Properties 41

Take no arguments.

# __toString() Templates only: string; Returns the rendered HTML when the model is used in a string context.
# getPagesCount(): int; Get the number of pages in this unit
# getBook(): ?Book; Get the book for this unit
# getPages(): ?Collection; Get the pages of the unit
# getCustomFieldValues(): ?Collection<UnitCustomFieldValue>
# getCustomFields(): array; Get the custom fields for this entity
# getName(): ?string; Get the name for the active revision
# getOriginalFullPath(): string; Gets the original path for the entity without any custom URL applied This is the "other" style: it appends the full slug to the module path directly, without passing it as a route parameter. The root page resolves to the bare module path. Any other page whose full slug cannot be built returns an empty string, so callers can tell an unresolvable path apart from a valid one.
# getAssignedWorkflow(): ?Workflow; Get the workflow assigned to the record or entity
# hasAssignedWorkflow(): bool; Check whether the record has an assigned workflow
# getBranches(): Collection; Get the branches associated with the record
# getNumRevisionsWithoutBranch(): int; Get the number of revisions without branch
# getOriginalPath(): string; It's an alias and deprecated! Directly use getOriginalFullPath() instead.
# getOriginalFullSlug(): string; Gets the record's own canonical slug, built from the record's data and _ignoring_ any custom URL override. Like getFullSlug() it excludes the module path, has no leading slash, and includes ancestor slugs for hierarchical records — but it always reflects the record's real slugs rather than a custom URL. For a non-hierarchical record this equals the record's own getSlug() value. This default concatenates whatever the ancestor walk supplies and does not judge the segments: an ancestor with no slug of its own contributes an empty segment rather than failing. A model whose callers need to tell an unresolvable chain apart from a valid one should either return an empty string from an override, as Products\Models\ProductDescription does, or expose a separate check alongside it, as Pages\Models\BasePage::hasResolvableSlugChain() does.
# getFullSlug(): string; Gets the slug that addresses this record relative to its module — the portion of the URL that identifies the record itself, without the module path and without a leading slash. For a hierarchical record the slug includes the slugs of all of its ancestors joined with slashes. This is the effective slug: when a custom URL is set on the record, it _takes precedence and is returned_ here. The no-leading-slash shape describes the canonical value only. A custom URL is returned verbatim, and custom URLs are stored with a leading slash, so a record that has one returns /my-custom rather than my-custom; use getOriginalFullSlug() when you need the canonical shape unconditionally.
# getFullPath(): string; Gets the relative path that addresses this record within the site, including the module path and starting with a leading slash. This is the getFullSlug() value prefixed with the route under which the module is mounted. This is the effective path: when a custom URL is set on the record, it _takes precedence and is returned_ here. Returns an empty string when the record has no custom URL and getOriginalFullPath() cannot build one, so callers must treat an empty string as "no url" rather than as a path. Rendering it into markup or handing it to a cache or route helper would otherwise point the record at whatever the site serves at its root.
# getId(): ?int; The ID of the page
# getSlug(): ?string; The slug for the page, i.e. the url portion identifying the page. Does not include parent slugs or the module slug.
# getPublishAt(): ?DateTime; Date at which the page will be published or has been published
# getUnpublishAt(): ?DateTime; Date after which the page should not be shown anymore
# getPosition(): ?int; Position of the page in the list of pages at the same level (i.e. with the same parent)
# getCreated(): ?DateTime; Date at which the page was created
# getModified(): ?DateTime; Date at which the page was last modified
# getPublished(): ?DateTime; Date at which the page was published
# getSite(): ?Site; Site associated with the page
# getActiveRevision(): ?PageRevision; The active revision for the page
# getRevisions(): ?Collection<PageRevision>; Revisions for the page
# getLastRevision(): ?PageRevision; Get the last revision for the entity. If a revision has been added, this will be the newly added revision.
# getTags(): ?Collection<Tag>; Tags associated with the page
# getCategories(): ?Collection<Category>; Categories associated with the page
# isPublished(): bool; Determines if the record is published.
# getOwner(): ?User; The owner of the page, possibly having different access rights to the page.
# getLanguage(): ?Language; The language for the page
# getSeoSettings(): ?SeoSettings; The SEO settings for the page, like title, descriptions, robots and keywords
# getCustomUrl(): ?CustomUrl; Get the custom url used for the page. This will take precedence over the slugs of this page, parent page and the module.
# getFullPosition(): string; Get the full, dot-separated full position for hierarchical records
# getExternalId(): ?string
# isNewRecord() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check if the record is a new record
# isHierarchicalModel() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check whether a model is a hierarchical model, i.e. can have children
# isVersionedModel() Not in API & Jobs: bool; Check whether a model is versioned
# getHtml() Templates only: string; Gets the rendered HTML for the record using its layout template.

Methods 32

Take arguments. The API serialises only getters that need none.

# getCustomFieldValue(CustomField $customField): ?CustomFieldValue; Get the value for a custom field
# getCustomFieldValueByName(string $customFieldName): ?CustomFieldValue; Get the value for a custom field by the custom field name
# getCustomFieldContent(string $customFieldName): ?Content; Get the content for the custom field identified by the specified name
# getCustomFieldContentOrDefault(string $customFieldName): ?Content; Get the (default) content for the custom field identified by the specified name
# getCustomFieldBoolean(string $customFieldName, ?bool $default): ?bool; Get the (default) content of the custom field as boolean value
# getCustomFieldText(string $customFieldName, ?string $default): ?string; Get the (default) content of the custom field as text
# getCustomFieldImage(string $customFieldName): ?Image; Get the (default) image contained in the custom field
# getCustomFieldFile(string $customFieldName): ?File; Get the (default) file contained in the custom field
# hasCustomField(string $customFieldName): bool; Check if the entity has a custom field with the specified name
# getBranchRevisions(RevisionBranch $branch, ?int $limit, ?int $offset): Collection; Get the revisions for the provided branch, ordered by id ascending. Pass a limit/offset to fetch a bounded window instead of the full set — loading all revisions of a large branch exhausts memory.
# getNumBranchRevisions(RevisionBranch $branch): int; Get the number of revisions for the provided branch (COUNT query — does not hydrate)
# getRevisionsWithoutBranch(?int $limit, ?int $offset): Collection; Get the revisions without branch, ordered by id ascending. Pass a limit/offset to fetch a bounded window instead of the full set — loading all revisions of a record with a large history exhausts memory.
# getRevisionById(int $id): ?PageRevision; Get the revision with the specified id
# hasAreaWithName(string $areaName) Templates only: bool; Check if an area with the specified name exists for the active revision of the record
# getAreaType(string $areaName) Templates only: ?InputType; Get the input type for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaCategory(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the category for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaEditor(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the editor for the specified layout area, using the active revision of the record. Returns null if the area with the specified name could not be found.
# getAreaImage(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Image; Get the image for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaImageOrPlaceholder(string $areaName, int $width, int $height) Templates only: Image; Get the image for the component area with the specified name. Uses the active revision of the global component. If the image does not exist, get a placeholder image with the specified dimensions Will always return an image, even if it was not found (in that case, an empty image).
# getAreaFile(string $areaName) Templates only: ?File; Get the file for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaRecord(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Model; Get the record for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaRecords(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Collection; Get the records for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaText(string $areaName) Templates only: ?string; Get the text for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaValues(string $areaName) Templates only: array; Get the values for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaDate(string $areaName) Templates only: ?DateTime; Get a date for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaWidget(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Widget; Get the widget for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaComponent(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Component; Get the component for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaCollectionElements(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Collection; Get the component collection elements for the layout area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record
# getAreaHtml(string $areaName) Templates only: string; Get the rendered HTML for the component area with the specified name, using the active revision of the record. Adds live preview tags, if enabled.
# getAreaDefaultContent(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Content; Get the default content of the layout area. Uses the active revision of the global component. Will return a BlankContent if no content was defined.
# getAreaContentOrDefault(string $areaName) Templates only: ?Content; Get the content of the layout area, or the default content if no content exists. Uses the active revision of the global component. If no default content exists, a BlankContent will be returned.
# isAreaBlank(string $areaName) Templates only: bool; Check whether the layout area with the specified name has no usable content, using the active revision of the record. Reports the area as blank when the record has no active revision. Blank describes what is stored, not what renders: the answer comes from the stored content and never renders a template. An area can therefore be not blank and still render nothing — a record that was deleted or has no layout, a component or widget whose template outputs nothing, or text whose only content is a placeholder for a deleted image. To decide on the rendered output instead, test the result of getAreaHtml().
