Hi
Can we include static html in FTL. :?: :?:

For ex: header.html is common across all pages. can we include header.html in other ftl's so that, when particular page is generated this header.html is automatically added.

I have seen some example in ftl's http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/docs/dgui_quickstart_template.html but it is not working in alfresco.

please let me know how to solve this.

thanks in advance

Yes off course you can include html files into ftl files.

Say that you have a file abc.html and xyz.ftl into the same directory - then the following statement in xyz.ftl

<#include "abc.html">‍

would do the trick for you.

No , the above solution didn't work.
When I was creating the ftl including the above code, it is showing as some error.

Did you use the above code for including any static html..

If so can you please provide me one sample

Could you please post the error and if possible the including html file?

I didn't get time to go through your files for testing. This is what worked for me:

test.xsd
=======
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:alf="http://www.alfresco.org" >
<xs:element name="article">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="title" type="xs:normalizedString"/>
      <xs:element name="description" type="xs:string">
         <xs:annotation>
            <xs:appinfo>
               <alf:appearance>minimal</alf:appearance>
            </xs:appinfo>
         </xs:annotation>
      </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

test.ftl
=======
<html>
<body>
<h1>${article.title}</h1>
<#include "include.html">
</body>
</html>

test.xsl
======
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<xsl:variable name="title">
      <xsl:value-of select="article/title"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

include.html
==========
Included html….

* make sure that the included html file doesn't have <html> tags in it if you have it in the main file where it is being included
** the included file (include.html) should be placed in the same folder where the webform lies (test.xsd). In my case my folder Web Forms > test has the below files:
1. test.xsd
2. test.xsl
3. test.ftl
4. include.html

Hope so this works as a reference for you. Check it out…
