Template::getRoles() method

Get the role pages that are part of this template

  • This method returns a blank PageArray if roles haven’t yet been loaded into the template.
  • If the roles have previously been loaded as an array, then this method converts that array to a PageArray and returns it.
  • If you make changes to returned roles, make sure to set it back to the template again with setRoles(). It’s preferable to make changes with addRole() and removeRole() methods instead.

Usage

“We were really happy to build our new portfolio website on ProcessWire! We wanted something that gave us plenty of control on the back-end, without any bloat on the front end - just a nice, easy to access API for all our content that left us free to design and build however we liked.” —Castus, web design agency in Sheffield, UK
