Update Page custom attribute value from a block

Permalink
Hello,

Can anyone help, I have been finding it hard to work out how to update a page attribute from a block.

Regards

Adam

Can you explain in more detail what you're trying to do? Do you want the attribute to be changed from the add/edit dialog of the block (so only by admins), or from the front-end view of the block (so by all users of the site)?

What is the attribute you're trying to change?

I am trying to update a custom page value through a block.

So the page will have one block which when updated will update the content on the page, then the outputted HTML will put into a HTML custom field which can then be used when using the page list block.

Same Issue here. Tried it with just calling 
Page::setAttribute('key', value);
but semms thats not that easy.

Any hints?

Try this:
Page::getCurrentPage()->setAttribute('key', value);

Solved: 

public function save($data) { 
            $p = Page::getCurrentPage();
            if(is_object($p)) {
              $p->setAttribute(CollectionAttributeKey::getByHandle('handle'), $data['key']);
          }
}


I think the important part is to get the Handle! The API implies you can use the handle direclty, but, in my case, it's not true.
