Blueprint - pages field - filter by template

Kirby 4 Solved ✔️

I’m trying to write a Blueprint. I have a pages field to allow the editor to select a page. Rather than display all the pages in the website, I’d like to just display/list the pages that use a particular template. Here’s my code, but the pop-up window says “No pages to select”.

title: Project Blueprint

fields:
	produces:
		label: Linked product
		type: pages
		query: site.pages.template('product-template')

Is this something to do with child pages? I’ll try and explain the structure:

Parent page PROJECTS has PROJECT subpages. There is also a PRODUCTS parent page with PRODUCT subpages (that use the product-template template). I need to link project pages with the relevant product pages.

Don’t know why but this works:

query: site.index.template('product-template')
3

Because this queries all pages of the site, which is not such a good idea (not such a big problem with small sites, but the more pages you have, the worse the performance). Better to use

query: kirby.page('products').children
4

query: site.children.listed.template('product-template')

You can also use this. With the two differences that only published children pages can be selected and no pages from the top level.

5

This will query only pages of the first level, not the children of the products page.

Our answers have overlapped :sweat_smile:
What is the disadvantage of my version?

/content
  page-1 // this level will be queried by site.children
    subpage-1 // this level will not be included in site.children
  page-2
    subpage-of-two.

This works, but I now get the arrows in the pop-up, as if there are children of these pages (there aren’t). Is there a way not to show the arrows?

This doesn’t work:

query: kirby.page('products').child

This seems to work, but is it a little verbose?

query: kirby.page('products').children
subpages: false

But if there are no subpages, those arrows are disabled anyway?

But yes, to get rid of the arrows, setting subpages: false is the way to go.
