returned page title with this> - <inside ?

[bwakad]

Hello all,

I am sure someone must had this before.

I have a select field with options holding values from page titles.

My page title/name is for example: "this is my page";

I use echo $page->fieldname->name and the value;

the returned output is: "this-is-my-page".

Is there somewhere an option I have to use to make it normal spaces?

No, $page->name is used in the url of a PW page. Spaces are not allowed in a url. What you are probably looking for is $page->title.

No problem. Please note that ProcessWire (PW) automatically creates the name from the title you enter. You can see this on the settings tab of a page. Where you can also edit the name should the need arise.

PW pagename creation in the admin follows these rules: all characters except for these ASCII characters: "a-zA-Z0-9_." (not including the quotes) are removed. It also truncates the length to 128 characters. Spaces are turned into "-". Uppercase is getting lowercased and letters like "é" or "ô" are turned into "e" and "o", so:

title:Great Pagé ! -> name:great-page
