Hey guys,

I'm pretty new in here, but i have a question similar to this forum.

I want to show in my index.shtml page only the latest post in my forum, how do i configure the ssi code.


Code Select
<!--#include virtual="/path_to/lastpost.xxx" -->
Can you guys solve this to me ?

Thanks a lot,

Marcelo Pessoa

So what is there to 'know'? So long as your server's configured for it, all you need to do is to change the file extension to .shtml and use:

<!--#include file="blah.blah" --> or <!--#include virtual="blah.blah" --> (no space before #!)

Where .blah (1) is the file name and .blah (2) is the extension (plain .txt is all you need if it's just to include standard blocks of HTML into all the specified pages, but [Unknown]'s link shows you how to use it with YaBB SE and I suppose you *could* include anything that still made sense in the context of the overall page). :)

It *should* be in the main 'yabbse' directory of whatever version you downloaded. Might be worth checking again?

Have a look at some very good tutorials (not only for YaBB):

Hey, I was trying to get shtml working on my server, and I was unsuccesful.  I tried clicking on Unknown's link and I get an error (was not able to process this directive), does these still work?

Okay.  Let me elaborate a little bit.  I was working on my shoutbox mod because someone asked for an SSI.  I got it working on my dev site correctly after placing it in ssi_examples.php.  I was not able to get it to work in ssi_examples.shtml.  I thought it might be an issue with my server, so I come here and I try [unknown]'s link www.yabbse.org/community/ssi_examples.shtml and I get an error here too.  So my question isn't "How do I get it to work?" so much as it is "Why doesn't it work here?"  And could that somehow be related to my problem.
