Skins and SSI Can't Post
Hi,

I am using the Search Engine module in the entire site so it will search Article Manager and the static pages. The problem I am having is that I get one skin to work results but the other skin (search_form.shtml)is not being called up.

The other issue is that I am trying to do an SSI include of the Article Manager navigation on the Advanced Search page and on the Search results page and I cannot get it to come up. It is working fine on my static pages and on my Article Manager pages within the template. However, it is not working on my search pages. I have tried absolute path, relative path, etc but can't get it to work. Is this an impossibility?

Here is a link to the home page:

http://d1998898.user21.savvysitesinc.com

Search box is on this page.

Here is the search code on the home page:


<form find="class" action="http://d1998898.user21.savvysitesinc.com/cgi-bin/se/exec/search.cgi" method="GET">
span class="style3">SEARCH</span><br />
<input type="text" name="search" value="" size="18">
<input name="image" type="image" value="Search" src="../images/se_arrow.jpg" alt="Submit" align="top" width="25" height="25">
<input type="hidden" name="skin" value="search_results.shtml"><br>
<a href="http://d1998898.user21.savvysitesinc.com/cgi-bin/se/exec/search.cgi?template=search_form.shtml" class="style1">Advanced Search</a>
</form>

Please help!

Nina

Hi Nina,

I think I followed up with you about this in an email, but here's my reply in case anyone else was interested:

It looks like you've changed the file extension for your _search_form.html template to ".shtml". Search Engine can't use this file unless it keeps the default naming scheme, so you'll need to change this back to ".html". This is somewhat related to your other problem however - most servers do not allow Server Side Includes to be used when users visit pages with the .cgi extension (which is what is being used on the search.cgi page as well as search results pages). Depending on your hosting account, you might be able to set some custom extensions for SSIs through your hosting control panel. If your server allows this, try adding the .cgi extension to see if that lets your search pages load the Article Manager elements. If not, you will need to hard-code these elements onto your _search_form.html and _search_results.html files.

Let us know if you have any other questions Nina!
