Passing parameters to multiple nested content DIVs on one page

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi,


I have three nested content DIVs on the same page, all pulling in content from the same asset listing but passing a parameter to get different results (category_id get parameter). However all three DIVs list the same results. Basically it seems that the asset listing is being passed the first parameter I set three times, regardless of what I pass in the second and thrid DIV, i.e. I pass 59,60 and 61 to the three DIVs but they all show the number 59 list.



The asset listing root node is a data source record set and the category_id is being passed into the SQL.



Previewing the nested content separately and passing the category_id as a get parameter in the URL works fine.



Looks like a bug.

We are using Squiz MySource v3.28.2 (Matrix).

I've found this as well, but not yet filed it as a bug.


I have a suspicion this might turn out to be a limitation of the feature's design. When you pass a variable through a DIV in this way, it just puts the value into PHP's GET vars array (as if it was passed through the query string), which might be too much of a global scope to be set more than once per request.

Hi Paul, just a quick question - is the page in question cached? If so, does the behaviour occur with a non cached version of the page?

Hi Douglas,



No as far as I can tell it's not cached.

Thanks Paul, we have a similar problem with a complicated set of nested searches where the problem occurs when the page is cached, but doesn't occur when the page is not cached.
