Hello all!

Been fiddling with phpdig off and on today for my webpage.

I was wondering if you can use .shtml files as a template. :?

I've tried without success so far. Not a big deal I guess but sure would be nice to integrate the code into the rest of the page. I've got the same look for the search page, just not using SSI. :D

Welcome to the forum, sparky. We're glad you could join us! :D

The basic templates that come with phpdig are .html files, so I don't know why .shtml wouldn't work, too. Maybe if you explained just how you're trying to customize the template, we could offer some solutions.

Using apache SSI includes.

The server won't load any of the includes unless it's a .shtml file.

<div id="container">
<!--#include virtual="/includes/banner.shtml"-->
<!--#include virtual="/includes/menu.shtml"-->


If it's saved as a .html file it doesn't parse the comments.

I tried saving the template as a .shtml file to no avail. Maybe I was just getting tired last nite. <shrug>

Have you read through this thread (http://www.phpdig.net/forum/showthread.php?t=348)? If not, try that solution, see if it works, and let us know one way or the other how it went. Thanks.

That should work.

Just couldn't find it without searching, couldn't search without posting.
