Ted Striker	Tuesday 19 October 2004 1:33:08 am Hi Axel, I guess you are using a XMLText Field, this kind of text field will only support xml tags and not pure HTML. I'm using a standard Text Field to hold pure HTML. Let's say that you put the HTML code inside the text box, a simple table: <table width="100%" border="0"> <tr align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#00CC00"> <td> </td> </tr> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <td>My data</td> </tr> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <td><a href="http://www.google.com/">My link </a></td> </tr> <tr align="center" valign="middle"> <td>My data</td> </tr> </table> To show the result on yout template, this simple code will do the work: {$node.object.data_map.html_text.content} <b>Problems you'll find:</b> - Don't use the <b>wash</b> operator, if you do so, all HTML tags will be deleted: {$node.object.data_map.html_text.content\|wash} - Be careful with duplicated HTML tags like <body> and so... your pagelayout.tpl already has all this tags, or not? - Use general site CSS or place used CSS inside the new HTML text, otherwise they won't show - Place al used images and resourcers in a known folder - All links inside your HTML code must be absolute http://www.domain.com/whatever This workd form me... maybe tehere are better ways to do this when a your client asks you for a free template... whenever they ask something lke that to a CMS, I'm always dying to say "Get the Dreamweaver, there you have your complete free template.." :))) Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

Hi Axel,

I guess you are using a XMLText Field, this kind of text field will only support xml tags and not pure HTML.

I'm using a standard Text Field to hold pure HTML. Let's say that you put the HTML code inside the text box, a simple table:


<table width="100%"  border="0">
  <tr align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#00CC00">
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center" valign="middle">
    <td>My data</td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center" valign="middle">
    <td><a href="http://www.google.com/">My link </a></td>
  </tr>
  <tr align="center" valign="middle">
    <td>My data</td>
  </tr>
</table>

To show the result on yout template, this simple code will do the work:


{$node.object.data_map.html_text.content}

<b>Problems you'll find:</b>

- Don't use the <b>wash</b> operator, if you do so, all HTML tags will be deleted: {$node.object.data_map.html_text.content|wash}

- Be careful with duplicated HTML tags like <body> and so... your pagelayout.tpl already has all this tags, or not?

- Use general site CSS or place used CSS inside the new HTML text, otherwise they won't show

- Place al used images and resourcers in a known folder

- All links inside your HTML code must be absolute http://www.domain.com/whatever

This workd form me... maybe tehere are better ways to do this when a your client asks you for a free template... whenever they ask something lke that to a CMS, I'm always dying to say "Get the Dreamweaver, there you have your complete free template.." :)))
