Page field selection output not correct

[OllieMackJames]

in one template I use the page input field to get a link to another page on the site.

foreach($slides as $slide){
		$out .="<li>";
		// Check for an image
		if($slide->slide_image){
			$out .="<a href='{$slide->slide_link_url}'><img src='{$slide->slide_image->url}'></a>";
		} // endif
		// put the caption together from the title and textarea in the repeater
		$out .="<div class='orbit-caption'>";
		$out .="<a href='{$slide->slide_link_url}'><h3>{$slide->title}</h3></a>";
		$out .="<a href='{$slide->slide_link_url}'><p>{$slide->basic_textarea}</p></a>";
		$out .="</div>";
		$out .="</li>";
	}

So I have a field called: slide_link_url

Details tab: Single page (Page) or empty page (NullPage) when none selected

Input tab: select parent root

Label field: name

Input field type: PageListSelect+

Now in the output I see a link to /1006 which throws an 404 error

How can I get this to link to /name-of-page/

Hope this is clear enough, thanks!

You need to get the URL from the field:

$slide->slide_link_url->url;

But to make things a little less confusing, I would rename your field from slide_link_url to slide_page or something like that

By the way - I am not sure why this is in the Profields board - do you mind if I move it to general support or API?

PS Soma - I edited my mistake before your reply came through - wasn't trying to hide my initial mess

You miss the ->url.

You don't have to get the page like Adrian example as you already got the page.

adria, it is in this board, because if I am correct the page field option only exists with Profields, anyways, fine by me to move to a place where more people can benefit.

Page fields are about as core as anything in PW. PW without free Page fields would be unspeakable
