SSI

Server Side Includes (SSI) are scripts like JavaScript, PERL, CGI, etc, and can be used in whichever directory you enable it on. Usually this would be those users or sections of the website who have permission from you to run scripts. So if a user is including items from a database run by PERL then that user's directory needs to be SSI enabled.

To do this:

  1. Open the SSI preferences config window
  2. Check both the boxes as shown above *
  3. List the Extensions to be used (normally as above)
  4. In the Directory bar browse to the folder you want to enable
  5. Single click it
  6. Click Add
  7. Save
  8. Repeat for every folder you wish to enable.
* If you want, you can enable the entire docs folder and everybody can use the function. However this can be a security risk, we recommend enabling subfolders only.

There is more about SSIs in the 'Scripts & SSI's' section.
