LHS navigation menu. How to pass the contents of the portlet to child pages?

Hi all

I’ve got a left hand navigation on my site which consists of the open content area (can be any portlet) and navigation links. The links work fine and are “passed” through to the pages navigated to from the menu. However, if I for example add a free text portlet with some text in it, it does not get passed through to the pages navigated to from the menu. (Even though the links do).

I’ve included the contents of my box.jsp file below... I’ve debugged and it gets to the <content:container id="boxContainer"> and it then stops. Does anyone have any tips as to how to get this to work, and make sure that my portlet contents is passed through?

Thanks

Bojana
