CFinclude issues

I am trying to code a cfinclude on a template page: <cfinclude template="../includes/sponsors.cfm"> to show this include when its pages are displayed.  The name of the include is correct, the location it is directing to is correct, but it will not work.  Does someone have an easy solution to help me?

Are you sure you need the ".." in front of the first slash?  It could be a relative path issue.  What errors are you getting?

Try a cfabort showerror="Here I am" in the included page.  Also, try using the fully qualified path name for the include to see if that works.

if there is no error then the cfinclude is working, the content is simply not being disaplyed. Do you have a cfsetting somewhere set to only display cfoutpout maybe ?

What do you meanby it does not work, is there an error, the file is not included, what? Regards Russ Michaels From my mobile On 1 Mar 2012 21:16, "Eileen Harberts" <eileen@tdai.net> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

This is a stab in the dark - but it did catch me once. It's not a cfinclude on a cfincluded page, is it? I didn't bother to test it just now but I don't believe that will work. I'd check Firebug or IE F12 to see if it gives you a clue. >By 'not work' I mean the include does not display.  There is no error message, just a page not displaying the include.

This will work fine, actually, just like Cameron said, unless you include a file that includes the file you're including.

>>unless you include a file that includes the file you're including. Even this will work, provided you have a test to stop the recursive loop.

Aren't they all also relative to the original including templates path though even though they're nested?  I feel like I got bitten by that once... >>unless you include a file that includes the file you're including. Even this will work, provided you have a test to stop the recursive loop.

>>Aren't they all also relative to the original including templates path though even though they're nested? I would say yes. Better do this in the same directory. Any way, I do not relly see a good occasion for using recursive includes, because they will all work on the same variable scope. I sometimes use recursive custom tags though.

Not to state the obvious, but you are trying to include it from a .cfm page right?  You cannot use a cfinclude on a .htm page. On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 2:16 PM, <> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

>>You cannot use a cfinclude on a .htm page Well, actually you can, ... but it will include nothing ;-)

Actually you can't being an html file, it will never be run by ColdFusion, and will only be seen as a standard html comment. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 7:53 AM, <> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Yes Andrew, that was the point I was making. On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 2:56 PM, Andrew Scott <andrews@andyscott.id.au>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Well the point was lost, because saying you can, implies that it can be called or used by ColdFusion. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Andrew:  You must have meant that for the other guy.  My original reply said you cannot  use cfinclude in a .htm file.  I will add the addendum that being the case in a traditional server configuration.

Actually you can... The web server can be set up to have ColdFusion process any file you want it to. I had to work on one site once where it was all ColdFusion, but all the extensions were .htm.

Do a "view source" Depending on the server .html could be rendered at cfm ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Then it is not an html file then is it, if someone sets the server up to server files to ColdFusion server, I would not consider this an html file. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 On Sat, Mar 3, 2012 at 8:07 AM, Brian Thornton <Brian@cfdeveloper.com>wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
