Try to output board for news on frontpage of site

[okbluejays]

I've used this exact piece of code in the past with no issues but now I can not get it to output news to the front of my site

<?php include('http://www.*****/SMF/SSI.php?ssi_function=boardNews;board=2.0;limit=5'); ?>

I get the following message

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/hockey/public_html/index.php on line 15

Warning: include(http://www.hhhockey.net/SMF/SSI.php?ssi_function=boardNews;board=2.0;limit=5) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/hockey/public_html/index.php on line 15

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'http://www.hhhockey.net/SMF/SSI.php?ssi_function=boardNews;board=2.0;limit=5'; for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/hockey/public_html/index.php on line 15

Any help is appreciated.

Needs to be more like the following. Change the require statement so that the path is correct relative to your front page. You can leave out the $ssi_ and ssi_shutdown if you don't want to use the theme engine.

<?php
// Theme we're going to use
$ssi_theme = 4;
// Layers we're going to use
$ssi_layers = array('main');
// Enable GZip compression (saves bandwidth)
$ssi_gzip = true;

require('forum/SSI.php');

ssi_boardNews();

ssi_shutdown();
?>

Ok thank you I am getting closer with your help.

It is displaying most of what I want but I get a message

Notice: SSI.php was unable to load a session! This may cause problems with logout and other functions - please make sure SSI.php is included before *anything* else in all your scripts! in /home/hockey/public_html/SMF/SSI.php on line 160

Is the SSI file at that path? If not you need to change the require statement to reflect where the SSI file is at.

[okbluejays]

Already adjusted that part but still getting the message appearing above

Just to confirm, did you change the following:

Code Select Expand

require('forum/SSI.php');

to be:

Code Select Expand

require('SMF/SSI.php');

[okbluejays]

yes I have made that adjustment

[rsw686]

yes I have made that adjustment

Could you show us the file contents. Seems like there is something above the require line causing an issue.

So just as the error stated you need to include SSI at the top. You also don't need ssi_shutdown since you don't need to display the theme footer.

<!-- Header Start -->
<?
require('/home/hockey/public_html/SMF/SSI.php');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/header.php');
?>
<!-- Header End -->

<!-- Body Start -->

<!-- News Start --><title>Hard Hitting Hockey since 2001</title>
      <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="boxheader">
         <tr>
            <td id="boxheaderleft"><img src="/images/invisimage.gif" width="25" height="20" border="0" alt=""></td>
            <td id="boxheaderright">News</td>
         </tr>
      </table>
      
<?php ssi_boardNews(); ?>
<div id="boxspacer"><img src="//images/invisimage.gif" width="260" height="1" border="0" alt=""></div>
