Field Page: use children()

[Adam Kiss]

There seems to be no simple way to use pages children with the Page field. Only solution seems to be the custom PHP code, but that limits the inputfield options. I would think that this kind of usage for "featured" children is more common, but alas, I was wrong.

Is it possible to add this?

uses : custom seleactor to find selactable pages >>

``````

parent=page.id, sort=title

``````

or all ins tree below

``````

has_parent=page.id, sort=title

``````

Willy, that still limits the field options, no?

There are limits on field options no matter what route you take. Even a plain Select inputfield has limitations, in that it can't scale to thousands of items. The best bet is to find the solution that can select the pages you need to be selectable, then determine which of the available inputfields to use. There are lots of inputfield options in part because they aren't always interchangeable... each has their strengths and weaknesses.

Anyway, I think using page.id in selectors isn't anywhere in documentation, and it's actually probably much better than custom PHP code (just because I don't have to have any PHP code in DB)
