WYSIWYG Block Question

Client Joined: Jan 07, 2006 Posts: 52

I just upgraded to version 2.10.01 and this is the first time I've used the FCKeditor. I'm trying to make a block using script from Google AdSense. I use to be able to just paste the code in a block and it would appear as the button, link, etc. Now when I paste the code into a block it appears as written code in the block. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

In the top left hand corner hit the "Source" button. This allows for pasting or coding of actual html code. It also will let you view the source of your block/article/content.

Not sure adsense is gonna play in there, but it might.

I personally would recommend the following tutorial if that doesn't work out for you.

Try clicking on the "Source" button in the editor. That will allow you to paste raw HTML into the editor without it mucking it up.

Ah, but JS isn't allowed by default, and you probably don't want to make that available...

I've tried making the Google block using both the source button and following the directions on the above link. When I made the block and refreshed the page the blocks were empty. When I changed my theme to see if that was the problem, both blocks appeared and displayed properly but then were empty again when the page was refeshed. Confused

Code:

<?php


if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}


$content  =  'Put your adsense code here make sure you stay inside the apostrophe';


?>

I like to do it this way if my content has lots of quotation marks of both single and double variety. When you use the here-doc notation you don't have to escape quotes:

Code:




<?php


if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}


$content  = <<<END_CONTENT


insert your adsense code here


END_CONTENT;
