Virtual includes

Post by **Tim TS** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 8:25 am

I'm taking a look at the latest PrimalScript. Sorry if this is my mis-understanding, but I can't get virtual includes to get recognised.- Simple Classic ASP project, VBScript- Created as a porject- Have a file with a virtual include:- Right-clicking doesn't show "Open this file"- Class within include is not included in PrimalSense- Changing to  seems to work okIs this my problem, or the current status of virtual includes in PrimalScript?Thanks,Tim

Well, virtual folders only are resolved in the application context when it runs under IIS. It's really not possible to resolve that in a static editing environment.
I can have a look if there is an API to resolve these things....

Hi Alexander,Good point. I didn't think of that. I always use it in reference to the root of the site, and therefore assume it would be evaluated as the root of the project. I didn't think of the application to virtual folders within IIS.This is how Dreamweaver works when you right-click on it...it certainly is very simple and makes (as you've noted) incorrect assumptions, but for the majority of projects it is incredibly convenient.Many hosts don't support the "file" include type, so virtual references from the site root are necessary.As it stands, this feature alone makes Dreamweaver's editor more convenient (despite its lackings!).

Thanks,Tim

We are in pretty much a code freeze right now with the pending release of PrimalScript 2009, but if you ping me again in a few weeks I can see if we can add a virtual root setting on a per project basis.
That may not be one hundred percent correct all the time but I think we could cover the most common scenarios.
