Stephan Brezinsky	Thursday 25 March 2004 9:17:40 am In my pagelayout.tpl I have added a simple {$node.node_id} to echo out the current node being viewed. Strangely enough, as you click around my site, sometimes the node number will display, and sometimes it won't. For example, I can click on my 'products' link and get node id 45 returned to me on the page. Then I can click on the 'links' link and get a blank node number. Then if I return to the 'products' link, the node is now blank as well. I know the node_id cannot be blank, because all objects are nodes and have node ids. How is this even possible?
Stephan Brezinsky	Thursday 25 March 2004 11:19:20 am I have solved the problem by removing my IndexPage=/content/view/full/62 setting in my settings/mysitedesign/site.ini.append. This is obviously not an ideal solution, since I want to be able to specify my default content page for the index.
