SSI Within a Template?

(1/4) > >>

Overseer:
I hope to use SSI to include some custom scripts in my template... for 3 purposes

1) a randomised section for adverting my affils. they each get a short text description/a small banner/ and a link..

2) a news feed from my sister news site (it will have an rss feed when they're done writing the scripts..) (i know i cant SSI from outside my domain)

3) an advertising banner script (so i only have to change this to update adverts, and not every page on the site)


So far i've done a little investigation with SSI.. seems like the pages have to be called .shtml to get it to work. and other than that i'm pretty much lost.. for now.

With YSE you could use php in the template to the same effect:


--- Code: ---<? include('mypage.html'); ?>
--- End code ---


I'm guessing it will be the same with SMF :)

Overseer:
cool thx, sounds real easy  :D

the only thing i now see 'issues' with now is how to get the output from the news on the other site onto my board.


is it possible to write a php script that 'copies' the page returned from a script (also php, but i guess that doesnt really matter) running on the other site  as the output from the local script?

(so basically a page, i know i can query the scripts on the other site with parameters, they're being custom written by a firend)

۞:
Anything is possible :P

If it was I'd be swimming in red wine with naked women all around me... don't you say anything is possible.....
