Include page XML/XHTML Content from Pages chosen in Block Page Chooser
I have an XHTML/Data Definition Block with an associated Data Definition that includes a Page Chooser element. In the Block, when I choose a Page using the Page Chooser, then submit, and View XML, I can see that the page contents (xhtml) is rendered. However, if I now go ahead and choose this block in a page, the content is not rendered.
How can I have the entire block (including content) rendered in this page?
Note that if I view the Data Definition Block XML source and copy/paste into an standard XML block, then choose this standard XML block in the page, then everything (including the page content) is rendered properly.
Thanks.

Hi James,
Are you attaching either a Velocity or XSLT Format to the region where you have this block attached? It sounds like you may just need to write a Format which will output the desired contents from the XML output of your Data Definition Block.
If you have already done so and are still having problems, go ahead and attach the XML output (as a file) from your Data Definition Block along with the Format you've written to transform the content.

I think the issue is with the Render Content Depth on your Page Chooser and/or Block Chooser. In your Data Definitions, go to the Block Chooser and Page Chooser fields and click the edit icon for the field. Then Click on the Advanced link. There will be a Render Content Depth field. Put in something like 10 and this should correct the issue. (Make sure you click Save and Submit)
For the sake of not slowing down your system, after you get it working, you should lower this number back down from 10 to a lower number that allows you to get only the necessary depth. I usually start at 10 and work my way back to something like 3 generally does it for me (it all really depends on the groupings you have within your structured data).

That fixed it. A Render Content Depth of 3 was required. Thanks Penny and Tim.
