I'm trying to display some content from a file as an include but it is not working, the cf syntax shows up but not the content from the database. Here is what I mean
http://192.168.1.54/~rangeles/web/realdads/rd_pages.cfm?sectid=1&pageid=1&articleid=2


<div id="pageoutput">
<cfloop query="contList">
<cfoutput>
<cfinclude template="admin/page_files/#TRIM(page_title)#.txt">
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</div>

Correct answer reya276

Actually the solutions was adding an extra pair of <cfoutput></cfoutput> in between the tags. Meaning when writing the file, just write the file content this way

<p><cfoutput>#article_title#</cfoutput></p>

<p><cfoutput>#article_cont#</cfoutput></p>

for some reason when done this way CF ignores the <cfoutput query="">

Meaning it brings back the query content but does not perform the output, in this case.

the URL is actually blocked because is on my local PC, sorry.

I think your solution is to use CFFILE to read the text file into a variable and then output the variable.
