    Default Contribute and PHP with includes

    I saw one post on this subject, speaking of relative paths with no answer about
    relative paths. But I have a different question.

    Can I have a PHP site with navigation that uses a PHP include and have that
    include also editable? I know I could create this in dreamweaver, and currently
    use the tedious method of dreamweaver templates and a library item for the
    navigation. However, this requires downloading the entire site to change out
    the navigation. I have a customer that loves the ease of Contribute but is
    forever wanting something in the navigation changed (prices) and I would like
    for them to be able to do this themselves by making editable regions in a php
    include file and letting them change it, rather than me downloading their
    entire site and doing it for them.

    So is this possible? I haven't seen anything about editing include files.

    Default Re: Contribute and PHP with includes

    Yes, it is possible. You can't edit it AS an include though. The distinction
    is that they could edit the file as if it were a normal document, outside of
    being actually included in a file.

    Example.php includes nav.inc, so you would edit the file nav.inc with
    Contribute.
