Others will be better at spotting syntax errors. It seems correct from the docs I could find. The docs do specify that the included file needs to be a forrest generated html source file. Putting in rightnav.html into xdocs doesn't seem to be enough, as it is not being linked to from anywhere (apart from this contract), then I guess it is not being generated - a rightnav.html does not get reproduced into a generated site. | | Assuming syntax is correct. Have you verified that requesting | "http://localhost:8888/rightbar.html"; actually returns some code? No it doesn't, I get a can not find rightbar.xml error | | The other thing is that I wrote this contract for V1. There have been | many changes since then, including the use of JX. I'm not sure if this | is still the "right" way to include content. It seems most of the newer contracts are using JX, maybe v2/v3 need it to be this way. Any mention of JX on the forrest site says to refer to cocoon docs for howto's , I don't really want to start wandering in that direction though. | | > Alternative I thought of would be to create a contract for it.

I will raise an issue, I had a good look for one but could not find a relevent one.
