<!--#include virtual="footer.html" -->
 

Can you hard link a virtual include? For example,

<!--#include virtual="http://www.blah.com/mc/footer.html" -->

And you have numerous directories with html files that use that footer.html file? Or do i have to upload the footer.html to each specific directory and use <!--#include virtual="footer.html" -->?

:helpme

You can "hard" link it. I do it all the time. Menu's, headers, footers, etc. etc. Saves a lot of time when something needs to be changed.

Yep works for SSI and php

arggg

I keep getting:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Does it still have blah.com as the url?..:Graucho

Maybe SSI isnt on the other box?

Is your file named .SHTML instead of .HTML?

Same server. same domain..

yes

You should be using PHP :)

<? include "http://www.blah.com/path/to/footer.html; ?>

:glugglug

I find php way more nicer to use for that as well.

you need to use a directory structure on your local server when using ssi. as far as i know you can't pull from other sites or files located on other servers.

you are able to use /dir/bah.txt

i'm not sure if using a html file will work either, you could try renaming it to txt (it will still output it as html)

I was going to say the same thing. You can even keep the pages .html and add a line to your .htaccess

you CANT hardlink using SSI - at least I have never been able to do it - those claiming to have done it either have a special server setup or are talking out their arses :)

As the last couple of guys said - php is the way to go - you can hardlink as you need to do without any hassles.
