Programatically adding a page to FieldtypePage field

[lenno]

Dear all,

I have a presumably simple question, which I simply can't find the answer for.

I need to programatically add a page to a FieldtypePage field. I tried the following:

$page->a_field_of_fieldtype_page->add($anotherPage);

but without success.

Can anybody help?

Try turning off output formatting before setting values of fields, and also don't forget to save.

$page->of(false); // turn of output formatting
$page->a_field_of_fieldtype_page->add($anotherPageOrID);
$page->save();

Or if your pagefield is set to a single value:

$page->of(false); // turn of output formatting
$page->a_field_of_fieldtype_page = $anotherPageOrID;
$page->save();

That did the trick, thanks a lot Alxndre!
