Adding block to a single page on dashboard

Developing with Concrete
1

Hello

I am trying to add an accordion block to a single page which is on dashboard. I am using Concrete CMS v9.0.

So I have added this to my controller:

    $page = Page::getCurrentPage();
    $block = BlockType::getByHandle('accordion');
    //set block data (differs for each block type... following is an example for the 'content' type)
    $data = array(
        'title' => '<h3>title here</h3>',
        'description' => '<p>description here</p>',
    );
    $page->addBlock($block, 'Main', $data);

And this to my view:

 <?php
     $a = new Area('Main');
     $a->enableGridContainer();
     $a->display($c);
 ?>

But it does not create the block as I wanted. It has just a empty div. What do I miss here? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe I should rephrase my question. Is it somehow possible to use blocks in single pages for dashboard?

did you ever get this worked out? I’m doing the same thing at the moment.
