Using includes with static pages?
I'm trying to use an include to display dynamic information. I added it to the templete file I'd like it to be in, but it's processing the information when it builds and not adding the actual include code into the document. Is there a way to get around this?


I'm guessing I would use a global for this, but not sure what to use.

You would probably need to write a Perl script, and use SSI to include it. The static pages get their information created at runtime, i.e when you run the build, so dynamic content will only show up correctly when being used with page.cgi.

That's what I'm doing. But I added the SSI into one of the template files. But like you said when it builds it's processing the ssi and displaying the information in the static pages. I want to the SSI to not be processed with builds.

You sure its processing it? nph-build.cgi only parses <%tags%>, not <!-- exec --> etc tags.... Unsure

Ok your right, it's not. It must be my script, I thought Links was processing it when I built. Sorry for the troubles.
