#7, RE: GBOMB Templates and tags - calling GB output using SSI

I've gotten Gbomb to work for me.

I want to be able to use the archived pages as a source for blog pages.

Here is my BBX and GB test output page:

www.appraisertools.com/rssnews.htm

Towards the bottom, I have "DATA PULLED FROM GODFATHER BOMB ARCHIVES"

The data is from one archive file and is simply pulled into the page using:

<!--#include virtual="/archives/message-20040118215702.html" -->

Then, below that I show the list of links to the archived news using:

<!--#include virtual="/archives/links-keyword.txt" -->

-----------
My questions are this:

1) GB does not setup a path for the links written to the archive "links-keyword.txt" except only for the file name. When you created your list of Huge Archives links on Lizardz, did you have to open your GB-archived "keywords.txt" file and run it through LinkBomb, or use Search and Replace, so that the links would have the full path to the archive directory on your server?

2) Say you have an archived html page with 10 articles on it but you only want to show 2 results on a blog page that pulls from your archived articles, how would you do that?

Could you have something like this:

<!--#include virtual="/archives/message-20040118215702.html&results=2" -->

I know an html document is not a script, so "results=2" would not apply; but, you get the idea I hope.

Perhaps the SpiderBomb needs to be used here? I just don't know.

You show links in your example like:

<B><A HREF="http://www.rocketnews.com/rocket/jsp/MonitorSearch.jsp?searchWords=camping&cat=general&age=2
">Camping News from RocketNews:</B></A>
<BR> <BR>{rss:2,9=2}<BR> <BR>

But, surely you're not keying in those links individually for each news service?

Is the tag {rss:2,9=2} going right onto your html page? For example, would I code that tag into my "The Latest News" page at:

www.appraisertools.com/rssnews.htm

I was able to get everything up and running with GB pretty well. E-mails were sent properly. Still haven't tested bounce handling, etc.

I also added several hundred pages to haxwax-realestate.com yesterday and can't wait to put together some new templates to include GB stuff.
