Appending to list across multiple pages

Support Request

Hi Mark,

I’ve a question about an old thread on these forums:

https://devot-ee.com/add-ons/support/stash/viewthread/8734#29675

Is there a way to override the “safety” measure of save=“yes” across multiple page impressions?

I ask as I’d like to build up a list of entry data that’s persistant across pages…

For example page one would save to the list the data of entries: 1, 2, 3

And the page two would append to that list the data of entries: 4, 5, 6

After the impression of page two I would have a list that contained the data of entries: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I’m using append list at the moment with no luck (I’m checking the var in Mustash).

Is that possible? Is that the right way of approaching it?

Thanks

Hold on, it’s just dawned on me that it’s probably better to save the entry data to individual stash variables, and maybe caching a list of ID’s for a “collection” of entries that. Purely for the caching issue of breaking one gigantic array.

I think I’ve answered my second question :)

The trick is to set a variable of the same name, and inside it get the old value. You can use unique=“yes” to avoid duplicates being added/output.

{exp:stash:set_list name="history" save="yes" scope="user" parse_tags="yes" replace="yes"}
   {exp:stash:get_list name="history" scope="user" unique="yes"}
      {stash:entry_id}{entry_id}{/stash:entry_id}
   {/exp:stash:get_list}  
   {exp:channel:entries limit="1"}
      {stash:entry_id}{entry_id}{/stash:entry_id}
   {/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:stash:set_list}

{exp:stash:get_list name="history" scope="user" unique="yes" backspace="1"}{entry_id},{/exp:stash:get_list} 

Note that the scope is ‘user’ - i.e. unique to each user, which makes sense for something like a user’s page history.
