UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Server Side Include isn't working in the header html?

I thought that in the header and the footer of your pages (you know where you can put html at the top and bottom of your page) it was suppost to be any web language goes? My SSI doesn't seem to be working on my forum, but it works on other webpages of my site. Anybody have any ideas on why SSI isn't working in my header? Any help would be great! Thanks.

You need to either do the html to shtml hack on your UBB or setup your web server to parse html pages as shtml pages.

i did this. i added a addhandler to parse html and i still cant get my ubb to include a header and footer ssi call.

what could i be doing wrong?

thank you

how did you add the addhandler?
using the .htaccess file? This method doesnt always work. Try asking your ISP to add it in your script so it always parses html as shtml.
Having said that, if you place a html file with a ssi call in it does it parse it or not? Just a test file.html

i had to add it to the root or whatever. i had a person im working with on my server add it according to my rack provider. my test files work and actually i made my header and footer file work that isnt a part of my ubb.

i dont get it. i did the same thing i did to my main site to the ubb and it dont work.

any suggestions wahts so ever?

thanks

Go into one of the threads on your BB, view the source code, save it to your hard drive (html), then edit it and manually put in the SSI call in the spot the header would normally appear. Save it, upload it and run it, now if that doesnt work then your server isnt parsing HTML as SHTML properly.

okay ill try that and see what happens. it should be set up right. but ya never know.

okay thank you sir. i appreciate it.

take er easy.
