Passing listing_file to SSI	Can't Post

I want each listing to appear as the included file within a single page, e.g. xyx.htm
I want to be able to click any link in the listings index page and pass the corresponding listing_file to xyz.htm so that listing_file is the included file referenced in the SSI statement.

How is this done?

Hi,

Thanks for the post!

I've been looking over this for you here and based on what you've outlined it's a bit tough to see what the best way to do this might be. I'm a bit curious as to what you were looking for regarding the single page. Would this necessarily need to be an HTML page or is this something that you'd be able to set up with PHP? I'm thinking that if there is a way to do this, it's more likely that it'll work via PHP.

Just let me know and I'll have a look into this for you.

Thanks! Smile

Sure, PHP would be fine.

Hi,

Thanks for the post!

I've looked into this for you and this should be something you can set up. I'll outline the steps for you so you can give this a try:

1. First, create a file called "listing.php" and upload it to your "/listman/listings/" directory. The contents of this file should just be:

Code

<?php 
 $query=$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 
 include $query; 
?>

2. Next, you'll want to modify the /templates/_INDUSTRY/_publish_listing_index.html. You'll want to find anywhere you see this:

<a href="$listing_file$">

And replace it with this:

<a href="listing.php?$listing_file$">

Once you've made this change, re-upload this file and log into Listings Manager to click the four "Publish" buttons in the Setup Options.

From here, when you go to the listing index page and click on a listing you'll be taken to a URL that looks like this:

http://www.yoursite.com/listman/listings/listing.php?l0001.html

And this page will use a PHP include to bring in the listing details. If you'll need to have this PHP page external to the /listings/ folder, just let me know as there are a couple of quick tweaks that should allow you to set this up.

I hope this helps! Smile

But what is supposed to be in test.php?

Hi bytezmoi,

It looks like Mike just made a small mistake in his example above - "test.php" should actually be "listing.php" - I've gone ahead and edited his post to reflect this.

Let us know how this works out for you!
