set_vars in layout
I'm having some issues with the set_var(s) when using them in a layout.
At the moment I am using them in my global header, which I am using to pass info into my perch_page_attributes(); tag.
The issue I am finding is that it works on both pages (I only have two pages on the site) for a refresh or two. Then will only work on one page after that.
If I change the id of the set_vars they begin to work again but after a while revert back to only working on one page.
I'm wondering if this is a bug or I'm doing somthing wrong.
Here is the code (snippet) in the global.header layout file
$domain = 'https://'.$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
$url = $domain.$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];
$sitename = perch_pages_title(true);
PerchSystem::set_var('siteDomain', $domain);
PerchSystem::set_var('pageURL', $url);
PerchSystem::set_var('pageName', $sitename);
perch_page_attributes();
And here is the code of my attribute template
<!-- Twitter Card data -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">
<meta name="twitter:site" content="<perch:pages type="text" id="twitter-account" label="Twitter Account" help="e.x @gemagency" divider-before="Info for when someone shares site on Twitter" />">
<meta name="twitter:title" content="<perch:pages id="pageName" type="hidden" />">
<meta name="twitter:description" content="<perch:pages id="pageDescription" striptags="true" type="hidden" />">
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="<perch:pages type="text" id="twitter-account" />">
<!-- Twitter Summary card images must be at least 120x120px -->
<meta name="twitter:image" content="<perch:pages id="siteDomain" type="hidden" /><perch:pages id="twitter-image" type="image" width="120" height="120" crop="true" label=" Twitter share image" />">
<meta name="twitter:url" content="<perch:pages id="pageURL" type="hidden" />" />
<!-- Open Graph (facebook) data -->
<meta property="og:title" content="<perch:pages id="pageName" type="hidden" />" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<perch:pages id="pageURL" type="hidden" />" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<perch:pages id="siteDomain" type="hidden" /><perch:pages type="image" id="facebook-image" label="Facebook Image" divider-before="Info for when someone shares site on Facebook" />" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<perch:pages id="pageDescription" striptags="true" />" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<perch:pages id="pageName" type="hidden" />" />
You can see the outcome on the links below, the code is the same but the info is missing on the homepage.

Any thoughts?
You can do the same with
perch_page_attributes_extend()- does that work?That's seems to have done the trick thanks! Much more stable now.
Might be worth noting that perch_page_attributes_extend needs to be used in conjunction with perch_page_attributes to output the attributes on the docs page.
Thanks again!
