@Include svg

Hi,

I've created an item where I have to choose an icon. The icon is a svg file and instead of just using it in an img tag, I want to have the svg inline.

I tried using like this:

string icon = GetString("Item.Icon")

}

@Include("@icon").

This is not working. I get this error: Include file icon.svg not found in Templates/Desings/design/Paragraph/template.cshtml.

I've tried "dotting" out of the paragraph folder, but without any luck.

Does anyone know if this is somehow possible to do?

Just continuing from another thread: http://developer.dynamicweb.com/forum/templates/razor-include-file-from-ancestor-folder.aspx

My plan is offcourse to use DW functionality as our customer needs to be able to do this - so they just have to be able to choose an icon in a dropdown. If it's not possible to do, then there's nothing to do about it. I was just wondering why it didn't work when getting the Item.Icon - because it's working with a hardcoded path which is exactly the same as the value in the Item.Icon.

I just want my SVG inline. Theres a lot of reasons for that - but that's not the discussion right now :-)

I've tried putting @using System.Web.Mvc, but I still get the errors that Html, File and Server does not exist in the current context.

Hi Rene

Try using the following code:

@{
string icon = GetString("Item.Icon");
}

@System.IO.File.ReadAllText(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(icon))

Best regards

Bogdan
