Hi All,
On the right hand side of http://minitutorials.com I have some 'headlines'
in a 'headlines' div
All boxes are in a 'rightbar' div also.
The code for this is in One file called rightnav.ssi and included using
either 'include' or 'require'
This obviously has the effect that all of the site pages get the content
from the one file.
...
3. The html code required I transfered from rightnav.ssi into rightnav.html
and put this file
into xdocs directory. I am hoping that the <url>/rightbar.html</url> is
therefore correct.
4. Didn't see what else I would need to do, so did a 'forrest run' , did not
show up.
Also did a ForrestBot onto the web server, also does not show up.
So, this did not work, the question is, have I done something wrong, missed
something out
or is there a different/better way to include content into the 'headlines'
hook ?
I've not checked your syntax as I am not familiar enough with these
contracts to see it without cross-checking with the documentation, which
I assume you have done. Others will be better at spotting syntax errors.
Assuming syntax is correct. Have you verified that requesting
"http://localhost:8888/rightbar.html"; actually returns some code?
The other thing is that I wrote this contract for V1. There have been
many changes since then, including the use of JX. I'm not sure if this
is still the "right" way to include content.
Alternative I thought of would be to create a contract for it. Although I
can see how to
create a contract, not sure again on the best way of approaching it. Maybe
doing a similar
thing as including the body from say index.xml but using
rightnavcontent.xml, use jx: ??
See above - we need a views savvy dev to advise here.
(Re-reading the above, I see at least (at last ?) I have suggestions, so
must be learning something!)
:-) and you're teaching those of us still trying to get to grips with
views (when I taught at Universities I always used to learn loads by
doing the labs when students would ask me why their code behaved this
way or that way).
P.S-
Creating an empty hook has the side effect of a self closing div - obviously
inlvalid and messes
up the rest of the page.
Raise an issue (if there isn't one already, this is ringing a bell
somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind).
