SSI Server Side Includes searchable?

I'm creating a site that uses Server Side Includes to pull
content into pages. The client wants to include a Search function
to the site. My question is can a search function not only find the
SSI pages but pull them up directly?
Please see
http://www.trainride.org/mtm_index.shtml
The 2nd line of the bottom navigation are links that pull
content into the page with server side includes. Is there a way to
search and load the content pulled in by the server side includes?
Any help would REALLY be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Melissa,
I believe that the search engines create their indexes using
spiders
that walk through all of the browser links in your site. The
content of
your SSIs get embedded into your page on the server, so there
is no
actual link by the time the page gets to the browser.
So, I think you need to add a hyperlink to your SSI pages
some (maybe
hidden) place in your site so the spiders will find them.
HTH,
Randy

Spry accordion widget - SSI (server side include) as content in the panel

After having inserted the following command <!--# include file = "content2.asp" -> in the accordion Panel Content I get an error in Dreamweaver - every time I open the file. See the error in the attached picture.
Once all files are uploaded to the server it works apparently without problems or script errors.
Is there anyone who can help me to use SSI "server side include" as content in accordion panels?

Thanks for your reply.
The fault lay in the SSI file. This file contained these tag:
</ html>
And of course the tag </ html> generate an error if the tag is inserted in the content of the accordion panel via ssi file.

SSI (Server Side Include)

Hi folks.
I have installed J2EE SDK 1.4_03 and I'm interested in using it to develop my personal website locally on my PC. At a later date I wish to upload it to a paid web host.
The reason I have chosen to run a server rather than just accessing html files directly from my hard-drive is because I would like to utilize SSI (Server Side Include). That's really all. I'm not really interested in doing anything too interactive between the viewer and the server! Not yet anyway.
I have found various information online but nothing is working. I'm sure there is information that I am missing or something further I need to do to actually initiate it. The information I have found says to un-comment the various section in the file default-web.xml located in this folder c:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\config for this to be activated globally. Below is a copy and pasted chuck of text that I have un-commented within this file..
Secondly I'm putting my test html pages in the folder C:\Sun\AppServer\domains\domain1\docroot using the include syntax that I have found all over the net such as  & others.
I can not get the thing to work. I'm guessing there is more to it. For a start... am I putting my html pages in the correct folder for this to work? And Is there something I need to do to activate the ssi servlet? The only reason I'm putting my test pages in this folder is because the page at http://localhost:8080 says that I can overwrite the index file to replace it. Is this the correct place for this?
Also this class has me thinking... org.apache.catalina.servlets.SsiInvokerServlet Am I suppose to download this separately and put it somewhere? If so where is it? And where do I put it? I am horribly confused and I can not find any further information on this.
If anyone could help me out on this topic I'd really appreciate it. btw, I'm a beginner in this area... I'd really just like to server html pages with ssi features at this point. Nothing more. The server seems to be working.
Thanks,
Tane

You can always use jsp:include or Apache tiles or something similar. I have not used SSI in a while, but you may want to check out those technologies, as they offer more than simply includes.

What language should I use if I am a beginner to using SSI (server side includes)?

I want to start using server side includes and understand how to also code them by hand. What is the easiest way to begin? Do I just php?
-Kate

First question you need to ask your Host is if they support server-side includes and which document extensions you can use.
Common extensions:
.shtml, .shtm, .php, .asp, .cf.

SSI (Server Side Includes) - Can't see when using "Preview in Browser"

Hi,
Using Dreamweaver CS3
I can see all my includes in Design View, but not when I "Preview in Browser"... Any way to see them also when I preview in browser?
Best regards
CB

That worked very well, thank you so much~~

Dreamweaver previews first Server Side Include Only (SSI)

Dreamweaver CC and 2014 preview the first Server Side Include (SSI) only, even if the Adobe extension is installed (Using the SSI extension in Dreamweaver to create page headers | Adobe Developer Connection)
How do I set Dreamweaver to preview multiple (more than one) SSI's?
Example Code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>


</body>
</html>
The code above will preview the text in "Content.shtml" but will not display the text in "content2.shtml".
For troubleshooting purposes, I have reduced the content in each file to only single lines of basic text.
Please advise. Thanks.
Update:
Dreamweaver Live View will show all of the server side includes. However the "Design View" and "Preview in Browser" will only show the one ssi.
The following Preference settings are enabled:
-Preview using temporary file
-Show contents of included file
Update 2:
I discovered that server side includes have been removed from the Dreamweaver interface, inferred from this article: A Look at the Modernized Dreamweaver CC : Adobe Dreamweaver Team Blog. If Server Side Includes were removed, can they be added again using the Server Behavior extension?

The issue is fixed in Dreamweaver 2014.1

Server-Side Include Issue - Please Help

I am having trouble using server-side includes in
Dreamweaver. When I use the SSI to insert the header file, the
header document shows up on the page in design view, but I cannot
click anything. The cursor turns into a "no sign" no matter where
it is on the page. I cannot see anything but the header document,
and I cannot click outside of it or anywhere else in design view.
When I test the whole document in a web browser it actually seems
to work just fine. I see the header and the other text on the page
(unlike in dreamweaver, I cannot see anything but the header). Also
in Dreamweaver code view, the php tags and the included filename
are in red. This is the code for the test document:

What does the code look like in header.php? Does it have
<html>, <head>
and <body> tags? It should not.

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 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?

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 rendering

Hi, I'm on CS5.5 (Windows operating environemnt). The server-side includes are not rendering in Live view now, whereas they were previously. Is this some sort of configuration issue, if so can you help me fix it.

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?

Server side includes: outdated and not supported by host?

I've been using SSI's for ages with no problem from any host. Recently I signed up with a new web hosting company, one of the more established ones in the Seattle area. They do not support SSI's and claim that using them is not safe and is not a modern approach to web design. They suggested I use a more advanced programming language to create my sites, such as ASP.NET (something I have no desire to do).
Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
-Jesse

Are server side includes outdated and no longer the way to do things? I find that hard to believe.
That language is from Microsoft who seem to think so along with Windows based hosting providers offering ASP.NET.
IIS no longer comes with SSI installed by default. It has to be configured by the hosting provider.
http://blogs.iis.net/robert_mcmurray/archive/2010/12/28/iis-notes-on-server-side-includes- ssi-syntax-kb-203064-revisited.aspx
However, classic SSIs (in the sense of including static content from one page inside another) are still one of the most powerful, safe and flexible tools for managing repetitive page elements in any web page. Not to mention easy.
ASP.NET has its own way of doing the equivalent of SSIs - and lots more beside but much of which does not interest web designers at this stage.

Server-side includes not showing in new DW CS5.5. Any suggestions?

I have used DW for years and years and have never had any problems. I just installed CS5.5 and am not seeing my php includes in the design pane. I've searched the forums but have not found a working answer.
I'm editing files I've edited in CS5 and earlier with no problem.
I've checked the server-side includes box in the configuration but no change occurs.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

"Server-side includes" equivalent in DW CC

I am a long-time HTML coder, having been hand-writing HTML since the days of Mosaic. However, I am a complete newbie with DreamWeaver CC. I have gone through the entire "Bayside Beat" tutorial.
I am used to using "server-side includes" to include common sections of code on all of my pages. For example, I include this at the top of every body:

and this at the end:

Following along with the "Bayside Beat" tutorial, I see how to copy those sections from one page to another. However, what happens if I need to make a change in one of those sections?
For example, if I were to add a 6th page, I would need to edit the menu, and then manually propogate that change to every page. Or, next year, when I want to change the copyright to "2014", I again need to manually edit every page.
Is there any way to say "this section is to be identical on every page that includes it, and automatically propogate any changes to all of those pages"?

I can't remember when Adobe loused this up. Probably in DW CS6.
My workaround is to create my own SSI code in my Custom Snippets folder. I have one for .shtml/.asp pages and another for .php pages. One click inserts the code.

<?php require_once('includes/my-include-file.php'); ?>
Once inserted, click on the include statement in code view and you'll see a small properties box where you can browse to the actual file or Edit the include file. It takes a lot longer to explain than it does to do it. Bottom line, it's quick and you don't need any 3rd party extensions.
