Custom Template Installation Can't Post

Hello,
First, I've read on how to install a custom template, IE: <? include("http://www.traderjoesboatsales.com/lm/exec/search.cgi?template=_MiniSearch.html"); ?> Now when I run the website @ http://www.traderjoeboatsales.com I get NOTHING. But if I use the URL http://www.traderjoesboatsales.com/lm/exec/search.cgi?template=_MiniSearch.html the page displays. I've tried varations like include file /lm/exec/so on, I tried include virtual /lm/exec/so on.

So,please help, no judging my website we have about 10 minutes involved into it.

Thank you for any and all hrlp

Hi Peppino,

I was able to bring up your site here:

http://www.traderjoesboatsales.com/

There don't seem to be any listings entered into the software right now, which might be why you're not seeing the intended result.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi Jake,

Thank you for the quick response. I am trying to include a search template I created of about 5 fields into the main page. I thought the correct syntax was <? include(http://traderjoesboatsales.com/lm/exec/search.cgi?template=_Minisearch.html); ?>. If you go to the url http://traderjoesboatsales.com/lm/exec/search.cgi?template=_MiniSearch.html the template works properly, when the url is executed in the include statement the template does not work. I hope I am more clearer.

Hi Joe!

You have a slight typo in the link that doesn't work -- files are case sensitive, and your template is "_MiniSearch.html", not "_Minisearch.html"

I hope this helps. :)

Sorry Donna, typo in my post, both files are set to _MiniSearch.html. I missed typed the post, sorry. I was hoping it would be that simple.

Hi Joe,

Can you give me the link to the page where you have the include syntax?

Hi Joe,

It doesn't look like there's any error message, or anything else showing up on that page, which is a bit odd. You may want to contact your hosting provider and check to see if they allow you to include a full URL like that -- some providers don't allow that.

Otherwise, I think I might recommend filling in a support request with your FTP information so we can take a closer look for you. :)

Re: [Donna] Custom Template Installation [In reply to] Can't Post

Ok Donna, think about this. when I type in the location box of my browser http://traderjoesboatsales.com/listman/exec/search.cgi?template=_MiniSearch.html I see the fields in a blank page. Now when I try to use an INCLUDE statement nothing gets displayed. Now I tried something, I purposely mispelled the template name from _MiniSearch.html to _MiniSearch.htm (NO "L") when using the url in the browser I get this error message "Invalid template name: _MiniSearch.htm" Now I apply the mispelled template name in the INCLUDE syntax and I DON'T get any error message. It seems like the INCLUDE is being skipped. I checked with the server hosting support and they said there is no reason for the INCLUDE not to work, other inclusions in the page load properly.

WHEW!

Hi Joe,

I just noticed that you're using PHP to include the results from this link. PHP includes cannot actually include the results of a CGI script - you need to use some alternate methods to do this, which are discussed here:

I hope that gets you on the right track. Smile
