Liquid Items Render in Studio but not when Previewing

Posted on by Nerd_Gorilla1

This problem has stumped me for some time. Maybe @OliverRodrigues @Fubar or @ragavanrajan can figure this one out.

I'm trying to build a clickable tabbed navigation per @ulrikke 's article here. I have everything setup correctly and have checked and double checked all of my code, localized page records, web template code and etc..

You can see my page renders correctly in the studio along with my blue tabs. Please ignore the bad styling for now. You can see I've also added console.log statements to debug the liquid code and all the returned values are as expected.

Now, once in Preview, the child/parent association breaks for some reason. Notice the blank values in my console.log statements for children size and child pages list as compared to the previous screenshot

Finally, below is Ulrikke's liquid web template code followed by what is actually rendered in my browser. Notice how my Nav is not populating.

Does anyone have other troubleshooting ideas? Could this be a bug? I am using a GCC environment btw. I've also tried clearing my cache & config multiple times and even restarted the portal to no avail. Any help would be apprecaited!

I can't give a specific answer to this, but one thing to watch out for is that in the Designer Web Role permissions do not apply, whereas the Preview or Site will obey Web Role table permissions (i.e. it is possible that your portal user does not have table permissions to be able to read the values in question)

@fuba - Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I can confirm it's not a permission issue. I've added the same list and forms in a non-tabbed page format and it works fine.

I am in the same predicament as the OP. page.children works in Designer but not in preview. It sounds like a permission issue, but I am not sure what table(s) I need to give permission to the portal user role. Can someone help?

Hi @prasad-sunkara , @Nerd_Gorilla1,

could you try giving all permissions to all tables you have used in the portal?
If that solves the problem it seems to be permission issue and you can start reducing till you face the issue.

Another bug which I face currently is solved when restarting the app via the admin center, could you try that as well?

Hope that helps.

Thank you @Lucas001. I am still learning my way around PowerPages. I've got it working now after I set the Page Template for the content page also. Earlier I was only setting that at the top level of the page definition.

I'm having same issue, and doesn't make sense to start a thread with the same title, here posting a video to show what the problem I'm facing is, hoping someone can point me to the right direction or give me some clues how to unstuck from here...
