Saving page (field content) from front-end

[Joe]

Hi,

I have a field on a public-facing page that can be edited (by logged-in users only). I haven´t yet succeeded in making it saveable right from there.

Thank you!

Take a look at ryan's  example, it's basic but works.

In addition to that, if you really just need to save one field, you can always use $page->save("my_field"). Logic (change tracking etc.) behind it is a bit different, but it's also usually faster. Not that it would, in most cases, really matter

Edit: by the way, it looks like Ryan's example is about creating new pages with a custom frontend form?

If you want to edit one field of current page, it's a bit easier than that; no need to create new page etc. as you can simply set value from $input->post->my_field to $page->my_field and call $page->save() (or $page->save("my_field")). Don't forget to use $sanitizer, though..

Thanks, Martijn, thanks teppo!

So I´ll get busy looking at those.
