Entries Multisite CP Navigation Bug

[davidhellmann]

Description

We have some Multisites on our installation. There is a Single Entry Startseite (Home) for Each Site. When I switch between the Site via the Dropdown and afterwards I click on the Startseite Entry I come to a other Multisite.

Maybe Images can describe it better:

I'm on this site: When I hover over the Home (It must called be Startseite but it doesn't switch when I switch a site) I get this link:

https://www.bistum-passau.de/admin/entries/home/2-homepage/default

When I hover on Home Sub Site in the table on the right I get this Link (this one is the right link):

https://www.bistum-passau.de/admin/entries/homeSubSite/10678-home-sub-site/pfarrverbandBurghausenDe

But it becomes more strange after Reload:

Now on the left there is the Startseite but when I hover now I get this link:

https://www.bistum-passau.de/admin/entries/homeSubSite/10678-home-sub-site/bistumsblattDe

To make it a bit more clear here is a short video. Look at the status bar when I hover on the links.

Do you have multiple “Home” sections defined in Settings → Sections? Which sites are each of them enabled for?

[davidhellmann]

I have two Home Sections. One for the Main Page and one for the subpages. The setup looks like this:

Main Site:

Sub Sites:

I can imagine whats happen here. Craft can handle just one HOME Template? Is there a way to fix that cause I need different Fields on the Pages.

Thanks for looking into it @brandonkelly

[brandonkelly]

@davidhellmann Yeah so if there are two different “Home” sections, Craft isn’t going to maintain selection between them when switching between your main site and a subsite. Wouldn’t really be possible either so this will just have to be a slightly awkward behavior on your site.

[davidhellmann]

@brandonkelly but how can I have two different Home templates. Site A has this fields and Site B hast other fields. 🤔

[brandonkelly]

You can’t, so having two Home sections is the right way to go.

@brandonkelly — I'm working with @davidhellmann on this: It's unfortunately beyond "slightly awkward": When multisite-users (only having access to 1 multisite) want to edit their Homepage, they get an Unauthorized-Error. That's because the Home-Entry of another Multisite is requested.

It seems like the shortname of a Site is added to the URI. Once you delete the shortname manually, you get to the right entry in the CP.

@christophpaster @davidhellmann can you send your composer.json and composer.lock files, and a database backup, to [email protected], and reference this issue + point us to the user account that this is happening for?

[martinhellwagner]

@brandonkelly I have sent the requested files already for issue #4172. However, I just sent you the updated composer.json and composer.lock plus the Google Drive link to the updated DB dump in an e-mail.

[martinhellwagner]

@brandonkelly Any news on this?

[brandonkelly]

@christophpaster we just looked into it with the Composer files and database you sent. It looks like the behavior you’re seeing is due to the Expanded Singles plugin. If you disable that, it should work as expected.

@engram-design Brandon said it‘s a bug related to expanded singles. I disabled the plugin and it looks like it works. Maybe you can look into it?
