Bobsie - You suggested that the code for defining the header.txt variable not be included in links.cfg. Where would be a better place to include it?
I have taken Elliot's code and used it as follows, but it isn't working. I don't get an error message, it just doesn't include the file. I think my mistake may be with the incorrect use of % or $.
In site_html_templates.pl - before the %globals section
Quote:
sub whats_new {
# -----------------------------------
# This is the what_new sub-routine. It will place the whats_new.txt into your web pages.
my (%patterns) = (
'MSIE' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/4' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/3' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/2.02' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/2' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/1.01' => 'whats_new.txt',
'Mozilla\/1' => 'whats_new.txt',
'other' => 'whats_new.txt'
);
foreach (keys %patterns) {
if ($ENV{'HTTP_USER_AGENT'} =~ /$_/) {
open (INC, "/ads/$patterns{$_}") or return "Can't find include file: $patterns{$_}";
return join ("", <INC> );
}
}
open (INC, "/ads/$patterns{'other'}") or return "Can't find include file: $patterns{'other'}";
return join ("", <INC> );
}
In the %globals section I have put
Quote:
whats_new => $whats_new,
Then in my template files, I have put <%whats_new%>
Elliot - when you said SSI needed to be activated, we are using NT IIS, and Frontpage and other "normal" includes work, however I am not using .shtml as my file extension.
Also, can the text files include <body> tags or should those be remmed from the text file (if you use frontpage to modify the file, it will put in the <body> and <html> tags.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
