is there a way of having a file that's name is a variable (eg dependant on the user name) act like a include. i know that you cant define the file for an include asp tag using a variable and that reading the file using "Response.Write FSO.OpenTextFile(ppp, 1, False, False).readall" prints the file, and treating it like a html file.
however, this doesn't seem to work, as i get the following error message :
The include file '<%=fileToInclude%>' was not found.
it obviously is trying to find a file named <%=fileToInclude%> instead of seeing the variable my question is : is it possible to feed a variable into an include statement ? if yes, how should i go about it ? if not, are there any alternatives ?
how to assign a variable in a page then in a file that is included write a variable to an include virtual statement that's located in the 2nd included file? I've tried this but it doesn't work Code:
I've been browsing this and a few other related newsgroups trying to get my head around this problem, and so far all the trails seem to go cold, without an acceptable solution being reached. I'm posting here because there seems to be a few MVP's knocking around, and if they dont know, then it's a safe bet nobody does.
I'm beginning to think that what I want to do is simply not possible - but i'll put it out there once more.
Here goes: I'm writing a content managaement system - and i'm making use of dynamic includes via the "read a text file" technique, and then substitiuting values into markers in the template. Code:
I want to be to call my menu from another file onto my page so that i dont have to add it to every page of my website. The problem is when i try to add it using the include method it says that only one include file is allowed on an ASP. The other include file is my connection string so i cant really take that out of the page because then nothing else will work!
How can i get the menu page included as well as the connecting string?
Have added the code below, i have highlighted the 2 include files that i want to use in blue, i have also left the div tag in for where i currently have the menu which is what i want to take out and have ther include file there instead, if that makes sense. Basically the bit in red i want to be able to remove from all of my pages and add the blue file above the red code in instead, but i dont know how!!!!! Code:
I got that right now but i want the variable, console to be placed along with news so when it selects from the db it selects from gcnnews or whatever variable it's on. How do I do that?
I need to assign a value to a variable, but this variable name is dependant upon another variable!! I am including the code below so you can see it, cos if not I am sure you are thinking whattt?? Code:
<% I am trying to use "set con" in the include file. i used it before with simple text but when I use the connection object it doesn t work. is this possible in asp and what is the problem with the code below:
Can someone advise how can I send an html message that include gif file using cdonts. the gif cannot link to www, or any specific server location. user must be able to view when they open their email.no as attachment.
I have asp page file0.asp which calls another asp page thru include. I have to set conditions tht....
originally the include should have file1.asp In the displayed file file1.asp user selects a hyperlink, it should take it as request and display the new file2.asp in same file0.asp in place of file1.asp.
so i want to display multiple pages on user request inside file0.asp. But originally when file0.asp loads it should have file1.asp. Code:
how to include an asp file into an other asp file with checking condition first.I can do this easily in PHP, but in ASP, it seem that the content of included file is process before it read the code on page.So when I include a asp page into another asp page, I cannot choose which page will be include base on the condition.
When I first started using Server Side Includes I used the regular file include:
Code: <!--#include file = "myfile.asp"--> Then I read where the virtual include is much beter. I figured I would try it out, so on my last project I used all virtual includes:
Code: <!--#include virtual = "/somedirectory/somefile.asp"--> It worked fine and I really couldn't tell any differnce. Maybe a little easier to remember where all the file needed to point to. But this was for a New Site so testing it on the server was easy. I didn't have to worry about existing content up there.
I'm now redesigning a site to add in some dynamic stuff and I always test everything on the server it will reside on to be sure everything will work. Typically I create a "v2" directory and run everything from there. Well this really screws me up when using a virtual include, becuase I would have to edit and then rededit all my file paths.
So my question is... What do you use? And why are file includes so bad?
the include file head.asp is located in the includes directory while the ssi its calling is on the adrotator directory. here is the code for the adrotatorhomepage.asp (all relevant files are in the same directory) Code:
I'm wondering if there's any way to include a XML file (with a XSL) in a ASP file? I've tried this <!--#include file="publications.xml"--> but the XML-code is included before it is formated according to the XSL and ends up being unformated.
