File content not displaying

[graphicz]

I am using a variable which is 'file content' in the <div class="social-badges"> of the Smart header area.

If I use the variable pulling the file content nothing displays, yet the file is visible on the server and can be viewed in a browser.
If I use:

<actinic:block php="true">
if ( file_exists('bragg.txt') )
{
echo file_get_contents('bragg.txt');
}
</actinic:block>

the content of the file is visible.

File include variables are working correctly in the content area/innerlayout, it is just seems to be the header where the variable does not work.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Jonathan

A File Contents type Variable works for me in the Small Social Media Badges layout.

There are a lot of BlockIf's involves so make sure they're not inhibiting it.

Thanks Norman, can't link as it is a client site on test, however, the content of the txt file is:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22IsNotPreviewMode%22%20%2f%3e">

	</div>

Not realy sure if that is helpful or not...

That code is way too site specific for anyone else to test.

Try simplifying the code to just a diagnostic message.

I'd be wary of using a text file containing a blockif inside a file that gets loaded from within a blockif.

I'd have thought that the blockif inside the text file wouldn't do anything as the blockifs have already been parsed.

Thank you both, excellent thoughts.
