Getting Attribute of blocks

Permalink May 18, 2011 at 6:19 AM

Hi,
I have a fixed block on each of my news pages, which has the operational entity and the date of the news. I also have to display these two attributes on my customized page list. Therefore I was looking for a way to access attributes of a pages' blocks.

here it comes:

$blocks = $cobj->getBlocks();
foreach($blocks as $block) {
  if ($block->btHandle == 'news_header') {
     $instance = $block->instance;
     echo $instance->operational_entity.'|'.$instance->news_date;
     break;
  }
}
