[Question] Possible issue with duplicate labels #81

Open ankedsgn opened 5 years ago

ankedsgn commented 5 years ago

Hi, I know that you cannot use one page on two separate locations on the menu editor. For instance, I cannot add a location page to two different chapters on the site, so I use two different location pages with different slugs (location and location-maatwerk) to get the desired outcome.

But, could it be, that a duplicate label also causes problems? They both had the label Location, and it seems to work initially, but it kinda looks like it's going wrong after some time.

We are trying to see what triggers it, maybe clearing the cache or something. I'll just leave this here of someone else has the same problem.

Sorry for the vague description, if we find out more we'll post an update!

What goes wrong specifically? Also IIRC you can have the same page in multiple nodes of a menu, but I might be mismembering. It seems like it should work since it's encoded as an array, not a hash.

Hi, What seemed to happen was that one of the instances paths seemed to be overwritten with the other one. To be more clear: 

label: location
path: location-slug-1

and

label: location
path: location-slug-2

After some time (clearing cache? something else?) fell both back to:

label: location
path: location-slug-1

It seems to have disappeared after altering the labels to be different.

And using the same page ( slug) multiple times in the same menu, makes one of the instances disappear on the front-end of the site. But that's something that is (in this office) viewed as 'just the way it works' and a known issue / feature.

Hope this clears things up. Also, disclaimer, when I'm less busy I might want to do a complete check and see what exactly triggers stuff, so I can give a more clear bugreport. For now, just a observation and in no hurry. :)
