SSI for recip tables?

[Lemmy]

I'm looking forward to all the submits with messed up or no recip tables at all. From what I understand different server configs require different SSI include specification in the .htaccess file, so make sure you get it right.

What has been said about design limitations is also a very valid point. Varying your recip tables is one way of keeping your templates fresh looking.

Those last posts above are very valid points about the limitations of using includes for recip tables

It is however an awesome tool to have in ones belt for so many other uses. I use them extensively on my link site...very handy for things like trades, static menus and the like

And Lemmy is right...IF you're going to use them for recips, be sure to double check those pages before submitting.

it would certainly help if people remembered to check their work after uploading. I wonder how many submits that I get now with messed up tables are due to SSI.

very true. I generally build fresh every time & don't use templates, so my recip tables could be any size depending on how it fits in. Plus, I switch around LLs a lot, which I wouldn't be able to do. It's a nifty little tool, no doubt, but I think I'll use it on more static things than my recip tables.

thanks for this thread, TekAngel - it's been very educational
