Problems with mainpage.php

[TimW]

Hi, I have some php code in my mainpage.php that is getting removed when launching the editor.

It is replacing this:

<td><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'products_cycle_slideshow.php'); ?></td>
<td><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'products_cycle_slideshow2.php'); ?></td>
<td><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'products_cycle_slideshow3.php'); ?></td>


with this:
<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

My current workaround is to simply paste the code back into the source code and save it and that works fine, but is there anyway to prevent it from doing that in the first place? Please advise. Thanks.

I think you would have to modify the editor. It filters php by default as a security measure. You may want to check the CKEditor documentation over at their support site.

Typically if you want to use php code in the input boxes, I recommend just disabling the editor altogether and pasting in your raw source code.

Ok,Thanks for your response.It's pretty strange that it disables it when it first opens up but it allows me to save the php code when saving. Either way, I will give that a shot. Normally I would just update the raw source code but this is for a non technical user and she wants to be able to update that page whenever she wants using the editor.

It only allows you to save it if you paste it in the raw source - which bypasses the editor completely. That is why it works.
