I want the same header to appear on every page of my links site. I "installed" the enhanced template mod, but I have no clue how to use it :(

Please read the following thread (posted yesterday):

I tried that already, apparently I did something wrong.

By "wrong", what do you mean?

1) What codes are you trying to use in the template files?

2) What error messages appear?

Please be more specific, we need details in order to assist you.

In the category.html and home.html files I added this include:



<!--#include virtual="/links/footer.txt"-->



There is no error, nothing shows up where the footer should be. My links index page is .shtml, do I need to rename any other files to .shtml?

Yes, you need to configure all your "index" pages in the category, what's new, etc. to be .shtml.

Make sure you have the build extension set to .shtml in the links.cfg file.

YAY it works! Thank you SO much, I really appreciate it

Uh oh, I spoke too soon. The include IS working on the "home" (index) page, but not on any others All of the category index pages have been changed to .shtml.

You need to remove the index.html files in your category folders. Or change your DirectoryIndex codes in your .htaccess file to have .shtml before .html.

I would recommend deleting all your category files, and then re-build your directory.

You're right, the index file is STILL in there thanks!

Somehow I'm not linking to the file properly for the category pages, it says [an error occurred while processing this directive], any ideas why? I'm using the same include as I used for the index page.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a kid

Triple check the codes you are using in the category.html file:

<!--#include virtual="/links/footer.txt"-->

Make sure that you have the footer.txt file in the /links/ folder and that you are using the exact above codes, not something like the following:

<!--#include virtual="links/footer.txt"-->

That error usually means that the file you are attempting to include is not found...

I put the include in between <p></p> tags and it decided to work. I hope it keeps working *keeps fingers crossed*

That is odd...if you would post your category.html file and footer.txt file, we might be able to help you determine why you have to put <p> anchors to make the SSI directive work.
