Can't echo out page title (="$") on frontend

[hellomoto]

I have a price_currency field that references child pages of a page Currency. Its names are three-letter currency codes, and the titles are symbols: $, euro and pound. I tried inputting both $ and $ as the title instead for $ to see if it would echo; it's not. How can I get these values to appear?

$item->price_currency outputs the ID, but $item->price_currency->name doesn't even work either...

you should maybe reference the name which is already the 3 letter code;

the title also can be the same uppercase code;

where you are echoing you could use a function to convert to the right entity

function get_cur_symbol($price,$cur) {
    $symbol = '';

    switch($cur) {
        case 'USD': return '$'.$price;   break;
        case 'AUD': return 'AU$'.$price;   break;
        case 'CAD': return 'CA$'.$price;   break;
        case 'GBP': return '£'.$price;   break;
        case 'JPY': return '¥'.$price;   break;
        case 'EUR': return '€'.$price;  break;
        case 'CHF': return 'C'.$price;   break;
        case 'CZK': return 'K'.$price;   break;
        case 'DKK': return 'k'.$price;   break;
        case 'HKD': return '圓'.$price; break;
        case 'HUF': return 'F'.$price;   break;
        case 'SGD': return 'S$'.$price;   break;
        case 'NOK': return 'k'.$price;   break;
        case 'NZD': return '$'.$price;   break;
        case 'PLN': return 'z'.$price;   break;
        case 'SEK': return 'k'.$price;   break;
    }
}

Yeah that's what I was going to do. I will.

But why is that happening? I just tested another template type I have, renamed the title to '$' (sans quotes) and it appeared on the frontend...

[hellomoto]

It's the pages themselves or the field. I changed their titles to their names and still can't get them. Couldn't get the names anyway.

$item->price_currency returns page id like it should. $item->price_currency->title should give you what you are after.

If these don't work, then make sure you have single page reference for the field price_currency. If this $item->price_currency->first()->title works, then your field returns multiple pages (PageArray).

Thanks, apeisa. ->title is what I tried first... but, I never tried ->first()! Of course! That's what it was all along. That I should have known... at least...

Thanks a mil!

Better solution might be editing the field and have it return single page instead of PageArray - and then remove the first().
