Trouble with includes	Can't Post

Hi all,

I'm having trouble using the includes on a page. I have tried every path-to the files I want to include-I can think of. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm clueless.

The page in which I use the includes, is in the publish folder. I'll ask for support via the form so you have the FTP stuff, so you can have a look on the server.

The page in which I want to use the includes is: http://www.strengholtmultimedia.nl/cms/publish/nieuwetitels.shtml

I know it's kinda of a mess, but I wanted to use every possible path.

Thanks for your help. I'm getting desperate

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for the post! :)

I responded to your initial support email that came through the support form. It looks like you were able to get Server Side Includes enabled on the server, but some of the paths for your includes are incorrect (being the reason you're receiving errors for some of them). If you reply to my email I'll take a closer look and let you know what the correct paths are.

And in the mean time, if you have any other questions please feel free to let me know! :)

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your help. The problem was the provider, they said SSi's were enabled but it turned out it wasn't.

Now I have another problem. Frown

Actually, I need to use the headline pages of some categories, twice... But both with another layout. How do I do this? I tried to use a webfeed, but untill now without succes. The biggest issue is adding article fields in the syndicate.js. Or can I use the headlines template in a different way?

Cheers, Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Thank you for the forum post. Smile

You can use SSIs, custom template files, and search.cgi to create multiple headlines with different format requirements on the same page. Here's how:

1. Copy the entire contents of /search/search_results.html and paste the text to two new HTML files. Let's call them headlines_left_column.html and headlines_right_column.html.
2. Customize the format of the two template files in step 1 to match your design requirements for the headlines.
3. Add the following lines in your index page where you want the headlines to display:



and



note:

* for Windows servers, you need to replace "#include virtual" with "#exec cgi"
* "perpage=5" = 5 article/headlines on the page.
* "cat=3" = limit article list to a specific category
You can find out a category's number by moving your mouse over the modify link and examining the status bar at the bottom of your web browser. The last number shown on the status bar is the category number you need. If you need to include multiple categories, do this: cat=3,4,5
* "template=headlines_left_column.html" = specifies the template to use.

You can see how this approach allows you to display the same headline information in different formats on the same page. If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know! :)

Re: [etips4u] Trouble with includes [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi Jose,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I took a quick look at your site and I think you'll just want to make one change to your Server Side Includes (SSI) to get them up and running.

I noticed that on the www.expat-village.com website the search.cgi script is being run from outside of the /cgi-bin/ directory.

This means you should actually be able to change your SSI to actually look something like this:

Code

<!--#include virtual="/path/to/artman/exec/search.cgi?perpage=5&cat=29&template=Headlines_Left_Column.html" --> 
<!--#include virtual="/path/to/artman/exec/search.cgi?perpage=5&cat=31&template=Headlines_Right_Column.html" -->

You'll just want to have a look on the server to see where the /artman/ directory is actually located and replace "/path/to/" with the actual path to /artman/.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to let me know! Smile

Re: [biruel] Trouble with includes [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hi biruel,

Thanks for posting.

Just change the SSI code to look like this and everything should be fine:

Code

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-local/artman/exec/search.cgi?perpage=1&cat=3&template=search/c1.html" -->

Give that a try and let me know how it goes Smile

Re: [Eric] Trouble with includes [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hello Eric,

I read many of the posta in the forum and managed to display different featured articles on different index page. But i want to list additinaly the headlines of the other articles. I put the following code in my index\default template:

...



<a name="$art_num$">$cat_breadcrumb$</a> 

<a href="$detail_link$">$art_name$</a> 

$art_date$ 

...

But only the first include is carried out. If I shift the position of both, the second, now in position above display the list. Both includes are running standing alone but not in combination.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Clemens:

Some of your includes are slightly mis-formed, missing the two hyphens that close the include tag. For example:
