Has any got pagelime to work with coldfusion includes? I want to be able to edit the content from my CF include file. I enabled the feature in labs but it looks like only .net, php, SSI work. Not sure if I am doing something else wrong it looks like it is working in the editor but when the pages is published the CF include file does not get updated.

I am a former adobe incontext user (which adobe just canceled)looking to migrate a bunch of clients to a new system. So far page lime looks great being able edit CF includes would seal the deal.

CF Includes should indeed work. Can you post the code you're using and I'll take a look?

Ok here is the code.....

on the coldfusion page I am using the following in the sidebar area

<cfinclude template="/sandbox/inc-test-pagelime.html">

the contents of inc-test-pagelime.html is as follows

<div id="repeatArea" class="cms-repeat" >Document Link In CF include

</div>

the page can be viewed online here

http://dev.whistler2010.com/sandbox/pagelime.cfm

if you need my login details to get in a have a look email me at jac@whistlerwebandprint.com and I can send that info

Note when you make the edit to the include file and publish the page it looks like it has been updated but then if you leave pagelime and browser to the page the content area updates get applied but the updates in the include file have not. I have check the page on the server to see if it was some sort of cache issue but the file remains unaltered

Thanks for you help

Hey Jaques - I think I replied to you via email already but just in case:

The issue is that the include tag:
<cfinclude template="/sandbox/inc-test-pagelime.html">

Does not have the close slash like so: />

This is treated as valid by PageLime:

<cfinclude template="/sandbox/inc-test-pagelime.html"/>

I will make sure that we modify our code parser to support both cases, but it will take a while for that change to propagate to our PROD environment and pass QA. In the mean time, you can change your CF include tags as outlined above and you should be good to go.

Best,
Emil

Thanks Emil that worked...... Your Software & Support rocks! You guys should defiantly modify your code parser for sure though as the official syntax and code samples for the cfinclude tag does not list the closing slash.

Dreamweaver Code Complete also leaves it out. Sounds like your on it though anyways. I am going to tell all my ADOBE incontext using buddies to check you guys out!

A Blog post titled "Adobe Incontext Alternative" or Adobe Incontext Replacement might be in order (HINT HINT). I know for a fact there are a lot of developers out there scrambling right now to find a replacement. SO GLAD I stumbled upon you guys
