Hello there
I'm using the Poll, Newsletter and Events Calendar mods on my forum but would like to move each of them to their separate pages. I know I can move the <!-- #INCLUDE file="xxxx" --> around, but if I put it on a separate page, do I need to include any other code or includes?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks in advance |

| If you put it on a page of its own you'll need at least inc_header.asp and inc_footer.asp and config.asp, most likely inc_func_common.asp will be required too. |

...eek, you had to say it!!! I was doing fine until just now  I re-read the readme files and considered your advice. I made a 'subscribe to newsletter' page with just the following code on it:
<!--#INCLUDE file="config.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_func_secure.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_sha256.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_header.asp" -->
<!-- #INCLUDE file="nlform.asp" -->
And for the Polls page, I used this code:
<!--#INCLUDE file="config.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_func_secure.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_sha256.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_header.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_func_member.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_moderation.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_subscription.asp" -->
<!--#INCLUDE file="inc_poll.asp" -->
They both seem to work, but can you have a quick look and let me know if you think they're okay (I took inspiration from default.asp)?
There is actually an include for the 'events' page, which I put on a page of it's own. It was working fine earlier today, but for some isn't working now. The readme says to use <!--#INCLUDE FILE="cal_include.asp"-->, but I've also tried using <!--#include file="cal_default.asp" -->, which is the include for default.asp. They were both working, but now throw up the following error:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'DateValue'
/petsinthecity/forum/cal_default.asp, line 5
Line 5 of cal_default.asp is:
dateHolder = dateValue(strForumTimeAdjust)
The events calendar works fine on default.asp, but no longer works on it's own page...any ideas??? I don't think I've done anything that should have effected it...definitely haven't touched cal_default.asp. Haven't a clue what's happened here...outta my league me thinks
Thanks in advance

Yep, the new files are located within the forum directory. Everything else there seems to be working, even the events calendar include (cal_default.asp) on the forum default.asp is working fine...but it no longer wants to work on its own  . No idea what's up???  |

| You're not showing that you're including inc_footer.asp - it probably won't solve your problem, but it will at least make sure your connections, recordsets, & variables are being properly closed out. |

Thanks for the tip, I'll do that But you're right, it didn't make any difference to the problem
Thanks anyway though, much appreciated! Do I take it that I should include inc_footer on any extra forum pages I make??

Hi Gelliott,
I know you said that I was missing inc_footer, but are all the other files I've included necessary or should I remove some of them? I'm using the same includes for the Events page as the Polls page. D'you think it's okay?
Thanks Ra1ney |
