<p>To confirm, are these Blocks always going to be an XHTML (ie
single WYSIWYG) or XML Block? If so, this is definitely doable
using one Format that simply outputs the contents of the block.</p>
<p>Your setup you described sounds correct, perhaps one thing you
can try is to make sure the <strong>Render Content Depth</strong>
property for the chooser field is set to an appropriate number. I
generally use between 3 and 5 depending on how deep the structure
data for the asset goes.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>Ryan Griffithtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/315832172014-02-12T19:31:18Z2014-02-12T19:44:24ZContent + Block page?<div><p>Ah, I see. I upped the Render Content Depth and got the entire
structure now. So, for my Wufoo Form example, I have this XML:<br>
q1y1gi8f1qxycfh ... I have a Velocity Format to take the value and
put it into the Wufoo Embed code, which uses Javascript to display
the form.</p>
<p>Is there a way to get the output from that Velocity format to
come with the with either a Block Chooser or Page Chooser? Right
now all I can get is the tag, which would make it hard to
generalize the 'outer' page.</p></div>e-jamesontag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/315832172014-02-12T20:51:41Z2014-02-12T20:51:41ZContent + Block page?<div><p>Thank you for following up, Eric. I am glad to hear adjusting
the depth property did the trick.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, there is no way to bundle the two together, so
you would need to create a sort of catch-all type of Format that
can determine the "type of block" and output accordingly.</p>
<p>I was able to find <a href=
"http://ideas.hannonhill.com/forums/52559-ideas-for-cascade-server/suggestions/2800862-region-blocks">
this related suggestion</a> on our Idea Exchange that mentions the
ability to bundle Blocks and Formats together. I would highly
recommend voting this up if you would like to see it implemented in
a future release of Cascade Server.</p>
<p>Let me know if you need access to the Idea Exchange and I will
send over an invitation.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
