Problem summary

• Problem Summary: Paging navigation links affect other rendering
  portlets when links are broadcast.
  
  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  Recreation Scenario:
  1.  Create a site area with several content items (enough to
  ensure that paging will be necessary when rendered in a menu)
  2.  Set up a menu with a paging component configured to list the
  content items in the site area.  Configure the paging parameters
  to ensure there are multiple pages of menu results.  Set up the
  menu to render links to the content items (See InfoCenter for
  examples of menu and paging configuration and markup).
  3.  Set up a page with two local rendering portlets
  4.  Set the first local rendering portlet to render the menu and
  to broadcast links to this page, receive links from none.
  5.  Set the second rendering portlet to render a content item by
  default and to broadcast links to none and to recieve links from
  other portlets and this portlet.
  
  Clicking on a content item in the menu in the first rendering
  portlet correctly causes the content item to be displayed in the
  second rendering portlet.  However, clicking on a paging link
  affects both rendering portlets when it should only affect the
  rendering portlet showing the menu.  The second rendering
  portlet showing the content items should not change when you
  click on a paging link in the first rendering portlet.
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  The second rendering portlet was receiving the broadcast for the
  paging component links and processing it like regular links from
  the menu.
  
  Failing Module: WCM - Web Content Management (General)
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  Change the local rendering portlet to ignore links for paging
  components that are broadcast from other portlets.
