Get the page object from a given field value

Continuing the discussion from AutoID Plugin (create unique page ids):

Hello,
is there a way to achieve the page object from a given field value?

I like to use the autoId plugin from @helllicht which autocreate a unique ID for each entry.

fields:
  relatedprojects:
    label: Related Projects
    type: checkboxes
    options: query
      query:
        fetch: siblings
        value: '{{autoid}}'
        text: '{{title}}'

Then I would like to output the related page as a page object to have access to all field items.

<?php $member = $child->relatedprojects()->toPage() ?>
<?php echo $member->title() ;?>
<?php echo $member->local_adress() ;?>

That was possible when I used url as query value

options: query
  query:
    fetch: siblings
    value: '{{uri}}'
    text: '{{title}}'

Is there another way to achieve the page object?

You could use find:

$member = $page->siblings()->findBy('id', $value);

Thanx texnixe for fast reply,
But it’s not working, I have it like this:

<?php $memberId = $child->member(); ?>
<?php $member = $child->find('autoid', $memberId); ?>
<?php echo $member->title() ;?>

For the ->find() method has the page to be in the same page collection?

What is $child in your example? It needs to be collection; since you are fetching related pages from the page’s siblings, you have to search for the page in the same collection.

5

It is the home page witch shows some featured events:

<?php $children = $pages->find('aktuell')->children()->visible() ?>
<?php if($children->count()) : ?>
<ul class="pure-g thumbs">
<?php foreach($children as $child):  ;?>

In each event I have the ID queried from a related member to fetch the name, the adress … and so on.
So, the the related pages are in different folder

6

So, “Traces of Memory” is one such event, right? And which of the pages in the tree could then be a related page? Any?

7

Any member in netzwerk could be related. The member are mostly also the organizer of an event.

8

Then you should be able to get the right page by querying the grandchildren of “Netzwerk”

page('netzwerk')->grandchildren()->findBy('id', $value());
9

hmm, it still not working

<?php $memberId = $child->member(); $allmember = $pages->find('netzwerk')->grandChildren(); //$allmember does output the list of grandchildren $member = $allmember->find('autoid', $memberId); ?>

is it correct ->find('id', $memberId) or ->find('autoid', $memberId) – both is not working?!

10

What is the name of the field that contains the autoid? If it is called “autoid”, use autoid.

$memberID must be a string, so you will have to use $child->member()->value().

:grinning: Now it works! But with ->findBy() and I changed

$pages->find('netzwerk')->grandChildren()...

to

<?php $member = $site->index()->findBy('autoid', $child->member()->value()) ;?>

I hope there is no performance loss by searching the whole index or is it better to delimit the search?
Thanx a lot for your help! @texnixe

12

Yeah, you are right, should of course have been findBy(), I corrected it above.

13

Searching the whole index can take a while for large sites, so it’s indeed recommended to exclude all pages that you know won’t match (meaning: only include those you know can match):

Like Sonja wrote:

page('netzwerk')->grandchildren()->findBy('autoid', $child->member()->value());

I thought so. That was it all about: to use the AutoId plugin, to avoid calling the path, if some name will change for seo reasons or so. But I guess the main folder naming should consist for a while…
I wrote it now like Sonja – I didn’t knew that I could write page('somepage') instead of $pages->find('somepage').
I learned so much again. thanx for the great support!
Is there a way to protect the url in the panel?

In Kirby 2.3 their will be an blueprint option for that: https://getkirby.com/docs/panel/blueprints/options

That sounds good to me! :relaxed:
