Re: bug in getAbsoluteContainerList ?

Hi Maciek,

The getAbsoluteContainerList method does a check on container definitions. 
It basically checks if the container list definition called 
"indexContainer1" has a parent container definition, in which case it 
refuses to load the container list.

The problem with sub container lists is that there are multiple instances 
of them on a single page, so I shouldn't be able to access them without 
going through their parent object.

Now if "indexContainer1" is indeed a "page level" container list, there 
must be some kind of problem in the database with the container 
definitions, or as you pointed out, with the implementation of the 
getAbsoluteContainer list method. There might be a problem (as I am looking 
into the code right now), if you have different definitions of 
indexContainer1 in different templates on your site. Is this the case ?

Regards,
   Serge Huber.
