$entry.body not always available
Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:58 am
I have observed an intermittent problem, revealed by my template Kinetic. I have verified this problem in 1.4, 1.4.1, and 1.5 alpha 2. Problem seems related to the extended properties for entries plugin.
Here is the problem: I have been informed by 2 sites that content normally displayed on the frontpage as {$entry.body} was not working. These sites had 2 things in common: They had a fresh install of s9y, and my template, and had never set the option to cache entries using this plugin to "yes/true".
On those sites, when I look at the contents of the $entry array, I see missing fields:
Please note that I have suppressed the true content above with "whatever", the point is that these values exist in my sandbox.... but NOT in these other sites.
Now, if I DISABLE caching in the plugin on my sandbox, $entry.body (and everything else listed above) no longer exists.. and I encounter the same problem as these other sites. If I re-enable caching, the problem disappears.
HOWEVER, on these other sites, I cannot get $entry.body regardless of whether or not caching is enabled... all I know for sure is that caching has never been enabled on those sites.
The entries.tpl used for this is not radically different from anything else, and exists in nested loops as follows:
The code used to fetch this template uses something like this:
Deleting the plugin, and reinstalling it with its default values (which includes cache=true) solves the problem. Disabling caching will reveal the problem again, but enabling caching eliminates the problem AS LONG AS the plugin was FIRST configured to enable caching. 
Any clues? I know caching entries via this plugin had led to numerous problems, but I really need a solution to this!
