lunddal Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 I have an Apache server and FileMaker Unlimited with Web Server Connector, and I would like to know if this is possible: I would like to have a front page on the web server that is built up from several .html files using Server Side Includes and on that page I want to have a Recent News list with data from the FileMaker database. Please help me JLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Spall Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Hi Anatoli: quote: FM WebCompanion itself is capable of SSI. *******! i didn't know that Could i have been just using <!--#include virtual="header.txt--> instead of keeping all my pages up to date?: regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Jeff, the syntax is: [FMP-Include] What it does [FMP-Include] is replaced with the contents of another file, usually an HTML format file. Syntax [FMP-Include: Filename ] Parameter(s) First parameter: Name of the file to include. Syntax example(s) Include a file using an HTML file [FMP-If: CurrentError .eq. 509] [FMP-Include: requirefield.htm] [FMP-Else] [FMP-Include: othererror.htm] [/FMP-If] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Spall Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 boy am i DUMB! I've been using FMP-Include as part of an 'If" for ages. Never occurred to me it would work on its own!!!!! thanks, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Spall Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 This kinda strayed from the original question (my fault, but worth it 'cos i now have a new trick to play with !) If you have a webserver that understands the standard unix ssi commands and their extensions, you could embed the Filemaker data into the home page using a <webinclude> tag which calls a remote url into the page, but it must be a separate server - it won't work on the same host, even with two different ip addresses. so a line in the default page could be: <webinclude url='http://myfilemakerserver.com/datafolder/FMPro?-&stuff-&stuff-&stuff'> which could embed the Filemaker data and html regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunddal Posted July 25, 2001 Author Share Posted July 25, 2001 Thanks! I'll try, but at the moment FM is on the same server as the web server, so I'll have to find another machine. Regards, JLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunddal Posted July 25, 2001 Author Share Posted July 25, 2001 Now I've tried, but I can't get it to work. I know that WebSTAR has a SSI-WebInclude module, but I'm using Apache and the command does not work in Apache, or am I missing something here?

Newbies dynedwebmaster Posted September 17, 2001 Newbies Share Posted September 17, 2001 I tried doing a [FMP-Include: ] and it doesn't work. The entire syntax I used is: [FMP-Include: loginH.html] Does this need to be part of the results page of a query? Can't I just use it by itself? When I do this, I just get the tag displayed on the screen just as it is in the HTML. I'm using FileMaker Pro 5.0v1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 If you used the Syntax [FMP-Include: Filename ] and did not see the include file, than your file was not called from FM WebCompanion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
