Filter pages section by current user

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

I have got the pagesdisplay plugin installed, and tested it with some of the example queries. All working great.

I am going with a page method, as I will probably need to use this elsewhere. I have this in my blueprint as my section:

primarySchools:
  headline: Primary schools
  type: pagesdisplay
  query: site.currentUser
  status: all
  create: false
  templates: school 
  image: false

And this in site/plugins/page-methods/index.php:

<?php

Kirby::plugin('mhd/page-methods', [
    'pageMethods' => [
        'currentUser' => function () {
          return $this->children()->filter(function($child) {
            return $child->mentor()->toUser() === kirby()->user();
         });
        }
    ]
]);

But am getting the following error:

The section “primarySchools” could not be loaded: Query result must be of type “Kirby\Cms\Pages”, “Kirby\Cms\Field” given

The pages I am filtering are all top level, and I need to do an additional filter on them as well (site.index.filterBy('schoolType', '==', 'primary'), which I have tried and works well), but it would be good to get the user filtering working.

This is in a user-specific blueprint using the method here: Different site blueprint depending on user - if that makes any difference, but I don’t think it would

=======================
UPDATE

I have tried this as my query (the first part works great):

query: site.index.filterBy('schoolType', '==', 'primary').currentUser

And this as the method:

Kirby::plugin('mhd/page-methods', [
    'pageMethods' => [
      'currentUser' => function () {
          return $this->mentor() == kirby()->user();
      }
    ]
]);

But then get this error:

**The section "primarySchools" could not be loaded:** Query result must be of type "Kirby\Cms\Pages", "null" given
