Multiple instances of version picker

Hello,

I am very interested in customizing Aikau pickers. Therefore, I ran the example provided here.​

Everything was OK except one point :

When I open the hybrid page (rendered with the standard header and footer, like in http://localhost:8080/share/page/dp/ws/docVersionPicker), I see multiple instances of the version picker (see screen-shot 1.png).

The two instances are cloned : when I modify one instance, the other one is modified in the same way (see screen-shot 2.png).

What do you think about that ? Is it a bug or a configuration issue ?

That's a pretty old blog post... but it should hopefully hold true - what version of Alfresco and Aikau are you using?

If you're getting cloned behaviour then it's almost certainly because the pickers are sharing the same pubSubScope... each time you do something on one picker it is publishing topics on the same scope as the other picker, which is why both have the same result.

It could be that what you mean is that you're seeing multiple instances of the picker instead of just one? In which case this is likely to be because you're on an older version of Aikau where multiple instances of the same service can exist, and two instances of the same service (probably the DialogService) are duplicating the request. This is an issue that was fixed in more recent versions when we ensured that only a single instance of each service could exist at each pubSubScope.
