Shortcodes refer to wrong subpage when used in loop.

[ptrxyz]

I am looping over a page's subpages using {% for p of page.collection %} and then dump the shortcodes using {{ dump(p.contentMeta.shortcodeMeta.shortcode) }}.

The dump of the shortcode object always contains the values of the very first subpage (while p.raw_content is correct). I think that's ... wrong. Or am I doing it wrong? I would assume, that p.contentMeta.shortcodeMeta should always be the shortcodes of the page that p refers to.

TLDR:

• Empty cache, browse to parent ->both children in collection show section of child 1
• When child page is updated -> its section is refreshed
• Empty cache, browse to parent ->both children in collection show section of child 1 again
• Empty cache, then browsing to either child 1 or 2, and then to parent -> both sections are shown

Steps to reproduce:

• Fresh Grav 1.6.26 installation
• Install plugin shorcode-core
• Define collection with 2 child pages
  • Content child 1: [section name="text"]Section from child 1[/section]
  • Content child 2: [section name="text"]Section from child 2[/section]
• Twig contains:

  {% for child in page.collection %}
      {{ child.contentMeta.shortcodeMeta.shortcode.section.text }}<br>
  {% endfor %}
  

• Clear cache ->

  Section from child 1 Section from child 1

• Changed child 1 ->

  Section from child 11 Section from child 1

• Changed child 2 ->

  Section from child 11 Section from child 22

• Clear cache ->

  Section from child 11 Section from child 11

• Clear cache, browse to child 1 or 2 first, then to parent ->

  Section from child 11 Section from child 22

So you'll have to evaluate the Page by forcing the caching by navigating there? That seems like a very painstaking process. I suggested on Discord that he use FrontMatter instead as that's more readily available and easier to maintain validation for in editing from Admin.

I have the same issue with a template which i wrote in 2018. It was working, when it was delivered. So this might help. Sorry but i cannot say when exactly the code didnt work anymore. I've got the call from my client 2 weeks ago.

This issue wasnt fixed for month now, so i guess it will not fixed soon. I hope this can be helpful.

{% for _p in page.collection %}
  {% set _s = _p.contentMeta.shortcodeMeta.shortcode.section %}
  <h2>{{_s.headline}}</h2>
  .
  ..
  ...
  <p>{{_s.description}}</p>
{% endfor %}

Page structure

01.home
   _first
      default.md
   _spotlight
      _spotlight_item_1
         spi-modular.md
      _spotlight_item_2
         spi-modular.md
      _spotlight_item_3
         spi-modular.md
   sp-modular.md
   _last

The shortcodeobject got the sections of the sp-modular.md and of the first spi-modular.md for every loop. As is said, the code was working in 2018, when it was delivered to the client.

I like the concept of sections. It's easy to read in the backend (especially when it comes to long text) and it's the common way to put content into grav. Sure u can use the Frontmatter instead, but imo the frontmatter should be used for settings not for content.

Best regards.
