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 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 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?
