PageList and "select Attribute" - how to get selected value?

Permalink
I added "select" attribute to group of pages and create pagelist custom template.

Now I want to print inside the view.php of [page list] block - the name of the "selected" option (one or more)

Example: Page list like this (each page list item - echo the subject)

You will need to create a custom template for the PageList block. You do this by creating a directory in /application/blocks which would be called page_list then create a templates directory inside of that. Now go to the /concrete/blocks/page_list and copy the view.php into your /application/blocks/page_list/templates directory and rename it, the name will determine what the custom template will be called (i.e. test_template = Test Template). Then make your changes to that file and apply the custom template to the block you are using.

To get the value of a select attribute within the PageList Custom Template you would do something like this

echo $page->getAttribute('select_attribute_handle');

Sorry, you didn't say it was a multi select attribute, you'll need to do this instead

$attributeOptions = $page->getCollectionAttributeValue('attribute_handle');
foreach($attributeOptions as $option){
    echo $option->value;
}

Hi Siton - dropped you a PM.

Just wondering if you would be willing to share how you managed this. I would love to be able to create a filterable page list but I have had a look and simply dont have the skills to do it?

I have one on 5.6 and am upgrading a site and am stuck as how to get that functionality

Thanks

You need to create custom template + page attributes to "filter by". Than adapt the right syntax of the specific JS library you choose and added to you project - some filter js:
http://isotope.metafizzy.co/
http://mixitup.kunkalabs.com/
http://getuikit.com/docs/grid-js.html...

Sorry, Its impossible to explain how to do this in forum post (long topic). Try use google/youtube to find "how to" or tut about "custom template" & js + download some addons that use js (galleries, dropdowns navs ect.) and try to learn this issue.

I send you by email Example.

This didn't work for me in version 8.1.0. Here is what I came up with that will get the selected values as an array in case it can be of any use to anyone else. 

if (
            !is_null($page->getCollectionAttributeValue('attr_nm')) &&
            !is_null($page->getCollectionAttributeValue('attr_nm')->getSelectedOptions()) &&
            !is_null($page->getCollectionAttributeValue('attr_nm')->getSelectedOptions()->getValues())
        ) {
            $values = (
                array_map(
                    function ($row) {
                        return $row->getSelectAttributeOptionValue();
                    },
                    $page->getCollectionAttributeValue('attr_nm')->getSelectedOptions()->getValues()
                )
            );
        }

Thanks so much for posting this - I couldn't find it documented anywhere (like much of C5) how to do this!
