Folder attribute is empty when page is reloaded

Sunday 28 January 2007 7:31:42 am

Hello there!

I'm using EZ Publish v3.8.4.

My goal was to render dynamic meta descriptions for each page in the site.
Therefore I've created a new attribute and encountered an issue/bug? related to caching:

1. I've defined a new text line attribute named "my_attribute" in the folder class.
2. I created a new folder using "Text" as value for "my_attribute" in the backend.
3. I modified the "page_head.tpl" template like his:

<meta name="description" content="{$node.object.data_map.my_attribute.content}" />

When the folder is loaded for the first time in the frontend, the placeholder is filled correctly:

<meta name="description" content="Text" />

However, when the page is loaded for the second time, the placeholder is empty:

<meta name="description" content="" />

When I clear the site cache, the placeholder works. When the page is reloaded, the placeholder again is empty.
Same thing happens when I use another template (e.g. "pagelayout.tpl") or another attribute (e.g. "title").

Has anyone had familiar problems / know a solution? Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Andreas Tremel
