** the template your calendar is currently set to use.**
* I take it this is in the calendar.pl script somewhere or in ssi.txt? *
There is a choice in the administration section to select which template to use. I'm not sure on exactly which screen but maybe Manage Calendars or Template Preferences section.
* I get the ssi tag to call but it produces the default calendar. *
It appears that your calendar.pl is not recognizing that it is being called via SSI. You can try using the 'include virtual' SSI tag and passing the elements ( normally found in the ssi.txt file) needed for the proper display. Eg.
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/calendar.pl?duration=2d&template=ssi.html"-->
(of course making sure the path is correct for the location of the calendar.pl file on your server)
* I have made changes to my ssi.html to do this but I think I have it in the wrong folder. *
Well then it won't work. It has to be in the template's directory of the templates your calendar is using.
* do I keep ssi.txt in the root directory *
You keep the ssi.txt file exactly where it was unzipped to originally.
* and in that file do I change template=ssi.html to the actual location of ssi.html? *
No. The calendar knows to look for all templates in the template directory.
