Hi Dw,

After upgrade to v8.4 the websitesettings are no longer available in the paragraph templates, which means that this does no longer works:

<!--@Global:Paragraph.Content(<!--@Item.Area.BuyingProcessInfoId-->)-->

Is it intended behaviour or is it supposed to work??

Best regards, Anders

Hi Anders,

does <!--@Item.Area.BuyingProcessInfoId--> work if you just put it in the template?

Yes, it is working on master template and page templates.

Hi Tim,

Is this a bug in v8.4? Should I report it to the support, as I have a customer waiting for the 8.4 upgrade.

Best regards, Anders

It seems like a bug.

We are investigating.

Hi Anders

I have tried to reproduce this.
Check my video with the setup as I understand it: http://screencast.com/t/Sm48mhoJILyu.

I can render the content from the Item.Area.X tags in 8.4 in both page and paragraphs.

I have tried the Global:Paragraph.Content tag with the Item.Area tag but I can´t reproduce that this combination has worked. I tried to download to 8.3.1.2 as you can see in the video.

What did you upgrade from?
Is my setup correct?

Kind regards,
Merethe Vrå Andersen

 

Update the 4th feb: My test was wrong with text in my item field. Instead it should offcourse have been numbers. With a number (paragraph ID) for an existing paragraph in the item field it works with Global:Paragraph.Content tag in 8.4  and previous versions.

I have tried to reproduce this bug without any luck on a clean installation of 8.4.0.0.

I can use my website item value (<!--@Item.Area.Paragraph_ID-->) in page (layout) templates, paragraph templates and module templates. I can also use it with <!--@Global:Paragraph.Content(<!--@Item.Area.Paragraph_ID-->)-->.

Update: In my test it only works because I use <!--@Item.Area.Paragraph_ID--> in the layout template. If I don't use the value in the layout template, then the value is not available in other templates.

Do you have a solution I can take a look at to see the bug in action?

Best regards,
Mikkel

This is a bug in Dynamicweb 8.4. Values from area and page items are only available in paragraph and module templates if they're used in the layout template, i.e. if you put

<!--@Item.Area.BuyingProcessInfoId-->

into your layout templates, then you can used the same value in a paragraph or module template.

I've created an TFS item for this, and we're working on a fix.
