foreach block is bleeding into the next block...

I have 2 blocks on the page, 1 is a standard xhtml block and the other is a structured data block built using a data definition.

I'm trying to get the data def name used for the block but the 2nd block always shows the 1st block info.

For example, if the data def block is first I get the correct data def name for block 1 and the same data def name for block 2 - block 2 doesn't have a data def so that's wrong. If the standard xhtml block is first, I get no data def name for both blocks, which is still wrong bc block 2 has a data def...

#import('site://Nova/_cascade/formats/bootstrap/setPath')##
#set ($page = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/calling-page/system-page"))##
#set ($data = $page.getChild("system-data-structure"))##
#set ($blocks = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($data, "content-block"))##
#set ($customblockformat = $data.getChild("aoptions").getChild("cblockformat").value)
##
#if($blocks.size() > 0)##
##
#if($customblockformat != "")
###if(!$_PropertyTool.isNull($customblockformat) || $customblockformat != "" )
#import("${customblockformat}")
#else
##
#foreach ($block in $blocks)
#set ($blockpath = $data.getChild("content-block").getChild("path").value)
#set ($blocksite = $data.getChild("content-block").getChild("site").value)
#set($locatedblock = $_.locateBlock($blockpath, $blocksite))
##$_PropertyTool.outputProperties($locatedblock)
#set ($feedblock = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($data, "content-block/content/rss/channel/link").value)
##
#if($blockpath.contains("/_cascade/blocks/index/staff"))

    Hi Nando,

    I noticed when you set your $blockpath and $blocksite variables, you are using $data as the context and not $block from the #foreach:

    #set ($blockpath = $data.getChild("content-block").getChild("path").value)
    #set ($blocksite = $data.getChild("content-block").getChild("site").value)
    

    This would explain why you are only seeing the one result instead of the individual blocks. Instead, I think you want:

    #set ($blockpath = $block.getChild("path").value)
    #set ($blocksite = $block.getChild("site").value)
    

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
