field role does not exist

[Frank Vèssia]

Ryan, referring to your example in new user system i'm trying to get some users using this code:

$role  = wire('roles')->get("superuser"); 
$users = wire('users')->find("role=$role,sort=name");

but i get this strange error:

ProcessWire Error:Exception: Field does not exist: role (in /home/videog/public_html/wire/core/PageFinder.php line 244)

It's a typo, where did you find it? I'd like to correct it. It should be:

$users = wire('users')->find("roles=$role,sort=name");

Note "roles=" (plural) above, not "role=". There is no built-in field called "role" in ProcessWire so the error message you got is correct that the field does not exist.

i copied from here:

The wrong code appears two times before the screenshots.

Thanks, I've fixed that. That particular post was written before the new user system was, so those code examples were approximations but still want to keep them correct.
