Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Hi!

I want to update a page from my plugin using https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/objects/page/update and now I’m stuck. I’d like to update a structured field, but I have no idea how my array (?) has to look to get this working.

The field is structured like so:

Podcasterchapters:

- 
  podcasterchaptertimestamp: 00:00:01
  podcasterchaptertitle: Mein Titel2

Can someone help me? Thank you!

Hello,

I don’t understand how you do it?

I have copy the following code in my controllers:

<?php {
    function addToStructure($page, $field, $data = array()){
      $fieldData = page($page)->$field()->yaml();
      $fieldData[] = $data;
      $fieldData = yaml::encode($fieldData);
      try {
        page($page)->update(array($field => $fieldData));
        return true;
      } catch(Exception $e) {
        return $e->getMessage();
      }
    }
    
}

It is not possible to update from the front at the moment.

In my template I put this form:

<?php foreach ($page->listing()->toStructure() as $listing): ?>
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <label for="headline">Date</label>
                                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="date" name="date" placeholder="date" value="<?= $listing->date() ?>">
                                </div>
                                <div class="form-group">
                                    <label for="exampleFormControlTextarea1">Description</label>
                                    <textarea class="form-control" id="text" name="description" placeholder="description" rows="10"><?= $listing->description() ?></textarea>
                                </div>
                                <?php endforeach ?>

And my blueprints:

  listing:
    label: Historique
    type: structure
    fields:
      date:
        label: Date
        type: text
        width: 1/2
      description:
        label: Description
        type: text
        width: 1/2

Does that seem coherent to you?

Thanks

Putting just the function into your controller won’t do anything, a function only does something when it is called. So you have to integrate that into your form handling.

Ok I’m trying to adapt but I don’t have a very good php level.

Actually it makes sense.
