How to use Content Suppliers from Excerpt-Include-Page in Excerpt Macro

Sebastian_z9puyw

Hallo everybody,

I need your help with a problem using the excerpt macro.

I have in one page (Page 1) an excerpt part including the "Report Info Macro" configured with "content:modification date".

And in the other pages (Page 2, 3, 4...) I include the excerpt part from Page 1. I want to show the modification date of the include page (Page 2, 3, 4...). But only the modification date of the excerpt page (Page 1) is displayed. I understand why, of course, but is there a way to access the content suppliers of the include page from inside the include area?

e.g.:

Page 1: modification date = 2021-12-16 (excerpt source)
Page 2: modification date = 2021-12-01 (excerpt destination / include)

Page 2 shows:
IS: modification date = 2021-12-16 (from excerpt source page)
SHOULD: modification date = 2021-12-01 (from include page)

I am searching for something like: "masterpage > content:modification date"

When using "parent > content:modification date" I get parent of page 1. How to get to the information of the include page???

Thanks for trying to help me.

I have found a solution, even if it is not pretty, but it works.

Page 1: modification date = 2021-12-16 (excerpt source)
Page 2: modification date = 2021-12-01 (excerpt destination / include)

In Page 1 I include the "Report Info" Macro with the key: "variable:var_moddate"
In Page 2 I include the "Report Variable" Macro with Name "var_moddate" and value "%content:modification date%"

Page 2 shows now:
modification date = 2021-12-01 (from include page) in the excerpt part

So now I have the possibility to maintain a page element centrally in one place and can include it on all pages via excerpt. On each page the excerpt is then supplied with data from the include page. I had hoped that this would be easier, but perhaps there will be content suppliers with access to the include page at some point.
