Getting frustrated.

Can't Post

Okay now I'm getting a little frustrated.
We tried to do the php build - as per a previous thread.
Certain things still didn't build properly (even though everything switched to the proper of php) because of finding the proper placeholders.
WELL....
I switched BACK to SHTML.
Did the "convert php includes to ssi's"
Redid the templates *USING* yours as the basis to ensure the placeholders were correct.
Now look at the errors I'm getting:
(yes, I know its not perfected BUT)
http://www.thatsubject.com/topics/publish/index.shtml
Constantly things that say,
[unknown placeholder $article.title$]
[unknown placeholder $article.summary$]
I took these RIGHT from your templates, which say : $my.siteName$ $article.title$
So *PLEASE* tell me why this is not working?? 
This site should have taken a week to be live. I've been fighting with this stuff for close to two weeks now, and I can't even go much further at this point.
These exact things work on my main site, dime-co.com which uses the same system, and I've had NO problems there - just here.
I'm paying monthly for this and with it not working, its costing me.
Help?
Amber

Any ideas on why the placeholders aren't showing just in some places?
Please? Suggestions? Anything I can do? I'm really getting on a time crunch here.

Hi Amber,
Thanks for the post! 
I've had a look at this for you and it seems that the issue you're running into here is just related to where these placeholders are being used.
When you're viewing a full article the placeholders for $article.title$, $article.summary$, etc. actually have values and will be output. This is because you're able to output article details anywhere on an article page.
That said, on the category index page that you've linked to, these placeholders won't have any values outside of Article Manager's templatecells. In the template that's creating this index page (/articleLists/categoryIndex.html ) there's a block of code called "templatecell : articleRow". There should be an opening and closing tag and the content between these is what will be output for each article.
What I'd recommend is having a look at the default template /articleLists/categoryIndex.html to get an idea of the placeholders and how these are used by default.
The key thing to keep in mind moving forward is that on this categoryIndex.html template any "article" placeholders ($article.title$, $article.summary$, etc.) will need to be between the opening and closing templatecell tags (<!-- templatecell : articleRow --> and <!-- /templatecell : articleRow -->).
I hope this helps Amber!

Hi Mike, thank you so much for the reply.
I can see what you mean, but I thought this to be really strange because the placeholders on dime-co.com appear *exactly* as I had them on thatsubject, because I took them from the dime template LOL.
*However*, a thought also crossed my mind after looking at this further from your post.
I'm "thinking", that the page I put up was the index page... and those placeholders where usually in those locations on my article pages.
So - that could be why its not appearing on the frontpage... it isn't supposed to be there like that.
I'll try a few things like you suggested and see what happens and let you know.
Amber
