has() selector like JQuery

[PHPSpert]

It would be nice if ProcessWire had a has() selector like JQuery does. For example, so we could do this:

$pages->get("template=accounts")->has("created<=" . strtotime("-1 days"));

Is there something like that already or has it not been added?

[WillyC]

$pages->get("template=accounts, created<=-1 day");

[PHPSpert]

$pages->get("template=accounts, created<=-1 day");

Understood, but what if you want to get a page with children with a specific attribute?

Maybe more specifically:

$pages->get("template=accounts")->hasChild("created<=" . strtotime("-1 days"));

[Martijn Geerts]

maybe:

 

$pages->find("parent.template=accounts, created<=-1 day");

 

Didn't read your post very well

$pages->find('created<=yesterday')->first()-> parent()

Greetings,

Soma!  I didn't know this was possible...  Thanks for pointing this out.

Just another example of how, with ProcessWire, you just need to ask the question to get a (great) answer.

Thanks,

Matthew

$pages->find('created<=yesterday')->first()->parent()

or shorter:

$pages->get('created<=yesterday')->parent()

Edit: but these will return only the parent of one of the pages created in that time, not all of them.

I think that these guys posted the best solutions for what you are trying to do, since they cause the operation to take place before page is actually loaded. But if you do have a need for a comparison function such as that, you can use $page->is("selector") or $page->matches("selector"); which are similar to what you were looking for with a has() method. When used with a selector, both of the functions do the same thing. The only difference with is() is that you can also send it a template name, like $page->is("product"); or a status like $page->is(Page::statusHidden). Both functions return a boolean true or false.

$pages->find('created<=yesterday')->first()-> parent()

I seriously didn't know this was possible.

I guess if you're looking for a parent from multiple levels you could do

$pages->find('created<=yesterday')->parents()->get("template=top"); // This obj exists so that means the children exist...

NICE!

You can also use the last get() selector inside the parents() and remove get() on the end. It new in 2.3 to use selector with parents in think and you can now also use closest(selector).

But using find() in your example and then parents() will not work because find always returns a page array and parents needs one page object. Instead of find you could use a get() like diogo showed.
