How to put PHP Includes in a page

Hi,

It's usually not a good idea to add php code directly into the editor. The easiest way to do this is to go directly into your viewer file and add the php include directly into there.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Jason,

It may not be a good idea, but from our perspective, it would be very important to achieve that. For instance, a call to "order here" that could be placed on the middle of the article, separating topics, or even a banner served by another application. I don't know, but everybody includes something at the articles to sell something.

Even if you use Joomla (that I don't like at all) there are add ons that you can install that would allow you to create a form or to include php code.

It would really helps us if CMS Builder could come with something like this.

Thank you anyway.

Just musing aloud here, but could your content be moved to a non WYSIWYG text box? You might find it easier to embed parsable code in there.

Alternately, you could scan through your content at rendering time and insert your included code after N-number of paragraphs/linebreaks.

$0.02 worth.

Hi rneube,

We don't recommend allowing php code in the wysiwyg and neither do the developers of tinymce ([url http://wiki.moxiecode.com/index.php/TinyMCE:FAQ#TinyMCE_strips_away_or_alters_my_server-side_code]link[/url]) and if you enable this it will mean anyone with any access to your CMS (or even access to a form that adds content to your CMS) will be able to run *any* php code they want and basically have full access to your server and databases, but...

If you really want to do it, there's a tinymce plugin here that allows it:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2859676&group_id=103281&atid=738747

Another way to do it is to use placeholders (eg: #banner#, #include1#, etc) and replace those with the php code in your viewers. It would take more setup time initially but have the benefit of letting you change what #banner# included (or any other placeholder) without having to update a whole bunch of hard coded php code.

Hope that helps!

Thank you very much! excellent ideas (both posts). I will try them now.

Thanks again!
