I have read, and tried to implement the subroutine calls for including an html file on the cgi pages. I have tried using the subroutines listed in Link2 discussions, and SQL Discussions (http://gossamer-threads.com/...=&vc=1#Post99091)

I have looked over all of the code, and it appears to be ok.

The error I get is: Can't find file: /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/lessonplansearch.com/htdocs/cgi-bin/admin/templates/file

Problem is: I have set the root path as being: /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/lessonplansearch.com/htdocs/ssi (not the one that it is looking in - I have no idea how it is getting that path)

I had it working when I was using Links2, but with SQL, I am having difficulty.

Thank for any help!!

Please provide all the codes you have added. The error message only indicates that you have probably not configured a variable somewhere or you have hacked the codes incorrectly.

I added the codes EXACTLY as they are at the url I put above.

In Links.pm:
# Path where included files are located
# NO Trailing Slash
$LINKS{db_files_path} = "/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/lessonplansearch.com/htdocs/ssi";

# Included file name
$LINKS{includefile} = "left.htm";


In HTML_Templates.pm:
sub include_file {
# -----------------------------------
# This is a list of patterns to the appropriate shtml page to load.
open (INC, "$LINKS{db_files_path}/$LINKS{includefile}") or return "Can't find include file: $LINKS{db_file_path}/$LINKS{includefile}";
return join ("", <INC> );
}



In the Globals:
includefile = > \&include_file,
(I used this as the second to last global and retained the comma)



In my add.html template:

<%includefile%>


I don't know what else you are looking for, but maybe you can see an error above.

Thanks,

Chad

If it matters, I have tried removing the / from the global (this is how it worked when I was using Links2)

ie.
includefile = > &include_file,


But it didn't work either....

Try removing the \ before include_file in the %GLOBALS section. I am not using the slash and it works just fine for me....

I did, it didn't work.

I also just removed the whole thing, and tried replacing the code, and it still didn't work.

Any other Ideas?

Nope...because the codes I've provided DO work.

Good luck!

Eliot,

Any chance of you posting the codes that you are using?

I just don't have any other Ideas.

Chad

It has something to do with the name 'includefile'. I changed it to insert_left, and it is now working.

Any ideas why?

Welp...I have already posted the codes I am using. And I used includefile as an example. I guess I should've been more specific about changing the variables and sub names.

Most likely <%includefile%> was hiccuping with the codes in the Template.pm module, since you can use <%include file.txt%>. So, the problem was that it was searching for file as the include file.
