Include page not updated by IIS
|

First off, I love News Manager. But I'm having an issue with IIS I need some help on.
I have the page that News Manager publishes the articles to included on my site's main page. Just the title and date are displayed and the articles open in a new pop-up window. You can see my site at http://thelcrp.net.
I use FrontPage to develop (yeah, yeah, I know) and IIS on my server. I don't want to have to use .shtml as the extension, so I use "webbot" includes (which enables server side includes with a standard .html extension) to include the News Manager publish page on the main web page. The problem is that when a new article is added, it is not shown on the main page for quite some time without recalculating the web. Accessing the publish page directly does show the new article. I have had to wait several hours before the new article is shown on the new page. If I recalculate the web in IIS, it shows the new page right away. My guess is that IIS is caching the page to be included, and since that page is not being modified with FrontPage, IIS doesn't know it has changed and is not updating the cache.
How can I configure IIS to show the new publish page immediately (or at least within several minutes) without having to recalculate the web, or modify the file and save it again with FP?

Hi Heath,
Alas, I'm not familiar enough with FrontPage extensions to know exactly how the webbot include works -- we usually recommend users use SSI's, which would, as you mentioned, require a .shtml extension.
Sounds to me like your site manually rebuilds the pages it serves up every few hours, unless you tell it to manually. I suspect that updating something with FrontPage would tell it to update manually, but of course News Manager doesn't. So, the only suggestions I have is to find out how it updates and tell it to update more frequently... or to wait a few hours for updates to take effect. :/
I hope this helps. :)

That's what I was hoping to find out.  I thought maybe the issue had come up before and someone here would know. I'll ask around at a couple other places like experts-exchange.com. If I come up with something, I will report back here.
On other off-topic question: what do you use to run the forums here?
