ssi question

[galagrant]

Hi,

I no that I can name my pages .shtml to use server side includes, but is there a way to just make a directory use them, without renaming the pages?[nbsp][nbsp]I am doing development for someone else, and I don't want to have to keep changing the page names.

Thanks,
Gala

You could put an .htaccess file in the directory you wished to convert, with the line:

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html

That will parse all .html files like .shtml files allowing you to put ssi's in there without changing the extensions.[nbsp][nbsp]However, it will slow down the presentation of regular .html files, and it will place an extra load on the servers.[nbsp][nbsp]If FQ ever decides to change its configuration, then your html files may no longer be parsed in that way.

There are certain sets of extensions for a reason.[nbsp][nbsp]It's best to use what's standard for what you want to do.

Perfect.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks.[nbsp][nbsp]This is only for temporary testing, so I am not worried about slowness, or about Futurequest making changes in the future, this will all be done in 3 weeks.

Thanks again,
