save/cache exp:stash:set WITHOUT name, with wrapped names

[GDmac]

It seems that exp:stash:set WITHOUT name= (e.g. with wrapped stash pairs) doesn't honor save=yes and replace=no somehow. Is this intended behaviour? if so, is there a way to save the wrapped variables?

(edit: the following example fetches two entries from a channel, each one from a particular category. It first fetches one entry from category-one and then one entry from category-two. Because an entry can be assigned to multiple categories, it is possible that the second channel:entries tag fetches the same entry. To fetch two unique entries, the first entry_id is fed into the second channel:entries tag to exclude that entry_id)

{exp:stash:set 
  parse_tags="yes" parse_depth="4" parse_conditionals="yes" 
  save="yes" replace="no" scope="site"
  }
  // <!-- First get 1 entry from cat1, store the id and entry -->
  {exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="1" category="1"}
    {stash:news_cat1_id}{entry_id}{/stash:news_cat1_id}
    {stash:news_cat1_latest}{title}{/stash:news_cat1_latest}
  {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set}

{exp:stash:set 
  parse_tags="yes" parse_depth="4" parse_conditionals="yes" 
  save="yes" replace="no" scope="site"
  }
  // <!-- Fetch an entry from cat2, excluding first found entry_id by
  //       feeding it to chan:entries entry_id  -->
  {exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="1" category="2"
    entry_id="not {exp:stash:get name='news_cat1_id'}" parse="inward"
    }
    {stash:news_cat2_latest}{title}{/stash:news_cat2_latest}
  {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set}

// <!-- add the news to the content -->
{exp:stash:append name="content"}
  <div>
    {exp:stash:get name="slideshow"}
    {exp:stash:get name="news_cat1_latest"}
    {exp:stash:get name="news_cat2_latest"}
  </div>
{exp:stash:append}

(edit: stash:get fixed for example)

No, the variables are saved correctly and respect the replace="no" parameter. I think your problem is you are not accessing the variables correctly:

This is incorrect:

{exp:stash:get name="stash:news_cat1_latest"}

This is correct:

{exp:stash:get name="news_cat1_latest"}

{!-- short-tag syntax --}
{exp:stash:news_cat1_latest}

{!-- in nested template only, or within block parsed by Stash only --}
{stash:news_cat1_latest}

ah, that was from copy-paste for re-creating the example. The problem is that when i turn template-debugging on, that channel:entries tags (or nested channel_images tags) still show up. e.g. it seems that the variables are not cached.

[croxton]

That's because the channel entries tag is outside the variable pairs that are captured. You can use a list instead of capturing multiple separate variables. This will behave like a single cached variable, in that the code wrapped by the list will not be subsequently run until the list cache expires.

{exp:stash:set_list name="my_list" parse_tags="yes" save="yes" replace="no" scope="site"}
  // <!-- First get 1 entry from cat1, store the id and entry -->
  {exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="1" category="1"}
    {stash:news_cat1_id}{entry_id}{/stash:news_cat1_id}
    {stash:news_cat1_latest}{title}{/stash:news_cat1_latest}
  {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set_list}

{exp:stash:get_list name="my_list"}
    {news_cat1_id}
    {news_cat1_latest}
{/exp:stash:get_list}
