Hi,
I created a page attribute (express object type). How can I programmatically retrieve data in object after getting the value with this code?

$obj = $c->getAttribute('my_attribute_handle'); ...
This fetches the whole record as a string. Is there a way to access a field inside object separately?
Hi Sepehr,
Here is an example of retrieving an Express Entity page attribute and working with its Express Entry.
- "test_express" is an Express Entity attribute applied to a page

$c = Page::getCurrentPage(); // Concrete\Core\Entity\Attribute\Value\Value\ExpressValue $testExpressValue = $c->getAttribute('test_express'); if ($testExpressValue) { // array of Concrete\Core\Entity\Express\Entry $testExpressEntryArray = $testExpressValue->getSelectedEntries(); // Concrete\Core\Entity\Express\Entry $testExpressEntry = $testExpressEntryArray[0]; // array of Concrete\Core\Entity\Attribute\Value\ExpressValue $attributes = $testExpressEntry->getAttributes(); foreach ($attributes as $attribute) { // Concrete\Core\Entity\Attribute\Value\ExpressValue echo '<p>' . $attribute->getAttributeKey()->getAttributeKeyName() . ': ' . $attribute->getDisplayValue() . '</p>'; } }
Hi Karl,
Thank you very much for the answer. Another thing, if I know the Express fields handle, is there a way to get it directly without looping through attributes? e.g I know this Express Object has a first_name and last_name field. Can I get the value with something like:
$attributes['first_name']

Once you have the Express Entry, you can use the Express object magic methods to get attributes.

For anyone trying to work with images in Express objects:
** replace ImageAttributeHandle with the handle of your image
$photoFileObject = $entry->getImageAttributeHandle(); if (is_object($photoFileObject)) { $photoFileObjectVersion = $photoFileObject->getVersion(); $photoRelativePath = $photoFileObjectVersion->getRelativePath(); }
** replace ImageAttributeHandle with the handle of your image
