Hi guys,

I am attempting to schedule server side includes on my RaQ3.

For example, I have a horoscope page.

On June 26th I need the horoscope for that day to appear, then on the 27th it should be replaced with the horoscope for that date.

I have 12 pages, one for each sign, and 31 different horoscopes for each of the 12 pages (one for each day).

What is the best, and least CPU intense way of doing this?

I had scheduled includes with Frontpage 2000, but I am trying to move away from FP. Is there another way to do this?

Many thanks for your help.

Aloha

ya might try it out using xssi instead

You're not looking for a scheduled event.

All you're needing is a script that checks server time(date, really) and pulls from your "database" or "flatfile" that date's quote.


select * from Horoscopes where Sign=7

Thanks guys - on my way to check those out now. :o)

But it would be less server load consuming if you used the XSSI method with flat files. You will need to use SSI anyway, and the difference between XSSI and SSI isn't that much as PHP/Perl/ASP/Whatever and flat files.

OK, I am looking into the XSSI and have some questions i can't seem to find the answers to.

1. Can i use this on a RaQ3 just as if it's SSI, without installing modules etc, or if not, where do I get the modules?

I managed to get SSI working, but does anyonw know what is wrong with the following line?

<!--#if "&&DATE_LOCAL&&" hasstring "01" include file="01aq.txt"-->

I get an error has occured with this directive.

I know SSI is working, because these two lines work :

<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT"-->

<!--#include virtual="01aq.txt" -->


Any ideas?
