How to list content of fields?

[justnew77]

Hi,

my site have a page that I use as an container. Name CONTAINER.

CONATINER has children. Each of them has fields in it.

What I want ist this:

On an other page I want to list all the content of the fields from

CONTAINER children.

How can I do that?

In MODx there was a plungin called getResources to do that. How it is here?

[Martijn Geerts]

MODX with getResource is slow & inflexible compared to ProcessWire, take a look at this traversing heaven. 

Something like this might work:

foreach($pages->get('/CONTAINER/')->children as $p) {
	foreach($p->fields as $f) {
		echo $p->$f . "<br>";
	}
}

Hm...that seems not to work?! Nothing happend!

[Martijn Geerts]

There was a bug in the code sorry.

Maybe it's better to explain what i've done.

// get the parent         // the children of the page under www.your-domain.com/container/
$pages->get('/CONTAINER/')->children <-- this is a page array

// now you can foreach this, because it is an array.
$children = $pages->get('/CONTAINER/')->children;

foreach($children as $p) {      
    $all_fields = $p->fields; // fields are all the fields in the template from this page. (array)

    foreach($all_fields as $f) { // every field $f
        echo $p->$f . "<br>"; // $p, the page in the `outerloop`, $f all fields in $p
    }

}

Sorry but i stuck a litte bit with that. Can you please write the complete code to retrieve the data?

[Martijn Geerts]

Where is /CONTAINER/ located ? And what are the names of your fields ?

(ps, it's a good practice to lowercase all page names  )

[justnew77]

Hm, sorry it retrieves nothing. Nothing appears!

[diogo]

To get content from a field of one children page that you know the name, do this;

echo $page->get("parent=$page, name=name-of-page")->field;
 

To get more fields do this:

$myPage = $page->get("parent=$page, name=name-of-page")->field;

echo $myPage->field1;

echo $myPage->field2;
 

To get the fields from all children do as Martijn pointed out. Basicly, you will be looping through all the children, and extract the fields from each one of them. An important thing to know is that get() get's one page and you can immediately retrieve the fields, while find() gets a group of pages and you only have access to their properties when you iterate them (with foreach() for instance.)

[justnew77]

Fieldname 1 is "folgeTitel",

Fieldname 2 is "folgeYT"

The pagename is "video-container" (i adapted it in the code trys)
It is located in:

Home

|_Site 1

|_Site 2
|_video-container

The "data-pages" are childs from video-container

[Martijn Geerts]

$items = $pages->find('parent=/video-container/'); // find retrieves an Pagearray while get gets 1 page object.

foreach($items as $item) {

echo $item->folgeTitel . '<br>';

echo $item->folgeYT . '<br>';

}

[diogo]

foreach($pages->get("/video-container/")->children as $p) {
    echo $p->folgeTitel . "<br>";
    echo $p->folgeYT . "<br>";
}
 

edit: Well, now you have two answers... find the differences

[Martijn Geerts]

Lol

[justnew77]

Yes, Martijn, that works. Thank you for your great support.

[Martijn Geerts]

And diogo ?

[diogo]

I got a like already

[justnew77]

Hi there,

I got a new field (an image field, only 1 images allowed)

The problem now is that the images can not display becauese the field contains only the filename and NOT the path.

 echo "<img src='{$item->folgePic}'>";

What can I do to recieve the full path and name?

[diogo]

You should definitely read the docs...

$item->FolgePic->url
