Help? Category placeholders not working in menu...
|
Can't Post
|
|
I must be missing something.
I've revised the look of the site - took the *original* templates, and took all the placeholders, code, etc. and pasted it exactly as it should be, into my new design.
The articles show properly, date, etc.
BUT... for the life of me I can't get the headlines or category lists to show up. 
Example:
http://www.dime-co.com/column/
On the right (middle) column, I had the headlines :
<!-- INCLUDE TOP HEADLINES (from each category) -->
<!--#include virtual="$published.groupedHeadlines.webpath$" -->
to appear - they don't.
On the far right, I had the category list to appear under the words, "All Topics"
<!-- INCLUDE CATEGORY LIST -->
<!--#include virtual="$published.globalMenu.webpath$" -->
<!-- INCLUDE SEARCH FORM -->
<!--#include virtual="$published.searchbox.webpath$" -->
For some reason none of them are working.
I'm still adding categories so right now I just figured I'd play with the base ones you guys had before adding all the new ones and doing the full build, but I am not sure what I'm missing here, since I did take it from the original pages.
And the search box doesn't appear there either (it only appears up top because I had it hard coded from the Artman 1 program, I just updated the link).
I'll keep going on my templates - but if anyone has any suggestions as to what I'm missing, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm trying to put it live Monday. (Yes, I know you guys don't work weekends - lol - I try not to either, but no choice this time 
When someone comes in... I'd appreciate help :)

Hi,
I've just taken a quick look at your site and it looks like you have the file extension set to .html - is that correct?
If so as far as I know .html files don't support the 'file include' command. Depending on your server you would need to set your page extension to either .shtml or .asp. If you use .php pages the command for including files is slightly different - <?php include("yourpagenamehere"); ?>.
hope that helps in some way

Hi Dan - thanks, I forgot about that. Been working a lot with php lately so I forgot it didn't work automatically with html LOL.
Thanks :)
