Accomplishing any one of these will be possible through the use of a snippet, I’d recommend looking in to the getDocumentObject function for a solution.

You can also use a TV with the @DOCUMENT binding.

Gah... I always forget about TVs, those would work better for including a document in another document

Thanks a lot for reminding me that there was a binding for that! Sadly in the current situation, I would prefer to include the documents with a snippet because I got many documents to include at many places, and creating a TV for each of them will make things dirty (at least, in my view).

Would you kn how to retrieve document content in a snippet to output it?

thanks again,

Blaise

Try GetField.

Thanks a lot for your replies! In my case, user permissions are not a problem, but I think I’ll rewrite my thing with getDocumentObject. I’m gonna look at the wiki more carefully I think! I’ll also take a look at the get field snippet just to see its features.

Hang on folks...getDocumentObject is an internal function, not an API function. It is only used by the core and should not be used by add-on developers.

Oops

Will there be an API Function like it in the future? As far as I can tell, there’s only one line in the [tt]getDocumentObject[/tt] function that prevents it from being a viable API Function, and that’s when it loads the TVs and uses [tt]$this->documentIdentifier[/tt] instead of the local [tt]$identifier[/tt] (version 0.9.5)

But I’m not a core programmer Thanks for the insight!
