Pagefile::description() method

Get or set the file’s description (with multi-language support).

When not in a multi-language environment, you can still use this method but we recommend using the simpler method of just getting/seting the Pagefile::$description property directly instead.

Example

// Get a Pagefile to work with
$pagefile = $page->files->first();

// Setting description
$pagefile->description('en', 'Setting English description');
$pagefile->description('de', 'Setting German description');

// Getting description for current language (whatever it happens to be)
echo $pagefile->description();

// Getting description for language "de"
echo $pagefile->description('de');

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $pagefile->description();

// usage with all arguments
$string = $pagefile->description($language = null, $value = null);

Arguments

NameType(s)Description
language (optional)
value (optional)null, string

Specify only when you are setting (single language) rather than getting a value.

Return value

string array

“To Drupal, or to ProcessWire? The million dollar choice. We decided to make an early switch to PW. And in retrospect, ProcessWire was probably the best decision we made. Thanks are due to ProcessWire and the amazing system and set of modules that are in place.” —Unni Krishnan, Founder of PigtailPundits
