How to display the "meta_description" attribute of the parent page inside a DC-block?

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hello,
I cannot display the "meta_description" attribute of the parent page inside a DC-Block. Only the attributes of the "view.php" are shown.
Is there a way to get the "meta_description" attribute by a link or something?

Thank You!

To get attributes from the page that the block is on, you need to get the page with this code:
$c = Page::getCurrentPage();

Block templates work differently than theme templates, because in theme templates the Concrete5 system automatically sets up the $c variable for you -- but in block templates it does not, so you need to initialize $c yourself first.

Once you do that, then everything else should be the same:
$c->getAttribute('meta_description');
