Hello,

I have defined a variable Name called "ssNewsDetail" and value as "pageRef:news_detail_page" in Sitestore Variable definition.

When i accessed it inside section template it returns like only "pageref:news_detail".Here "_page" is missing.

Variable:ssNewsDetail

<!-- SiteStoreVariable: $CMS_VALUE(ssNewsDetail)$ -->
 <!-- NewsDataSource: $CMS_REF(ssNewsDetail,contentId:newNewsId,abs:2)$ -->

output:

<!-- SiteStoreVariable: pageref:news_detail -->
<!-- SiteStoreVariable:  --> EMPTY RESULT

1. The output should be like <!-- SiteStoreVariable: pageref:news_detail_page --> buy why _detail is missing here?

I am using this variable "ssNewsDetail" in output channel for link template name called "lt_overlaylink_news"

$CMS_IF(isSet(ssNewsDetail) && !lt_entity.isEmpty)$$CMS_REF(ssNewsDetail, contentId:lt_entity.getDataset().getEntity().getValue("fs_id"),abs:setAbsolute)$$CMS_END_IF$

I just verified wheather "ssNewsDetail" is overridden some where inside template.the answer is NO.

Alternate Senario:

Variable:ssNewsDetailNew

<!-- SiteStoreVariable: $CMS_VALUE(ssNewsDetailNew)$ --> As metioned in the image above...
 <!-- NewsDataSource: $CMS_REF(ssNewsDetailNew,contentId:newNewsId,abs:2)$ -->

output:

<!-- SiteStoreVariable: pageref:news_detail_page -->
<!-- NewsDataSource: /en/news/news_detail_page_127106.html -->

The output is correct <!-- SiteStoreVariable: pageref:news_detail_page_page -->

I am using this variable "ssNewsDetailNew" in output channel for link template name called "lt_overlaylink_news".

$CMS_IF(isSet(ssNewsDetailNew) && !lt_entity.isEmpty)$$CMS_REF(ssNewsDetailNew, contentId:lt_entity.getDataset().getEntity().getValue("fs_id"),abs:setAbsolute)$$CMS_END_IF$

Why this weired behaviour is happening here??

  Dear Siva,

  please try using the "dumpcontext()" method in combination with "$CMS_VALUE()$ to get a detailed overview of the context's content. A parameter specifies the separator, e.g. you could take a "<br/>" for an HTML line break.

  An example can be found below:

  When not having access to the ODFS here at the FirstSpirit community take the FirstSpirit help on your local/remote FirstSpirit installation.

  Up to now, there seems to happen a value change in a deeper hierarchy level.
