Multilingual "name" field has no setLanguageValue method — how to set?

[Pierre-Luc]

I’m trying to set the name field on a page through the API. Since this field has no setLanguageValue method, I’m a bit lost on what to try. Documentation doesn’t talk about this exception.

Well, after a lot of fiddling, looking up the database and too much var_dump’ing, here’s the answer:

if ($language->name == "default") {

    $page->name = $value;

} else {

    $page->setFieldValue("name".$language->id, $value);

}

 

Where $language is a correctly queried language.

Page "name" is not a field like the others.

You'd use $page->set(key, value); instead of setFieldValue()
