Scrapbook Problem - Global Block
Permalink
Hi all --
So, I'm trying to implement an "hours" block (an html block) into a sidebar on my website. I want this "hours" block to appear on every pagetype in the same place.
I tried copying the block to the scrapbook, and then adding the scrapbook item alias on every other page.
However, when I edit the hours on any page, the changes are only reflected on that page -- for example, if I edit hours on the homepage, save, and browse to the contact page, the hours changes aren't there.
Aren't the items in the scrapbook supposed to be global? Or am I missing something here? In Wordpress, for example, I can include a page into the nav and it would be the same on every successive page. Why isn't this working here?

Any help is appreciated.

Tony,
I have made sure I add the Block to the Global scrapbook, and I have meda sure I am using the alias; however, when I change something, it does not reflects the changes on all the instances of that block, I have notice that if I remove all the blocks, and then put them again on place it works, this has happen already in 2 websites I have worked on! is there any solution so it works the first time around?
Thank you

I have noticed that after editing an item in my Global Scrapbook that I have to go the the Dashboard, then SiteWide Settings and click Clear Cache before the changes are reflected across the site. I am not sure if this is normal or not as I am still relative new to this but it may be worth giving it a try.
Thanks for the Tip I wil definitely give it a try!
we do need to do something better with the two different kinds of scrapbooks because that is causing some confusion.
