Hi Folks,
Come across this so I thought I'd post here as a double check that I'm not doing daft before filing a bug.
Ok situation... related asset (rss feed) in metadata. Asset Listing setup to take a get variable (rssid) as a replacement root node (this works fine) as we want to use different RSS feeds.
I want to nest the asset listing in a design BUT as you can't pass in variable to a nested area in the design... bit of a work around is to nest a different (and empty) 'stubb' standard page asset then apply a paint layout to that. Again this works... I can print out a content div that has 'hello world' from the default format of the paint layout - in fact I can even print out the global keyword i want in the next step - %globals_asset_metadata_rssfeed_asset_assetid%. I add a nested div and include the Asset Listing and pass in the variable (rssid) and value (%globals_asset_metadata_rssfeed_asset_assetid). Fails.
For debugging I have a nested content area in the main body of a standard page and repeated the process (nest standard page asset; apply paintlayout; nest asseet listing; pass in variable) and this works fine.
So is there something I'm missing that this approach works when done within 'the body' but doesn't work when used in a design?
TIA
K
