Global blocks context changed?

Beta
#1

Hello,

I have updated today to 5.0.7 (and have reverted again to 4.3.3) because of a changed way global blocks seem to be integrated in the scope of a page.
In an “Archive Layout”, I have a rather complex design of how I want to show individual posts. Because I show this particular design on several places on my website, I have decided to implement it as a global block. The global block itself contains dc-fields of the post. In the Archive Layout, I have enabled a looper provider, and a looper consumer, and inside that consumer is the gloabl block. In 4.3.3., it works: the global block is repeatedly shown, and each instance shows the next post. In 5.0.7, however, each instance of the global block shows the same (the latest) post.

Hi @striata,

Thanks, I’ve corrected this for the next point release (Pro 5.0.8) which we’re about to publish.

Hi @alexander,
I can confirm that it is fixed. Thank you!
By the way, in the release notes, at the very top of the page, it still says x.0.7 for the various products, even though x.0.8 is out already.

Glad it’s working again! And thanks for the heads up on release notes - should be correct now.
