Hello all,
i was wanting to use this calendar for updating the upcoming events on homepages of our site.  in the blue box of our site, the upcoming events are shown.  i do not really know anything of SSI, so i guess i'll need a lot of help.  what i want is, for instance, and event happens tomorrow, so that event is shown in the blue box.  another event is next week, and so i want it to replace the other after tomorrow has passed.  hopefully i'm clear with what i'm asking.  if anybody could tell me how to do this, that would be awesome.  thanks.
Kevin

You can read about SSI in general at:

LINK > BigNoseBird.Com's Server Side Include Page (SSI)

You can read step by step instruction for using CalendarScript with SSI at the following previous forum message:

i've already tried all that i can, but when i use <!--#include virual""--> or anything else, it doesn't process the directive.  i can SSI .htm files, but i don't think that i can execute programs.  any work around that anybody might know of?

** it doesn't process the directive. **

What do you mean by that? The whole SSI tag is still in the page code??

If so that means your server isn't parsing your pages for SSI. In that case you either have not defined the proper file name extension to tell the server there is SSI code in it to parse or your host doesn't offer SSI on the hosting plan you have. Check your host's FAQs.

** any work around  **

You could display that template in an HTML iframe on the page.

we must be thinking alike.  i actually utilized the iframe tag.  wierd.  i can use SSI on files, but i don't think on programs.  for instance, i can call on a file such as "bluebox.htm", but not "/cgi-bin/calendar/calendar.pl".  oh well.  i've got it working now.  thanks though.
