Server Side Includes with Server Behaviors

Is it possible to include pages that have server behaviors attached to them, or are these behaviors limited to pulling in just plain html from the included pages?
For example, I want two pages, index.php and login.php.
I want the login.php page to have all of the user login behaviors/links/fields/buttons/etc. and then Include that on the index.php page. Am I supposed to be able to do this using ADDT server side includes?
I've been successful using server side includes to include static text on a page, but not dynamic content with behaviors attached. I'm not sure if I'm just have a mistake, or if this won't work in the first place.
thanks!

Hi,
this is generally possible, as the included files sure can have their own server hehaviours -- did that several times, where the "container" page had about no server behaviours embedded, but the included file did.
ADDT´s server side includes will, loosely said, basically just "dynamically" strip the included document´s "head", but leave other components like server behaviours untouched

Server Side Includes with .irpt pages

I am intrested in using server side includes within my .irpt pages for example
<!#INCLUDE FILE="file.inc">
specifically inside of my applet tags to reference a standard set of parameters that I would like to be passed into my display templates. Does xMII have a similar representation of server side includes for .irpt pages?

It might make your head explode, but in a good way...
Also, you'll need 11.5 or newer to run this. There are so incredibly many opportunities that this might open up for you to deliver not only static, but also dynamic embedded server-side content.
There are many aspects of xMII that are largely untapped. A few common ones are the ability of the Runner servlet (which invokes xMII BLS transactions) to stream virtually any type of content back to the requestor (XML, HTML, text, images, PDFs, Excel, whatever).
The other feature that not too many people use is the ability to use an xMII BLS transaction as a "stylesheet".
Lastly, there is the little-known "<SERVLET>" tag that can be used in IRPT pages.
Put all these pieces together, and amazing things can be done. The example I'm going to show you uses a BLS transaction, but it can also be done with an XSL stylesheet (if the desired included HTML is static). But let's go for the cool approach...
Let's assume you have some "stuff", such HTML page content, that you want included in a specific position on your web page. Let's also assume that this "stuff" resides in a file accessible at http://localhost/MyInclude.html (the file extension doesn't really matter).
Create a new BLS transaction with no inputs and an output of type String (the name of the output doesn't matter - but in our case, let's assume you name it HTMLOutput). To workaround a cosmetic bug (which will be fixed in a future patch), you should also create a second output (doesn't matter what name or type) - so add one called "DummyOutput" of type String. Not worth explaining why - just do it.
Next, add either a TextLoader or HTMLLoader action (in the Web group) to your transaction (they both do the same thing, actually - just different icons). In the Output links tab, assign the StringContent of the loader action to the transaction output. This basically accomplishes the loading and streaming of your included "stuff".
Save this transaction. Let's save it in a folder called CoolStuff, with the name IncludeTest.
In your IRPT page, add the following code where you want the "stuff" to appear.
<SERVLET NAME="Illuminator">
     <param name="Stylesheet" value="xacute://CoolStuff/IncludeTest" />
     <param name="OutputParameter" value="HTMLOutput" />
     <param name="Output-Content-Type" value="text/html" />
     <param name="Content-Type" value="text/html" />
</SERVLET>
Save the IRPT page, load it, and you're in business!
You can probably already start to envision to possibilities for adding more sophisticated business logic to create "dynamically" embedded content in your IRPT pages...
Best regards,
Rick

Server side includes with htp package

I have a few procedures that call the htp package and generate dynamic web pages, however the server side includes are being treated as comments; they are not interpreted correctly and hence are not reading the associated file.
Has anyone encountered this before and found a solution?

Server-Side Include or what?

One of my sites:
http://www.plough.com has become more active, I need to do a redesign. One thing I have to change: the "Recent Articles" list has up to now been a library item. This worked fine as long as the site was small. But now checking out & checking in the whole site every time I list a new article is too much.
So what is the best method to include a list like this? I've looked into Server Side Includes - the server is SSI, so there are a lot of restrictions (the include can't be in a folder higher in the structure than the page it is on?
Seems like too much fuss. Is there any other way I could do this? All ideas welcome - I need to get some creative thought going.
Thanks

Another possible way is to use a spry dataset. (xml or html based) see -

Server Side Includes not rendering correctly in Firefox with Layers

Hi
The server side includes are not correctly rendering with layers in firefox. From my site here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index.php
the home_page.php content renders above a layer on the index.php page. Initially I thought this might be a Flash layer issue but the wmode is set correctly to transparent and it works fine with a normal ssi. It also works fine in Firefox without a server side include as you can see here:-
http://www.osteriastecca.com/index_old.php
Works fine in IE and Safari, but not Firefox.
How can this be rectified?
Regards
Glennyboy

What testing server setup do you have? Are you using something like WAMP?
What do you see on screen which tells you the SSIs are not rendering? Any error message?

Tabbed with Server Side Include

Has anyone had any problems adding Server Side Include to the Spry Tabbed Pannels, everytime the I add a SSI to the tabbed content is locks up the tabs.
Where the hell are to get support is this an interAKT, ADOBE or your on your own.

Hello,
I don't have an answer to your problem, because I've never tried this approach.
However, I can tell you that this is an USER-TO-USER forum. If you need to request technical support from Adobe, you need to go here:

Making drop down menus in server side includes

Can drop down menus be part of a server side include? If not,
how do I have drop down menus in my pages without copying the code
to all the pages individually?
I am working in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac. I've made the drop
down menus using the behaviors window. Everything is fine in the
original html file. When I use the file as an include in my main
page, the javascript drop downs do not work. I have the style sheet
used in the drop down file attached to the main page. What do I
need to do with the main page to have the drop down menu work? I
need to use this drop down on the majority of my pages. Thanks!
Note: I've taken out the extra code in the include file

Display Server Side Include at top of scrollable Div

Hello,
In this topic, I will be referring to the following containers on my page:
DIV A: Contains the content of the page; this div has overflow set to scroll.
DIV B: Contains the links
DIV A contains 3 different server side includes, each with a different ID. Using the Show/Hide Element, I have set it so that when a link in Div B is clicked, the appropriate server side include is displayed in DIV A, and the other two server side includes are set to hide.
The only problem is that when their appropriate links are clicked, SSI 2 and SSI 3 do not appear at the top of DIV A, but at the position they would be if all SSIs were set to show, so the user has to scroll to see SSI and SS 2.
Do you folks know of any way to have the SSI display at the top of DIV A?
It occurred to me that instead of using Show/Hide behavior, I may need to somehow include an SSI only when a DIV B link is clicked, and when a different DIV B link is clicked, that SSI is stripped form the page and the appropriate SSI is included.Is that even possible?
Does this make sense to all of you?
Thanks,
Mike

Without seeing your code, it could be how you are positioning these elements on your page. If you plan on showing/hiding layers you will need to position these layers to show in the same spot every time by setting the position of DIV A to relative and the position of the 3 layers inside to absolute with a top and left value set to 0.

Contribute changing relative path for server-side include

I am using Contribute CS3, version 4.1, and my pages crash
every time a send a draft for review, because Contribute is
rewriting a relative URL in a server-side include.
The server-side include (before I send for review) reads:

After I edit other portions of the page and send the draft
for review, it reads:

Which results in the draft being unreadable.
Is there any way to tell Contribute not to monkey with this
URL? I have hunted, read the forums, checked the knowledge base,
and coming up empy.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!! I really
appreciate it!
-Nicholas

Answering my own question.
I researched this complete forum and with taking ideas from
different posts, I was able to figure this out. I thought I would
post it for anyone else needing to know the answer in one place:
Include tags must read:

(Include file is NOT a real HTML doc -- no tags in file
except for CSS, as it would be used if not using Contribute.)
No reference to .dwt needed nor Template created.
No Edit instance tags needed anywhere.
Contribute user navigates to page:
[Upper right corner] Click Choose...
[In my structure] User opens includes folder (double clicks)
User selects THE file (clicks OK)
User clicks on Edit Page button
(Text is now editable.)
User edits text.
User clicks on Publish button.
Worked for me several times trying.

Problem in Server side includes using Tomcat

Problem in Server side includes using Tomcat:
I am trying out small programs in servlet.
I get one example program for server side includes from net.
The code is:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Times!</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
The current time in London is!!! :
<SERVLET CODE="CurrentTime" codebase="../servlet">
<PARAM NAME="zone" VALUE="GMT">
</SERVLET>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I placed this test.shtml file in tomcat-home/webapps/ROOT folder and i kept the servlet in WEB-INF/classes folder.
I renamed the servlets-ssi.jar and i removed the comments for SSI in web.xml file.
When i run the servlet separately, i am getting the correct result. But if i run shtml file with the URL : http://localhost:8080/Test.shtml,
i am getting the result as:
The current time in London is!!! :
It is not invoking servlet program.
CAN ANYONE HELP ON THIS!
Thanks.

Thanks...as u said I tried putting dir & found that
my file was saved as Ch1Servlet.java.txt instead for
Ch1Servlet.java......So that was a problem.Now I'm
able to compile.Oh, yeah. Notepad will do that to you. I think when you save in Notepad if you put quotes around the name "Whatever.java" then it won't add the .txt.
But on compiling I'm getting the following error
package java.servlet.* does not exist
package java.servlet.http.* does not exist
package java.io.* does not exist
Do u the reason for this??? The servlet stuff is java[b]x.servlet. For the io stuff, I don't know, I'd have to see your code. Either you have a typo or a corrupt installation.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Server Side Includes

I would like to create a website that allows the business owner to post information by simply updating a Word or Excel document and uploading it to the server. I'm using a Server Side Include to bring in the .doc and .xls files. It kind of works... I can see the data from these files, but the formatting is crazy and includes a bunch of extra characters. I've set the extension as .shtml and selected "virtual" for the Apache server.
I've searched the forums for an answer, but it doesn't look as this has been addressed. Thanks in advance for you time!

Ah, very good point. I've actually tried that with some sample text and it shows up fine in my browser, but I had assumed that creating a page in Word or Excel wouldn't allow for the same level of functionality and aesthetic that I've created with the original page in Dreamweaver. I will go ahead and play with Word to see what can be achieved. Thanks and sorry for the newbie question!

Server Side Includes and Divs

I have a template (dwt) for my site with editable regions for
menus. I want to use Server Side Includes for the menu, as not all
the pages will have the same menu.
I have designed the site template (and pages) with css and
divs. The area for the SSI is a div of size 145x335. The menu which
I want to put inside this div will be a div based menu. I havent
had any luck displaying the Div from the SSI yet. I have been
looking on Google for help, but not much luck. I can get the Div to
appear but the formatting doesnt show up.
Im putting the SSI code in where I want it on the page, but
im not sure exactly which code to get rid of in the shtml file. I
know I need to remove body, head parts etc
My site template uses CSS stored on the document, not an
external css file.
Any ideas?

> Im sure Ive not got it right yet!! My head wont work
lately!
Yes. It's not working well here, either.
Create your template with the editable region. In it, have
links to a) the
general stylesheet for all the pages, and b) the general
stylesheet for all
of the includes (these don't really need to be separate
files). Spawn a
child page, drop in the desired include, and save that page
as
whocares.shtml.
That's it....
The incude files themselves can be names anything you want -
I like the
'monkeybutt' extension, e.g.,
yourinclude.monkeybutt
The include files can make reference to CSS selectors, but
cannot have
embedded CSS rules, or links to external CSS files.

Server Side Includes for Apache and parsing text files

I have an old website I used to do zipped up and I decided to set it up on my personal webserver in OS X . I got apache configured to allow server side includes (edited the httpd.conf to all them:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews Includes
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
But I can't get the pages to come up. See I have this .shtml page which loads fine and a part of it has this line:

But it won't parse that txt file and show the html that its formatted in.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get it to parse that txt file? Even if I load just that txt file it shows raw code not it formatted. Please help.

Ignore that first reply. I thought I was dealing with server.
As usual, I fogot to make sure that Includes was in the Options directive for the DOCUMENT_ROOT or VirtualHost. After 10 years, you'd think I'd remember that. I just configged one of my macs to do SSI. Here's the 3 lines that I changed:
Line 399 (the DOCUMENT_ROOT definition): Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes
Line 887 (To use server parsed HTML): AddType text/html .shtml
Line 888: AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
apachectl restart
and off it went!

Server-side includes not working

Running CF9.x on Apache 2.2 Win 7.
I inherited an older html multiple page site that we are breaking down into includes using html server-side includes:
e.g. , and saving the page as a .html file, which is then <cfincluded> in a .cfm file.
Is there a way to get  include working on a CF page? All I see is the contents of the page, but none of the sidebar.html, or header.html, etc.
I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
TIA,
Doug

I know I could switch to cfincludes, but the boss LOVES to muck around with the html side of things.
All the more reason to do it, surely?
But anyway...
I've never used a server-side include, but it looks to me that they just load the file and return it at that position in the document.
For CF code to be executed, the file needs to be REQUESTED, so it won't be a starter with server-side includes.
