Gossamer Forum: Products: Gossamer Links: Version 1.x: SSI for USER personlization..

ok.. well.. i'm not planning on use page.cgi for all of my pages (only plan to use it for dynamic categories and detailed pages) so i just made a simple script to use for the users.. it uses the cookies to get the username and all the info..

http://www.pdamania.com/ssi.txt

you'll need to to add this to HTML_Templates.pm:

Code:
sub site_html_home_ssi { 
# -------------------------------------------------------- 
# MOD: Displays USER Information via SSI. 
# 
	my ($user) = @_; 
	(ref $user eq 'HASH') or croak "HTML_TEMPLATES: Argument '$user' must be hash reference"; 

	print &load_template ('home_ssi.html', {  
									  %$user, 
                                      %GLOBALS 
                            }, undef, undef); 
}

as well as &site_html_home_ssi to @EXPORT..

then you need to make home_ssi.html. something like this

Code:
<%if Username%> 
Hi <%Username%>! 
<%endif%> 
<%ifnot Username%> 
Welcome to our site! 
<%endif%>

it also works with the category editor thingy.. you just need to make another copy and change the subroutine (yea.. that's a reason why it sucks Smile

).. and then do the similiar for html_templates.pm and then make a different template.. with if isEditor

in the category one.. if you need the category ID.. just add $category_id to the subroutine call.. and add $category_id to the sub in html_templates.pm as well..

the most effective way to use this is adding DYNAMIC => $dynamic, to all of the template loading variables thingy.. and then in the template use

Code:
<%if DYNAMIC%> 
<%if Username%> 
Hi <%Username%>! 
<%endif%> 
<%ifnot Username%> 
Welcome to our site! 
<%endif%> 
<%endif%> 
<%ifnot DYNAMIC%> 
<!--#exec cgi="/ssi.cgi"--> 
<%endif%>

sorry.. too lazy for more detailed instructions Smile
