any page? (1 is obvious, but maybe not the others?)

you can look in the browser URL when you roll the mouse over the edit link for a page;

Just so you know....you are not limited to getting the field by getting the other page by its ID...(though that's easiest and safest because it doesn't change...)....you can get it by path, name, title....

Study the cheatsheet, especially the $pages and Selectors parts http://cheatsheet.processwire.com/

I almost never pull pages by ID. The whole readability factor of $pages->get('/path/to/page/'); is well worth the compromise for me most of the time. But it's true that using ID is more bulletproof because it'll keep working even if you later move the page. But I usually choose readability (and I don't move stuff around very often).
