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.

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

Insert menu - no Server-Side Includes? Help!

Ok so I'm very new to Dreamweaver and web design in general. I bought the Adobe Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book and now, in Chapter 6, I'm being asked to use the Insert menu to choose Server-Side Includes... but there's nothing like that under the Insert menu.
I'm taking this step-by-step - also purchased Jennifer Robbins' "Learning Web Design" (in which she recommends Dreamweaver) so I'm trying to make it through BASIC Dreamweaver before going into Ms. Robbins examples... and I'm stuck... any help or suggestions? I did upgrade my CS6 Design & Web Premium package to the Creative Cloud versions - is this possibly why this menu item is 'missing'?
Thanks,
Clinton

In a nutshell, yes.
The Insert menu in the Cloud only version of Dreamweaver CS6 was radically overhauled in the most recent Cloud update
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/changes-insert-options-creative-cloud.html
Adobe has created a headache for users with this rather sudden, radical overhaul of the Insert menu without any prior warning - and no real obvious benefits for anyone. Seems to be a case of change for the sake of change
We now have two vastly different Insert menus of DW CS6: Cloud and non-Cloud.
It's a poorly timed design decision by Adobe with unfortunate impacts on both newbies (trying to learn from CS6 training material) and DW veterans whose workflow is interrupted for no good reason. The change should have been made in CS7 when everyone had time to adjust.
As you can see from the link above, there is no longer an option for SSI's via the menu. You'll have to hand code it.

Server side include problem in DW design mode

I am having issues with one computer out of three...Using DW
8 on Mac OS 10.4 Intel....
I have a server-side include set up to contain my navigation
(nav.shtml) inside of a DW template, and normally, the editable
regions can be worked in and the SSI area comes up blank until the
file is uploaded to the server (which is OK...).
On the third computer, however, the SSI area is actually
visible in DW, but the Editable Region containing the main content
area doesn't even show up, therefore we cannot work on web pages on
that computer. I know this must be a setting having to do with
using DW and a Mac as a web server, but I cannot find it! Anyone
have any clues?
Thanks so much!

Can you describe teh details of the problem, please?

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?

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 includes question

I preface this all by saying that I have never used a
server-side include but am considering it based on a suggestion
from a thread yesterday.
If I created a server-side include file that contained only
my title banner/nav bar and placed that file at the top of each of
my pages, would it then be possible to have content (Flash, in this
case) from an editable region in a template-based file display on
top of that banner? Can they overlap, I guess is what I'm asking.
Thanks - JAY

DW is quite smart enough to manage your page links.
Plus, if you can use virtual includes, then the link to the
include files
will be the same for any page in any location in your site.
So - you have no link worries in this sense. But a more
specific example
that leads you to ask your question might help get a better
answer here.

Using an editable region for a section-specific navigation
include is a
great way to do it.
Good luck!

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>

The current time in London is!!! :
<SERVLET CODE="CurrentTime" codebase="../servlet">
<PARAM NAME="zone" VALUE="GMT">
</SERVLET>

</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.

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.

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 from a table

The instructions are very basic and do not include instructions on how to use server-side includes from a table.
I can find nothing on Google or at Adobe on this subject, not even on the old InterAKT site.
Has anyone got a demo, tutorial etc. or just some advice please.
I have created a table in the database, embedded the script in the page but what now?
I find the server-side includes from a list easy to use but it has limitations that I hope server-side includes from a table will overcome.

I found the answer, all on my own. Go to http://www.interaktonline.com/Documentation/MXKollection/108000_sever_side_includes.htm
Its a video demo and all is revealed.

Server-Side Includes in weblogic server 5.1

 Hi,
 I tried Server-Side Includes examples in weblogic server 5.1 thru .shtml file.
 I am able to load the .shtml file but its not loading the included servlet. But
 I am able to load the included servlet alone separately.
 Somebody can be assist me what I have to do?
 I am using WebApplication WAR structure for my application.
 ex: http://localhost:7001/esp/hellooWorld -- loading the servlet
 http://localhost:7001/esp/html/ServletInclude.shtml -- not loading servlet
 where 'esp' name of the WebApplication
 The .shtml file code is given below
 <html>
 <body>
 <servlet name=hellooWorld>
 </servlet>
 </body>
 </html>
 Looking forward for some help
 Thanks


 Your WebLogic doesn't know it's supposed to be doing server-side includes. Make
 sure you have .shtml registered/enabled - see the docs.
