Some things to think about (not a solution)
-There were big changes in the way attributes worked for v8, some breaking.
- Where does $template come from?
If you enable the debug setting in the dashboard, you may get a whoops trace for the error.

Thank you! I will do that.
In the meantime:
$tempate is a string
""templates/ausbildung_topic_filtered""
which refers to a directory created under application/blocks/page_list
Maybe this gives a hint.

Hello,
so with the debug settings, I could narrow it down to here:
Maybe here something has changed with the system calls?
so with the debug settings, I could narrow it down to here:
$subtitle_area = new Area('subtitle'); $subtitle_blocks = $subtitle_area->getAreaBlocksArray($page); $subtitle_block = $subtitle_blocks[0]; $description = strip_tags($subtitle_block->getInstance()->getContent());
Maybe here something has changed with the system calls?
I'd be checking to see if $page has been defined (ie, not null). Under some circumstances it is; under other circumstances, it isn't.
Thank you,
$page ist $pages[0], where $pages ist just used without initalization in a view.php file. This might be the problem, for as I understand, global variables have been banned - which is very reasonable.
Does anybody know how the $pages array can be initialized properly?

Have a look at the discussion at the bottom of:
https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/working-with-blocks/c...
I don't know if it applies to your context, but it should be pretty robust.

Hi!
That's a good starting point - in my special case, I need not only the current page, but all pages - they are iterated and searched for keywords (for automatic cross-linking) - is ther also a function to get all the pages?
