Blocks from Stacks are not "global"?
Permalink
Hi there, I've searched a bit but couldn't find this, so here it goes. My workflow on my latest C5 site is this one:
1. I've edited Content on a Stack, each stack has 3 blocks.
2. I create the page > Insert Design (a simples preset 2 columns, so it's the same on all the contente pages)
3. In each created layout I add the previously created contant: Add Stack > Add Block. Repeat until the 3 layout spaces are filled with blocks from the stack. It all goes nicely to it's place.
4. Latter, some other page will have the same content, but the page will be under a different category.
Now to the bad part, or at least the "you'r not getting how to do this" part: when I update some block inside Stacks -> Blocks , the block that I inserted into the content page doesn't update. It becomes "independent".
So what's even the point of having a dynamic site? I'm not getting something right or not doing something right. Where do I go from here?
Note: If I remember, I could do this easily with the old scrapbook.

At 3 just at the stack. Not the blocks from a stack.
This is a known issue. Rather than using the blocks from the stacks on individual pages, use stacks on the individual pages, and create the stacks as you need, just as you might the blocks themselves!
Thanks, problem solved due to your info.
I splitted all the block inside each to stack content 01, content 02, content 03, then inserted the full stack; then the edited single block inside the stack showed it's update on the page it was inserted on.
Well it does work this way, but I hope the forthcoming version will fix this. It really isn't logic to have to do stacks, that, has the name says, are "sets" of blocks.
Once again, thanks!
