Posting HTML or PHP into an entry

[Guest]

Forgive me if I explain this poorly, my brain is off and it is past my bedtime...

I created some div elements in an entry and I was hoping I could use some PHP to keep track of it

Code: Select all

<? $var = 50 ?>

for example.

Also, when I add HTML like this...

Code: Select all

<div>
  <div 2>stuff in div2
  </div>
</div>

the html comes out like this:

Code: Select all

<div><br />
  <div 2>stuff in div2<br />
  </div><br />
</div>

...which throws off my divs (the line breaks do).

Basically, I am not familiar with a way to input HTML and PHP correctly so HTML does not receive any <BR> lines and PHP is parsed okay (simple PHP, nothing crazy).

I'm still new to S9Y, so it may be something obvious..in which case..go easy on me

thanks! loving this engine so far

You must deactivate the nl2br-Plugin.

Aaaah...that'll do it

I tried the <? and ?> tag for PHP and it didn't seem to work...suggestions?

thanks!

PHP-Tags in Templates are not working. If you will make your templates dynamic you must learn the smarty-syntax. Have a look in the documentation at smarty.php.net.

I actually just started looking at smarty stuff (very cool stuff).

can I use smarty tags when posting an entry?

thanks for all the info Falk

If you meen you write in the entrytext smartytags, then i must answer: no idea, i don't test it yet. But if it works, then don't do it. I think this is very unsecure. And i see no reason to do it. Write your functions and so on in the templates.

There is a plugin, serendipity_event_smartymarkup, which you can use if you want to use smarty markup in your entries themselves.

Have fun,
