MT blog & SSI

[!!blue]

Let's say I wanna be fancy & have SSI includes for my footers/meta tags for all the pages in my weblog ok? I'd have to change all my file names to thisPage.shtml no?

 

So, would movable type complete shut down if I did this? wouldn't the pages just re-write themselves to default *.html instead of *.shtml?

 

what, oh, what can I do to pull this of? can I pull this off?

 

thanks,

yes

nope

yes, but you're going to have to delete the files with .html extensions. mt doesn't delete.

 

what, oh, what can I do to pull this of?

change the extensions in the output file input box of your index templates. also, change the archiving preference in the preferences section of the weblog config.

 

can I pull this off?

yes

Ok, I've done the index and the archives file and added the new lines to the .htaccess file:

AddType text/html .shtml

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

 

now i got some advice fr a good friend o mine that said I can add the following similar lines:

AddType text/html .shtml

AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

 

and edit my other MT templates with the #include tags and they will parse correctly; and even if there are other html files that don't have any SSI code, they will show up correctly too.

 

Before I start going off editing files & such, any ideas? is he right? and did I have too much coffee already? woooot

 

thanks,

[edit] charle97: thanks for replying on the mt support forum too!

and I went ahead and added the above code to my .htaccess file and it worked double woooot !
