Error header function

[aleksandar_trif]

Hello Community,

I'm currently working on fs4.2 server on the project that needs to be migrated. When I go to site structure and open any of the pages, right click and show preview errors I have 2 errors that are repeated throughout the project

31.07.2019 10:30:05.498 ERROR (header function 'Navigation', resultname = 'fr_mainnavi_first' at 27, 1):  at 27, 1: invalid value for parameter 'selectedNode', invalid reference ''

          </CMS_ARRAY_ELEMENT>

     </CMS_ARRAY_PARAM>

</CMS_FUNCTION>

So my question is do you have any idea what causes this error ?

Kind regards,

Aleksandar

Hi Aleksandar,

the error message already says what's the problem, right?! 😉

st_pageref_1.referenceName is an invalid reference. There is a form element called st_pageref_1 that should contain a reference that determines the currently sleected node in  the navigation. Maybe this was implemented to be able to overwrite the currently selected node. You should use a define function beofre the Navigation function to check if the pageref is set and if yes use it as the selected node. Otherwise use the current pageref.

best regards
