Text Includes (ssi?)

[makaveli]

Hello people

 

in the past i have used SSI to include content into pages, i.e index.shtml has latestnews.htm inside it... and the text formatting is set by the main page, but im doing some web des for somone who isn't to my knowledge technically minded in a web design way.

so what i would love to happen is that text files .txt are what are imported from "SSItexts" folder. and when my client needs to update say latest news they simply edit a baic .txt file

 

is this possible to do simply? as myself my knowledge doesnt reach a million miles

 

Thanks in advance

A little talking with ourselves fixes our problems sometimes.

 

Glad it´s working.

i thought talking with yourself was the first sign of madness

nah it was obvious really, all i told the document to do was include documer whatever.txt and it only works when its on a live server not local for sone reason but i'm now re-aware thats the case for SSI scripts

(i didnt define a site,, maybe that was what needs doing)

SSI can solve a multitude of problems. Glad you got it working.

 

And no...talking to yourself is not the first sign of madness.

That would probably be when you start talking back from a second personality
