Hi,

What do you mean by "CMSB ignores them".

I've been using the format <?php include ("page.php"); ?> and it works for me, but I think that it should work for including html pages as well.

Just a guess, but if there's PHP code that needs to be executed in the included copy, I think the included page may have to end in .php (not sure).

Hope that helps,

Hi osga,

Are you placing the include statements within PHP files, or are you adding them to content fields in the CMS? PHP functionality (such as include statements) won't parse from within content fields.

We were trying to use them in the Content Field of an article in cms, but since neither way will parse, we will do something else...

Thanks Guys...

I quite often use a check-box or similar in the CMS that I then use to display an include if selected.  Does that help?

It would be helpful if you posted a sample of the code you're trying to use including the context of where you're using it.

Best,

We were trying to use the codes included in the first post I created

<!--#include virtual="page.html" --> or <?php include 'page.html';?>

I even tried the one suggested <?php include ('page.html');?>

but none of it has worked.

Some actual trial page code would still be helpful

It's hard to tell what's going on from a few snippets

Thanks,

Hey Jerry,

I believe that they are just attempting to add the includes within CMSB content fields (which isn't supported), so there wouldn't really be any other code to show.

Hey Daniel,

I thought the same, but wanted to be sure and maybe offer an alternative.
