I am new to SSI and need help with this. In one of the HTML files there is an include in UL tag
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file1.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file2.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file3.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file4.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file5.html"-->
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/file6.html"-->
Is there any way I can include all of them from directory at once? If I add file7 it should be included too.
Something like
<!--#include virtual="/dataFolder/myfolder/Friday/*.html"-->
There’s no SSI instruction doing what you’re asking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Side_Includes
You might consider exec which is supported by Apache if running an external process on every request is a viable solution for you (I woudn't recommend that)
The exec command executes a given shell command or CGI script
So you just need to feed it a bash command or external scripts that lists all the files in the directory
But exec is not supporteed in nginx, here's the discussion
and documentation
I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to solve, but I would approach it differently - either use
ssi include + url subrequest to the backend doing whatever you need or concatenate the files into a single bundle[s] and handle them using a regular ssi include + a local file path
