Saving a field [ I am retarded |:\ ]

[bramwolf]

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to load a field from a different page, update it's value and save it. 

that's all,... and i CANT get it to work! Extremely frustrating <

	$bestelnummer = $fields->get('bestelnummer');
	$bestelnummer++;
	$fields->save($bestelnummer);
	echo $bestelnummer;

Can someone please help this poor little retarded boy out? 

Thanks guys!

You are getting the general field itself, not the field in that page. Try this instead:

$other_page = $pages->get("selector_for_the_page");

$other_page->setOutputFormatting(false);

$other_page->bestelnummer = $other_page->bestelnummer++;

$other_page->save('bestelnummer');

To understand the second line check this: http://cheatsheet.processwire.com/page/built-in-methods-reference/page-setoutputformatting-true-false/

Ah yes!!

Thank you Very much I Tried maybe 15 different things next to my code at the top here,

But I never applied OutputFormatting, so i kept getting the error.

Thanks!

You have to read the errors

[bramwolf]

Uh, where?

I only got a Internal server error displayed in my browser, nothing in the console?

[diogo]

You have to be logged in to read the errors.

I was? I never saw anything that pointed me towards this problem? 

Is there some specific place I should look for the error? Since i only

thing I recall is seeing "The error had been logged because you are logged in as administrator" 

a few times, but never a specific error other than Internal server error..

You can enable debug mode in the site/config.php to get more information on errors.

AHA!

Thanx man, i did not know that! Maybe it's time to actually read all the docs {:}

thanks
