Page QuerySet reference

All models that inherit from Page are given some extra QuerySet methods accessible from their .objects attribute.

Examples

• Selecting only live pages

  live_pages = Page.objects.live()
  

• Selecting published EventPages that are descendants of events_index

  events = EventPage.objects.live().descendant_of(events_index)
  

• Getting a list of menu items

  # This gets a QuerySet of live children of the homepage with ``show_in_menus`` set
  menu_items = homepage.get_children().live().in_menu()
  

Reference

class wagtail.core.query.PageQuerySet(model=None, query=None, using=None, hints=None)

live()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain published pages.

Example:

published_pages = Page.objects.live()

not_live()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain unpublished pages.

Example:

unpublished_pages = Page.objects.not_live()

in_menu()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are in the menus.

Example:

# Build a menu from live pages that are children of the homepage
menu_items = homepage.get_children().live().in_menu()

Note

To put your page in menus, set the show_in_menus flag to true:

# Add 'my_page' to the menu
my_page.show_in_menus = True

not_in_menu()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are not in the menus.

in_site(site)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages within the specified site.

Example:

# Get all the EventPages in the current site
site = Site.find_for_request(request)
site_events = EventPage.objects.in_site(site)

page(other)

This filters the QuerySet so it only contains the specified page.

Example:

# Append an extra page to a QuerySet
new_queryset = old_queryset | Page.objects.page(page_to_add)

not_page(other)

This filters the QuerySet so it doesn’t contain the specified page.

Example:

# Remove a page from a QuerySet
new_queryset = old_queryset & Page.objects.not_page(page_to_remove)

descendant_of(other, inclusive=False)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that descend from the specified page.

If inclusive is set to True, it will also contain the page itself (instead of just its descendants).

Example:

# Get EventPages that are under the special_events Page
special_events = EventPage.objects.descendant_of(special_events_index)

# Alternative way
special_events = special_events_index.get_descendants()

not_descendant_of(other, inclusive=False)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages that descend from the specified page.

If inclusive is set to True, it will also exclude the specified page.

Example:

# Get EventPages that are not under the archived_events Page
non_archived_events = EventPage.objects.not_descendant_of(archived_events_index)

child_of(other)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are direct children of the specified page.

Example:

# Get a list of sections
sections = Page.objects.child_of(homepage)

# Alternative way
sections = homepage.get_children()

not_child_of(other)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages that are direct children of the specified page.

ancestor_of(other, inclusive=False)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are ancestors of the specified page.

If inclusive is set to True, it will also include the specified page.

Example:

# Get the current section
current_section = Page.objects.ancestor_of(current_page).child_of(homepage).first()

# Alternative way
current_section = current_page.get_ancestors().child_of(homepage).first()

not_ancestor_of(other, inclusive=False)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages that are ancestors of the specified page.

If inclusive is set to True, it will also exclude the specified page.

Example:

# Get the other sections
other_sections = Page.objects.not_ancestor_of(current_page).child_of(homepage)

parent_of(other)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain the parent of the specified page.

not_parent_of(other)

This filters the QuerySet to exclude the parent of the specified page.

sibling_of(other, inclusive=True)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are siblings of the specified page.

By default, inclusive is set to True so it will include the specified page in the results.

If inclusive is set to False, the page will be excluded from the results.

Example:

# Get list of siblings
siblings = Page.objects.sibling_of(current_page)

# Alternative way
siblings = current_page.get_siblings()

not_sibling_of(other, inclusive=True)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages that are siblings of the specified page.

By default, inclusive is set to True so it will exclude the specified page from the results.

If inclusive is set to False, the page will be included in the results.

public()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are not in a private section

See: Private pages

Note

This doesn’t filter out unpublished pages. If you want to only have published public pages, use .live().public()

Example:

# Find all the pages that are viewable by the public
all_pages = Page.objects.live().public()

not_public()

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are in a private section

search(query, fields=None, operator=None, order_by_relevance=True, partial_match=True, backend='default')

This runs a search query on all the items in the QuerySet

See: Searching QuerySets

Example:

# Search future events
results = EventPage.objects.live().filter(date__gt=timezone.now()).search("Hello")

type(model)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are an instance of the specified model (including subclasses).

Example:

# Find all pages that are of type AbstractEmailForm, or a descendant of it
form_pages = Page.objects.type(AbstractEmailForm)

not_type(model)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages which are an instance of the specified model.

exact_type(model)

This filters the QuerySet to only contain pages that are an instance of the specified model (matching the model exactly, not subclasses).

Example:

# Find all pages that are of the exact type EventPage
event_pages = Page.objects.exact_type(EventPage)

not_exact_type(model)

This filters the QuerySet to not contain any pages which are an instance of the specified model (matching the model exactly, not subclasses).

Example:

# Find all pages that are not of the exact type EventPage (but may be a subclass)
non_event_pages = Page.objects.not_exact_type(EventPage)

unpublish()

This unpublishes all live pages in the QuerySet.

Example:

# Unpublish current_page and all of its children
Page.objects.descendant_of(current_page, inclusive=True).unpublish()

specific(defer=False)

This efficiently gets all the specific pages for the queryset, using the minimum number of queries.

When the “defer” keyword argument is set to True, only the basic page fields will be loaded and all specific fields will be deferred. It will still generate a query for each page type though (this may be improved to generate only a single query in a future release).

Example:

# Get the specific instance of all children of the hompage,
# in a minimum number of database queries.
homepage.get_children().specific()

See also: Page.specific

first_common_ancestor(include_self=False, strict=False)

Find the first ancestor that all pages in this queryset have in common. For example, consider a page hierarchy like:

- Home/
    - Foo Event Index/
        - Foo Event Page 1/
        - Foo Event Page 2/
    - Bar Event Index/
        - Bar Event Page 1/
        - Bar Event Page 2/

The common ancestors for some queries would be:

>>> Page.objects\
...     .type(EventPage)\
...     .first_common_ancestor()
<Page: Home>
>>> Page.objects\
...     .type(EventPage)\
...     .filter(title__contains='Foo')\
...     .first_common_ancestor()
<Page: Foo Event Index>

This method tries to be efficient, but if you have millions of pages scattered across your page tree, it will be slow.

If include_self is True, the ancestor can be one of the pages in the queryset:

>>> Page.objects\
...     .filter(title__contains='Foo')\
...     .first_common_ancestor()
<Page: Foo Event Index>
>>> Page.objects\
...     .filter(title__exact='Bar Event Index')\
...     .first_common_ancestor()
<Page: Bar Event Index>

A few invalid cases exist: when the queryset is empty, when the root Page is in the queryset and include_self is False, and when there are multiple page trees with no common root (a case Wagtail does not support). If strict is False (the default), then the first root node is returned in these cases. If strict is True, then a ObjectDoesNotExist is raised.
