You sure can! Here's how:
Find the subroutine which looks like:
sub html_trailer {
print "<hr>\n";
print "It is currently $current_date\n";
print "</center>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
}
Now, if you wanted to add a link to Matt's Script
Archive, you would edi this to look like:
sub html_trailer {
print "<hr>\n";
print "It is currently $current_date\n";
print "</center><hr>\n";
print "<a href=\"http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts\">
Matt's Script Archive</a>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
}
Notice that the quotes (") surrounding the
URL have backslashes (\) in front of them. This is
because you need to escape these characters when they
are inside of a print ""; statement.
Obviously it should be very easy to figure out how
to change this to fit whatever URL link you wish to
include.
Yep! Only it takes a little more effort than the
change shown in the previous question.
First, find the subroutine html_header which looks
like:
sub html_header {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Countdown to: $date_term</title>
</head>\n";
print "<body><center><h1>Countdown to: $date_term</h1>\n";
print "<hr>\n";
}
Now, change this to:
sub html_header {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
}
This gets rid of all of the html, body, head,
center, and header tags. Now you will need to do a
similar thing to the html_trailer subroutine. Change
it from:
sub html_trailer {
print "<hr>\n";
print "It is currently $current_date\n";
print "</center>\n";
print "</body></html>\n";
}
To contain no statements, like:
sub html_trailer {
}
Now, all that the sript will output is the
countdown time However, each time amount (year,
month, etc.) will be separated by <br> tags. To
change this, find the proper_english subroutine, and
change all of the <br> references to ",
" (without the quotes).
Now, all that is left is in-lining this into your
web page. This requires the use of Server
Side Includes. If you can use them, you will
probably have to rename your file from filename.html
to filename.shtml so the server knows to parse the
file. Then include a reference like the following for
your countdown to appear:
<!--#exec cgi="/url/path/to/countdown.pl"-->
And it's as easy at that!
