Can't Get Html Codes working

Wednesday 04 May 2005 6:40:46 pm

I can't get:
<embed src="The Music URL" loop="true" autostart="true"controls="smallconsole">

to work...
It always says: Unsupported tag embed(removed)

What can i add to make the code work?

So while h'm giving it away now ...

Your custom tag template might look like this:

<embed src="{$src}" loop="{$loop}" autostart="{$autostart}" controls="{$controls}">

While the text you used to 'call' the custom tag from inside a (xmltext) field might look like this:

 <custom name='embed_midi' src='http://example.com/media/war_games.midi' loop="true" autostart="true" controls="smallconsole">
No content needed here as it would not be displayed in this specific implementation / situation ;)
</custom>

If you do the reading you'll know just where to put this code. This should be a good to go solution for you.

Nothing like using ez.no to do your development for ya ;) but then hey! isn't that what is so great about a community ... now when do I get mine :?

Hey.

There is no need to beg, in caps no less.

Moving on, so the next step is to tell Exponential about your new custom tag via the settings (ini files).

I think you didn't really read the instructions I linked to you. Because the three instructions addressed your missing dependency.

> 3. Add custom tag to content.ini.php
> file so it is available to the online editor, if you are using it.

[CustomTagSettings]
AvailableCustomTags[]=embed_midi

The only alteration to the above instruction I would suggest is to use the <i>settings/override/content.ini.append.php </i> (override) settings file instead of the <i>settings/content.ini</i> file (you may need to create it, the format will be the same as the <i>settings/content.ini</i> file).

Also be sure that you have cleared all of your Exponential cache (not just the template cache)

./bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all

In hind site, It might be simpler for you to place your custom tag into your primary sitedesign instead of the standard. Though sometimes you have to cut your knuckles learning up on Exponential before you re-implement your solution cleanly.

I only mention this because when you do upgrade Exponential you will have to track, document and backport these customizations into your future upgraded Exponential installation. Where as if you were to simply keep your custom tags in your primary sitedesign you would not need to watch these dependencies so closely when you go to upgrade Exponential.

I would store them instead into : <i>design/example_org_user/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags</i> Again, you might need to create the directory structure (above).

Courtland,

It might be <i>more</i> helpful to give us the html rendered snippet of html code from your web browser while looking at the affected page by using the "view source" feature and looking for your embed tag. I want to see just what your browser is showing you, to deduce just why it's not playing your media file.

Oh and please don't change the source code to hide public or internal urls, that makes it really really really hard to help people who do this ...

There is a good possibility that something on the rendering is not quite right...yet :)

Alright,

Hey, thanks for the great details (you can edit your message later to remove them if you wish), they really help.

It looks like your custom tag is not configured to be displayed on the user side.

What I mean to say is that it appears that Exponential can not find the template for the custom tag or that the user siteaccess is not configured properly to know about the custom tag.

The end result being, your home page does not able to display the custom tag without knowing about it / and it's template.

1. What is the path / location of your custom tag template ?

2. What is the contents of your site's content.ini.append.php (override ini setting for setting/content.ini) ie:

settings/siteaccess/news/content.ini.append.php

for your primary 'user' siteaccess / design? Here is an example:

[CustomTagSettings]
AvailableCustomTags[]=mynewline
AvailableCustomTags[]=img
AvailableCustomTags[]=imglink
AvailableCustomTags[]=div
AvailableCustomTags[]=prediv
AvailableCustomTags[]=ptag
AvailableCustomTags[]=alink
#AvailableCustomTags[]=divstyle
AvailableCustomTags[]=forcebr
AvailableCustomTags[]=amazon_honor_system
AvailableCustomTags[]=paypal_donation
AvailableCustomTags[]=paypal_subscription

[CustomTagSettings]
IsInline[mynewline]=false
IsInline[forcebr]=true
IsInline[img]=true
IsInline[imglink]=true
IsInline[prediv]=false
IsInline[ptag]=false
IsInline[alink]=false
IsInline[div]=false
#IsInline[divstyle]=false
IsInline[amazon_honor_system]=true
IsInline[paypal_donation]=true
IsInline[paypal_subscription]=true

Be sure to clearcache after you make these changes or Exponential may not know they have been made.

./bin/shell/clearcache.sh --clear-all

cheers,
