Selector nested

[Frank Vèssia]

Hi, I need to select pages with a specific selector, going back to parent and find values inside two pagefields.
I can obtain pages with first pagefield like

$pages->find("parent.pagefield.name=value");

but I need to go deeper with
 

$pages->find("parent.pagefield.pagefield.id=value");

Any idea how to get this?

--------------------------------------------

Solved in this easy way:
 

$var = $pages->find("pagefield=value");
$pages->find("parent.pagefield=$var");

That's why I love PW

Hi,

Another way to do this is to use subselectors, which were introduced in Processwire 2.5.

The code would then be:

$pages->find("parent.id=[pagefield1.pagefield2.field=value]");

I love subselectors...

I would suggest reading this blog post, which lists all new stuff in Processwire 2.5. There are so many things, it's really impressive. I have actually bookmarked it due to all the really useful new functions.

The subselectors are in the section "Selectors", which doesn't appear in the top navigation, but comes just after "Sanitizer" and just before "Session".

New additions arrived in April 2014

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3768-processwire-dev-branch/?p=58722 (grouping)

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3768-processwire-dev-branch/?p=64049 (or-groups and sub-selectors)

And are now documented here: http://processwire.com/api/selectors/ (but still missing grouping)

• OR-groups: matching one group of selectors or another
• Sub-selectors: selectors within selectors

after years working on PW it's always a bit difficult get in mind all the new stuff inside new versions, but it's a pleasure of course
