Get all roles of a template

[suntrop]

Hi all.

I have pages (templates) that are only accessible to certain users. Now I need to get all users that have view access to specific pages (they will get email when page updates).

I thought of something like this:

$template = wire('templates')->get($p->template);
$roles = $template->getRoles();
$users = wire('pages')->find('template=user, roles=' . $roles);

But it looks like getRoles() doesn't returns the roles for that template. Roles is an empty PageArray. What is wrong or is there another way to get those users?

The following works for me. You first have to enable 'Do you want to manage view and edit access.....' in the Access tab when editing that template.

//$t = $page->template;//if on this page
$t = $templates->get("skyscraper");
//echo $t->name . '<br>';//confirm we are looking at the right template

$tRoles = $t->getRoles();

foreach ($tRoles as $r) {
echo $r->name . '<br>';
}

getRoles() seem only to work if 'view pages' permission is enabled on that template for a role.

You could also iterate all users instead:

foreach($users as $u) {
        if ( $u->hasPermission('page-view', $page) ) // send email to $u->email
}

Thanks. Problem was, I thought I could get inherited roles as well. Perhaps I forgot access was managed by the parent page/template.

diogo's method works fine
