Man.. something weird is going on. Here's an example.
I have a main template file sitting in the webroot. /template.cfm It's included in every page. The template has two sidebars.. one on the left side and one on the right side of the website. I have a folder in root called 'sidebar' and 2 subfolders called 'left' and 'right'. I call it from the main template with <cfinclude template="sidebar/right/rightSidebar.cfm"> This works fine. How within the 'sidebar/right/rightSidebar.cfm' document, I have 2 more includes. <cfinclude template="/sidebar/right/loginSidebar.cfm"> <cfinclude template="/admin/google/googleAd200x200sb.cfm"> What's weird, is the first include is actually in the same folder of it's parent include (rightSideBar.cfm). I can remove everything but the document name, and it still works (as expected). But it works with the path spelled out as well. however, the 2nd include throws an error saying it can't be found. I realize that the cfinclude is being called from a document that is 2 folders deep. However, if I try to escape it using '..' it doesn't work either. I've tried multiple periods to try and escape back to the root then give the location.. ie <cfinclude template="./admin/google/googleAd200x200sb.cfm"> <cfinclude template="../admin/google/googleAd200x200sb.cfm"> <cfinclude template=".../admin/google/googleAd200x200sb.cfm"> And for the life of me I can't get it to find this document, even though it's there, and if I call it via url from the webroot it finds it. www.mysite.com/admin/google/googleAd200x200sb.cfm Ideas?
