Include Header File 1

[Kendel]

Hello EveryOne,

I'm new to FP so please take it easy on me

In Dreamweaver, when I need to include a file all I need is this statement:
<!--#include file=&quot;../help.asp&quot;-->

When I need to edit this help file, I only need to do at 1 place and all the page that has this file included will get affected.

But in FP, looks like the included file is written out in &quot;each and every single&quot; file. That mean I have to go through &quot;each and every single&quot; file to edit it. Is there a way to edit just one file and they all will get affected?

I'm trying the edit a site, they have this:
<!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot;
U-Include=&quot;../../shared/header.asp&quot; TAG=&quot;BODY&quot; startspan -->

---code of that header file is also written out here...


Can someone please help me out here?

Thanks.

Use the orginal code:
<!--#include file=&quot;../help.asp&quot;-->

Don't try to use FP includes. This relies on FP extensions & if they become corrupt, they will not work.

But to answer your question - go to the header.asp - edit it & save it. That should work. Also when using FP includes, the HEAD & BODY tag need to be there, unlike the &quot;normal&quot; file includes.

No, I think I confused you. FP includes was used originally in every single page. I did try to edit header file and save it but it didn't seem to work.

Event if I want to use normal includes now, I have to go to every single page change it.

What should I do now???

Many Thanks.

 

[CoreyBryant]

No I understood you. I was able to edit the include file (your header.asp) & it changed the included content on the other page.

Try adding just a few letters to your header.asp. You might need to go to Tools - Recalculate hyperlinks & then view your main page.

In the header file, there is a link name Help:

<a href=&quot;../help/default.asp&quot;>Help</a>

Now I change the href=&quot;../help/about.asp&quot; but when I click on &quot;Help&quot; it keep going to &quot;default.asp&quot;

 

[CoreyBryant]

Did you refresh your IE & clear your internet cache to make sure you were not pulling from your local machine?

And is this on your published files? Change Help to Test (just to see if that works.

I close the brwowser, refresh a couple time, still it doesn't work. &quot;Help&quot; is still &quot;Help&quot;, not &quot;Test&quot; as I changed it.

 

[CoreyBryant]

Do you mind giving me the URL so I could look @ it?

Did you use the web bot? The odd thing is:

http://www.coreybryant.org/example/testing.html

- if you look at the source code here - you will see:
<!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot; U-Include=&quot;included_content.htm&quot; TAG=&quot;BODY&quot; startspan -->

<p>included content</p>

<!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot; i-checksum=&quot;7478&quot; endspan -->

But on your source code, I do not see this. But you did reference that in your first post.

Yes they use Web bot. Does it mean I have to edit in all pages?

 

[Kendel]

<!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot; U-Include=&quot;../../shared/side.asp&quot; TAG=&quot;BODY&quot; startspan
-->

Here is how they included the side.asp

 

[Kendel]

Yes, it is here:

<!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot;
U-Include=&quot;shared/header.asp&quot; TAG=&quot;BODY&quot; startspan -->

In the default.asp

 

[CoreyBryant]

I went to

http://www.test.com/default.asp

& view the source. It is not there. What line is it on? This is what is there - which is actually in the header.asp:
<table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;>

Now having said that - I do not think that it works with ASP. I know the FP email forms do ont. I did the same thing here:

http://www.coreybryant.org/example/testing.asp

And if you look at the source code, you will not see <!--webbot bot=&quot;Include&quot; U-Include=&quot;included_content.asp&quot; TAG=&quot;BODY&quot; --> - but you do see it on your local machine.

No problem.. Sorry that I did not think it was ASP in the beginning. But I guess I was hoping that FP migght not mind that.

Do you mean the web bot is not showing on the server?
I have no idea. It's over my head.

 

[CoreyBryant]

No it is not. It is just showing the included content.
If you look at:

http://www.coreybryant.org/example/testing.asp

& then @

http://www.coreybryant.org/example/testing.html

(source code). Both are the same locally & were created the same - with the exception on is ASP & the other is HTML. A lot of the components do not work with FP. And this is just another one.
