Salve!
It's been a while since last posting here, but I ran into something I can't solve by myself or by searching the forum:
I set up a page displaying a google map, where one can choose what kind of markers are to be displayed. This works all very fine.
Now, I use nested_pages and created a "page" (for the menu, so it just points to somewhere else) that links to said map. I would like to change the URL of the map and therefore chose "masquerade" within the pointer settings.
When I now select something in the sidebar to change the map the flash variables will not be saved, therefore the map doesn't change. As everything works fine when I choose "redirect" I can only assume that this is an issue with flash variables and masquerading. Is there some way to fix that?

Bookmarked. 
) of different approaches to set variables and if's and else's but I always manage either to start with nothing selected, and everything works afterwards fine (not selecting anything remains unselected) or I start with a pre-selection of Companies, Research Facilities and Associations and everytime I want to select nothing they all get selected back again...
