texte = We're using the Webcat plugin, not the CGI, and there is an Admin preference that allows you to specify whether you want the ssi processed before, after or both before & after webcat is processed. It states in the help that this will work with the plugin version.What we are doing is pulling banner ads from a remote server or basically using webstar's Webinclude SSI. I know we could do the banner ad rotation in webcat, but this was the client's decision to get a separate program for that. The only part of the site we host is an archive search which is just 2 pages. But the client wants the banner ads to rotate while the user is searching.I'm pretty sure we can talk them out of including the ads on the search pages, but I would still like to know how to do this, since webcat appears to have the functionality.SallyAt 04:18 PM 5/26/00, you wrote: >You cannot use both SSI and any other CGI, including WebCat.
