I need to pass the content held in variable reportData and the page orientation also as the template is used by different reports. The rest is over-specification but adds clarity.
I use a blank template (shortid:"HkLEC10iz") which calls the script to replace the '$$$' placeholder in a layout template (localCSS_layout.html). The footer is attached to the template and displays if run in Studio with sample data but not if called via render as above. Why is the footer not displaying?

I am using the template layout as described in your blog article https://jsreport.net/blog/template-layouts to pass HTML content. I get the footer with page numbers printed if I run the template in Studio with sample data but the footer does not print when using the following render call:

 var reportRequest = { template:{
                        shortid:"HkLEC10iz",
                        content: reportData,
                        recipe:'phantom-pdf',
                        engine:'handlebars',
                        phantom: {orientation: '#pageorientation#'}
                        },
                        data: {
                            localStyling: '#mainSiteURL#css/#useStylesheet#.css', 
                            }
        };

The script is

function beforeRender(req, res, done) {
    var layout = '{#asset localCSS_layout.html @encoding=string}'
    req.template.content = layout.replace('$$$', req.template.content)
    done();
}

Hosting jsReport on remote Linux server, running as pm2 service, Phantomjs version 1.9.8. Expect script to run twice - once for template, once for footer - this happens in Studio but not from render call. Any ideas what could be wrong?
