FMP-Include and variable context

[graemeaustin]

Hi!

I am using an FMP-Include to incorporate a dropdown menu on a number of CDML pages. While the menu contained ordinary HTML/javascript it ran fine.

However, having added an FMP-InlineAction the thing doesn't work.

I think my problem is that the context has changed by being inside the include file ie somehow need to pass variables to it or something.

Has anyone come across this before?

Many thanks in advance

Graeme

Hi

Please note: That I am answering the question from a Lasso point of view, but, I believe that the same applies for FMP.... the FMP guys will be able to verify this.

When you include a file it becomes part of the originating format file.

so you would need something like

[FMP-InlineAction:

args,

]

[FMP-Include: 'the_format_file']

[/FMP-InlineAction]

because the include file becomes part of the originating file the information from the ValueLists AND / OR record(s) found / added etc. with the Inline are available to the included file as long as it is between the opening and closing tags.

Hope this helps

PS scuse any incorrect FMPro syntax
