howdy,

 I have a page using SSI up and running and can get this to work:
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi"-->

but not this:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi?template=ssi.html"-->

I'm on a NetBSD server and have tested the SSI with other directives and they work fine. Any ideas on what I'm screwing up?

I checked through the faq and I have gotten ssi to work by using the ssi tutorial but I can't get the to accept any calscript variable.

Servers are different, but try this:

<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.cgi?template=ssi.html"-->

Also, remember that ssi.html has to reside in your default template folder in order to be found.

Thanks! That seems to have worked. It's ignoring my ssi.txt and displaying the current month.  The ssi.txt file has settings of

template=ssi.html
duration=7d

ssi.txt is in my default directory and the permissions are correct. Do I need to pass the variables in the ssi code?

 **Do I need to pass the variables in the ssi code?**

If the variables you want to pass are different than the calendar defaults, I think the answer is yes. Probably DanO can help you more on this than I can, since I'm really new to this.

The ssi.txt doesn't seem to work for everybody, so passing the variables in the URL seems to be the preferred method.

The way I use it, my includes look something like this:

<!--include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl?calendar=events&template=ssi.html&duration=60d"-->

** Do I need to pass the variables in the ssi code? **

If you have to pass the template file name in your SSI call to get that template to display, you'll have to pass the rest of the variables from the ssi.txt file too.

Yup. that did the trick. Thank you very much for the help.
