Notice the first 3 line DO NOT have the %INLUDE%, but that the last line does contain the %INCLUDE%, the last cell being the contents of that %INCLUDE% �{X}�. It does not render in the table, and is not editable.

Thanks for moving my question to the correct location. The example that you have provided shows me the same results:

Machine Test Build Tests Comment URL

| cherry | Test | 1119 | start | out | {X} |

-- ScottCarroll - 29 Nov 2004

Notice that the line does not render as a table. The line reads as such:

%!EDITTABLE{ format="| text, 15, nul | text, 15, nul | text, 15, nul | select, 1, start, not| text, 15, nul  | label, 1, |" changerows="add" headerislabel="on" }%
| *Machine* | *Test* | *Build* | *Tests* | *Comment* | *URL* |
| cherry | Test | 1119 | start | out | %INCLUDE{"http://xx.xx.xx.xx/tmp/junk"}% | 

The URL xx.xx.xx.xx is a valid URL that I�ve masked out for this example. The file /tmp/junk is a text file that contains only the text �{X}�. It is reading the file /tmp/junk from the xx.xx.xx.xx machine. But it does not render it in and editable table format.

I guess your problem is with (implicit) line-breaks that break the table. You could try using the RecursiveRenderPlugin to render the included content. It's more interesting that your code above breaks the %COMMENT% below.

-- FranzJosefSilli - 30 Nov 2004

Franz -- This is a big problem for me. I tried the RecursiveRenderPlugin, and I'm seeing the same problem. This is a major headache for me, is there any other method that you can think of that allows me to include the contents of a text file from a remote host, in a table, without breaking? I'm kinnda out on a limb on this, I convinced my department to use this tool -- and this is a major road block.

Thanks again, for the help -- and sorry for the trouble!

-- ScottCarroll - 30 Nov 2004

Hm, you could use ordinary HTML-table tags, but then you lose the edit-part, but I didn't understand why and what you want to edit anyway.

You could 'comment' the included stuff on seperate topics and fetch them together in table form via a search. It really depends on what you want to do.

Otherwise I'm on my wits' end and refer the matter to the community. Sorry.

Franz: Maybe I'm making this to complicated for myself. This is what I'm trying to do: I need a table (editable if possible) that has some editable elements, but the %INCLUDE{http://xxx}% returned result is not editable. I just want to display the Warning: Can't find topic ""."" results in the table (it's pretty that way). The return value of my Warning: Can't find topic ""."" will always be a simple text string. This is an example of what I would like for my editable to show:

I've inserted '{X}' � that would be the contents of the file, from the %INCLUDE{http://xx.xx.xx}%. As I said up above, the return value of my Warning: Can't find topic ""."" will always be a simple text string.

I've even tried this with a simple table with :

%TABLE{}%
| col1 | col2 | col3|
|X|X| %INCLUDE{"http://xx.xx.xx.xx/tmp/junk"}%|

This does not display the contents of the file 'junk' correctly � junk is a simple text file that contains '{X}' it renders this:

col1

col2

col3

|X|X|{X}

Thanks again � and if this is a limitation, then I can live with that.

Have a look at EditTableWithInclude

-- FranzJosefSilli - 03 Dec 2004

Bingo, that fixes it! Thank you so much -- I tried using the plugin the other day, but it did not work. I'll see if I can find my work, and see what I did wrong.

Thanks again,

Scott

I'm in the same boat. I need to use =%INCLUDE in a simple table so I can make a front end a little more modular, but obviously =%INCLUDE is breaking the table. Is there anyway to stop =%INCLUDE from doing this?

MultiEditPlugin could be what you're looking for.
