cfmodule with .html files

How do I get cfmodule to work with html files

Invalid template inc/nav.html provided for CFMODULE tag. 

 CFMODULE tag only supports including ColdFusion templates.   

 The error occurred in C:/inetpub/wwwroot/ColdDoc/strategy/api/resources/templates/overview-summary.html: line 28

26 : <BODY BGCOLOR="white" onload="windowTitle();">
27 : 
28 : <cfmodule template="inc/nav.html"
29 :            page="Overview"
30 :            projectTitle= "#arguments.projectTitle#"

This seems to be a change in behavior from Adobe ColdFusion 9

Solution

  • Part 1

    The short answer is ColdFusion won't do this anymore. <cfmodule> is not like <cfinclude>. There are no overrides.

    Part 2

    The software package I was using has been updated and is at http://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/DocBox . The new version does not have this issue.

    Part 3

    Like Leigh pointed out, it is posible to write a wrapper and have the wrapper pull in the .html files with CFML
