Conditional SSIs and Test Server

Report · Aug 13, 2008

I use conditional Server Side Includes (SSIs) in a number of my developed sites.
For example in the 'index.html' file I use;



and in the 'header.html' i use;


SOME HTML HERE


I can not get the Dreamweaver test server to execute the conditionals in the 'header.html' file.
I am assuming that is because it is an embedded (nested) file.

Does anyone know how I can get dreamweaver to parse the nested html file???
Thanks.

Gary.

Nope, renamed both files and it still does not work.

It seems to be parsing the 'index.shtml' but not the nested 'header.shtml' So, SSI is working, just not the nested SSI file?

The site runs fine with a local Apache Server.

Sorry - don't have any further suggestions....

You want DW to display nested SSIs content in Design View, is that correct?

It's possible, but you'll need to extend DW to do it. Take a look in the
Configuration/Translators folder at the code in "Server Model SSI.htm".

Or maybe someone has already written an extension to do this?

Hope this helps,
Randy

Randy, that's exactly what I want!
I just do not want to spend time writing an API to do it....

Hummmmm....

All of the code and API calls that you need is there, you just need to
refactor it a little bit to recursively look for nested SSIs. :)

Hint: you only want a single set of lock tags surrounding the outermost
SSIs (i.e. don't nest the lock tags).

HTH,
Randy

I'm sure not aware of one, Randy.
