Page Template Functions

Description

Retrieves page data on a specific page.

Syntax

$arrPage= eV::pageGet($pageId[,$fieldList]);

Paramaters

  • $pageId INT
unique database assigned page id of the page who's data you wish to retrieve.
  • $fieldList STRING (optional)
comma delimited list of field names you would like returned. leaving this value empty will return all fields, though this is not recommended as it could significantly reduce system performance. Page custom fields can be requested by prepending the custom field name with "custom_field_" (example: to include the "myVar" custom field, add "custom_field_myVar" to the $fieldList).

Return Values

Returns an associative array of page of keys corresponding to the fields requested in the $fieldList attribute.

The returned array is as follows (all possible fields are listed, note that only fields requested will be returned):
