Include a File

You can include a file using a layout from another using a layout without having the layout appear twice on the page. To do so, you must use the "include" functionality of Layout Components, which does have some restrictions.

• No <cfflush> on the included page
• No access to the variables scope of the included page from the including page.

Other than those restrictions, however, everything should work as you would expect.

Using cf_Template

<cf_Template title="Page Title">

<cf_layout include="/mypage.cfm">

</cf_Template>

Using cf_layout

<cf_layout title="Page Title">
<cf_layout>

<cf_layout include="/mypage.cfm">

<cf_layout>

Direct CFC Code

<cfoutput>#layout.head("Page Title")#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#layout.body()#</cfoutput>

<cfset layout.include("/mypage.cfm",variables)>

<cfoutput>#layout.end()#</cfoutput>
