Viewing SSI offline?
- Thread starter Anayet
- Start date
A long time ago, back in my Windows days, I had written a program to parse .shtml files for local testing/development. I then associated .shtml files with it. The program simply processed includes and launched the resulting output in the default browser...
I wish I could help more, but I no longer have this program (or even that windows partition for that matter), but if you know anything about programming, this could be done in just a few lines of C...
The one I had written simply opened any file referenced by an "include file=", and I had hard-coded a document root for "include virtual=" requests. I then output the results to an html file in the temp directory. Then, simply call a ShellExecute() on the output file.
I'm sure if you were to search places like Download.com etc, you might find something like this; you and I can't be the only ones who have needed something like this at some point

The section about cracking Dreamweaver was removed. Please do not discuss how to track a program in that manner.
I'm not sure that Dreamweaver supports SSI viewing offline. I think all it does is insert the small symbol to say SSI was there.
Perhaps what he was thinking about was Dreamweavers template system. If you create a basic template for your site then you can define what regions are editable and save the template.
Then if you make a few pages with that template and realize you had a navigation error you update the template and it asks you if you wish to update all the pages that rely on the template. In a way that takes care of most peoples need for SSI and then the server doesn't have to process the pages for SSI. I'm not real sure this is necessarily a better way but it might have been what he had in mind.

No it doesn't
No, that is when you view the page in dreamweaver, in the browser preview it just displays nothing, not unless you have a webserver installed on ur system.
side note : Long time no see in this forum todd!
I should have clarified that it only shows the SSI icon in the page layout preview and not when you preview it in the browser.
Apart from setting up a webserver locally and previewing it off of that which would process the SSI's I'm not sure what you can do. The templates feature would probably be the easiest if viewing it locally is an absolute requirement.
