Please help.

Put it to index.shtml ( its must be .shtml file )

<!--#include virtual="protectx.php"-->

I did that, and then when i go to smart thumbs to reset the page i get a black page.

If you get a blank page , that could mean your hosting is setup in a way which suppresses errors, instead of showing them, so you have no way of knowing what the problem is. I suggest talk to your hosting about this?

I had a talk with trader expert support and he told me that he can make a few tests to check. Just hit him in ICQ.

That sounds like an issue with how your server is set up to handle the include... but I doubt it's from TE (I run about 25 domains with ST5/TE/Protect-X, and no problems). What do you get if you view source on the blank page, totally blank or incomplete code? What browser do you use (some are more forgiving of bad html code then others), might be where the problem is.

Quick check - add a 2nd face to ST5 and a test page for the output (both the index & the test page with the same extension). Do a save as for your current index template and put the TE code on 1 template page, AT3 code on the other, and Protect-X code on both. Then use ST5 to do a random rebuild of the pages, and check both through your browser. (Template pages need to be exactly the same, other then the trade script include.)

Best guess, your server is having a display problem with the include... If that's the problem, simple fix might be to add an instruction to the root .htaccess file to read the page extension (also a quick fix to eliminate the need to use the .shtml extension to run SSIs).

Here's the lines to add to the .htaccess file (IIRC, it's called the X Bit hack, and can be added on a domain by domain basis through .htaccess (or in the server conf file if your box is dedicated) -

AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .htm

Last Q, did you by any chance put the Protect-X include in the head tag instead of in the body?

Rhino-
I appreciate the time you put into this problem. I get Page cant be displayed when i add:
<!--#include virtual="protectx.php"-->
to the site.
I use IE7.
I think i will just add the lines to .htaccess.
I will let you know the out come.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
