I used a mod located at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/forum/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=LSQLDisc&Number=98906&page=&view=&sb=&vc=1 for inserting headers and footers outside of the templates dir. How do I apply this for 2.0? Thanks.

Create Global tags through the admin script.

Search this forum for Global.

If you are using 2.0.1, then you can just do:

<%include /full/path/to/file.txt%>

Cool, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to include a different file for each category. This was possible with links 2.0 and linkssql 1.13 with some modifications.

I used the tag <%include<<header>>%>

You could then specify a different file.txt for each category, using the header field.

Is this possible in linkssql 2.0.2, and how?

Check alex's message on the new tags and tag processor for the 2.0.2 version. I think it addresses these issues.

Sorry, Pugdog, I have searched all the forums, but I can not find that message. Where is it?

This is what the header and footer fields in the Category table record are for! If you give it a filename (or a header LESS THAN 20 characters), it looks for the file in the :

$CFG->{admin_root_path}/footers/ and $CFG->{admin_root_path}/headers/

Directories. The links install doesn't automatically create those directories, but you can just create them with most FTP programs (they are in the admin directory with the defs,backup, templates, etc. directories).

Alex should _REALLY_ expand the processing system, and allow the setting of:

$CFG->{footers} = some/user/path
$CFG->{headers} = some/user/path

But I'm sure he will get around to it.

The <%header%> and <%footer%> variables then contain the category specific information from that category record's automatically included file.

I did what you said, made new folders "headers" and "footers". It is working great. Thanks a lot for your help, pugdog!

Would be very happy to see this future soon. Alex?

Added to the todo list. =)

Cheers,

How is this done in 2.0.4 ?
I read that include files are referenced to admin/templates directory but I would like to reference from root ie /home/username/public_html
