I want to add random images or test instead of the logo. I can do this using SSI, but how would I add the SSI call tag? I am thinking this would be done as a global? Any insight into how this may be done would be appreciated.

BTW- I just finished installing gforum and it’s great! (but then again what else would you expect from GT.?)

You can define a global variable as a sub, and put the code of the file you would usually call with SSI into the sub.

Example:

1) define global: randomlogo as

2) include <%randomlogo%> in your templates.

Gee that was a quick reply.

I am not clear on the syntax-

Should it be?

sub { exec cgi="/script/path/script.cgi";}

or

sub { <!--#exec cgi="/script/path/script.cgi" -->;}

Thanks-

sub {

my $rand = int(rand(10));
my $result = "<img src=http://www.someurl.com/images/image$rand.gif>";

return $result;

}

Something like that :)

Then name your images, image0.gif, image1.gif etc

Actually I want to call a cgi.

<!--#exec cgi="/script/path/script.cgi" -->

How migjt this be done?

Hi,

You could do:

randomtag => sub {
return `/full/path/to/script.cgi`;
}

and then put:

<%randomtag%>

Thanks!

Alex,
I can't seen to get this global to work. It prints the path instead of calling the program??

Did you use backticks, and not quotes.. i.e. `, not '.

hi

the codes above work fine

but i cannot include html tags.

for ex. it appears like <IMG SRC="mysite/img/img.gif"> in my forum page instead of the real image. The Html code is not accepted.

(the cgi script that i use to include the image in a page works perfectly with ordinary pages or with Gossamer Links)

you see a way to include HTML ?

Try using:

my $out = qx|/full/path/to/script.cgi|;
return \$out;

instead of:

return qx|/full/path/to/script.cgi|;

....I don't guarantee it works though as I may have diagnosed the wrong problem

it half-worked before but it does not work at all now with this new code

thanx for your answer. cheers.

I didn't think it would, I just remember that a reference was needed in past cases when html wasn't interpretted properly so just took a wild guess.

Hi,

I use the script executer.cgi to emulate SSI calls in my Gforum. It works perfectly. It should work for you too!
