Return number of descendants (children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, …), optionally with conditions
Use this over the $page->numDescendants
property when you want to specify a selector or apply
some other filter to the result (see options for $selector
argument). If you want to include only
visible descendants specify a selector (string or array) or boolean true for the $selector
argument,
if you don’t need a selector.
If you want to find descendant pages (rather than count), use the Page::find()
method.
Example
// Find how many descendants were modified in the last week
$qty = $page->numDescendants("modified>='-1 WEEK'");
Usage
// basic usage
$int = $page->numDescendants();
// usage with all arguments
$int = $page->numDescendants($selector = null);
