Embedding CF in CMS Content

[hofar...@houseoffusion.com]

I have a situation where I need to embed a CFINCLUDE in a CMS data field
which is output. How do I get the include to render? Can I even do that?



Example is like <cfoutput>#mydata#</cfoutput> . the include is in the mydata
output. Can I evaluate or something?



Thanks

No, CF won’t evaluate the output of a database query - nor should it.  That would pose all sorts of security and stability concerns.  A better solution is to incorporate the dynamic content you want in to your CMS as a module.  Most CMS systems have a method for including custom modular content.

Thanks. I found another way around it. Just dealing with something that
was already put together strangely, where some embedded functional code into
a CMS WYSIWYG editor.

when you need to put dynamic content then you should never allow CODE,
instead use macros
e.g.
[include:filename]

you then parse the content before displaying to process the macros.

We needed to do something similar and we actually wrote the content to a file and included that.
It worked perfectly.
