Error message

Grav\Framework\Flex\Pages\Traits\PageLegacyTrait::raw(string): Not Implemented

What it means

PageLegacyTrait::raw() supports reading the raw page content (it falls back to storage->readRaw() or re-encodes via MarkdownFormatter), but setting raw content — raw($var) with a non-null argument — is not implemented for Flex pages and throws this RuntimeException. Flex pages are edited through object properties and save(), not by writing the whole raw file at once.

Solutions

1. Write content through the property API: $page->setContent('# New content'); $page->save(); (or $page->setProperty('content', ...)).
2. For full-file imports, create/update the object: $directory->createObject(['content' => $raw, ...], $key)->save().
3. Branch on instanceof FlexPageObject in code that must serve both page types.

Example fix

// before
$page->raw("# Updated\n\nBody text");

// after
$page->setContent("# Updated\n\nBody text");
$page->save();

function isFlexPage(\Grav\Common\Page\Interfaces\PageInterface $page): bool
{
    return $page instanceof \Grav\Framework\Flex\Pages\FlexPageObject;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling $page->raw('# New content') on a FlexPageObject (legacy sync/import code); CLI scripts that push external markdown into pages via raw(); admin plugins using raw() to overwrite page bodies.

Common situations: Porting legacy import pipelines to a site running the Flex Pages architecture; third-party plugins that update page content through raw() instead of the content property.
