Usage of @DOCUMENT

I want to be able to include 1 page within another page but I am having some difficulty getting it to work.

In the page I want to include the secondary page into I am placing [*include1*] where include1 = the template variable I have created.

The variables I am using for include1 are:

Variable Name: [*include1*]
Caption:
Description:
Input Type: Text
Input Option Values: @DOCUMENT 13 <--the ID of the document I want to include
Default Value:
Widget:

Am I using this properly? What have I done wrong? Nothing is showing up.

Thanks for your help!

Have you put your TV [*include1*] in the template that is being used for the first document?
I’ve just tried it and it pulls through the contents of the other page correctly.

Ahh, no. I want to pull the file into another file, not into a template. Is that possible?

I know this is what chunks are used for, but I want to be able to use the WYSWIG editor to edit the table on the page that I am trying to include on several other pages.

Just a little background for you.

your @DOCUMENT should be the default value, not the input option value. That is for check boxes, select drop-downs, radio buttons and the like, where the editor can pick one of the options.

I have modified the variable, but it didn’t make a difference. I have now found a snippet that does what I need.
