This code works:

CODE

my $data = MT::PluginData->load ({plugin => 'my_plugin', key => 'my_options'});
if ($data) {
my $page_bgcolor = $data->data->{'page_bgcolor'};
my $side_bgcolor = $data->data->{'side_bgcolor'};
}

This does not update my data and I've tried other ways of writing the hash. I've also looked at all the plugins that use PluginData. It must have worked once but I can't get it to update now. No error messages.

CODE

my $data = MT::PluginData->new;
$data->plugin ('my_plugin');
$data->key ('my_options');
$data->data ({
page_bgcolor => $page_bgcolor,
side_bgcolor => $side_bgcolor,
});
$data->save or die $data->errstr;

Any help appreciated.

It looks like you're creating a new row with the same key instead of updating the existing row. Try something like this:

CODE

my $data = MT::PluginData->load ({plugin => 'my_plugin', key => 'my_options'});
if (!$data) {
$data = MT::PluginData->new;
$data->plugin ('my_plugin');
$data->key ('my_options');
}
$data->data ({
page_bgcolor => $page_bgcolor,
side_bgcolor => $side_bgcolor,
});
$data->save or die $data->errstr;
