Pasting PHP code within the HTML editor doesn't save

My client needs to paste PHP code within the HTML editor by using the Source option on the HTML editor menu. However, when she saves it, it disappears. She has to do this because it's the only way she can get the PowerGallery to show up, right? Why would the HTML editor not "save" this code behind the scenes?

See the Database Integration Update in the powergallery section of the download center.


you will need to use the Add to PowerStore code from the Add to site page.

Note: For this to work properly, you'll have to update a few PowerStore files. Refer to the Known Issues document in your PowerStore Download Center.

I did not purchase PowerStore, so I can't refer to any PowerStore documentation for any additional instructions. I have copied and pasted the code for the client into the HTML editor, but it is not displaying on the page. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get this to work?

Thank you!

In the page that the PowerGallery should be showing on, edit the recordset output:

<?php echo $row_RsName['ColumnName']; ?>

to:

<?php require_once('wa_evaluate.php'); ?>

<?php echo wa_evaluate($row_RsName['ColumnName']; ?>

see the Updating your Files section of the readme for more details.

Jason, I don't think this is going to work because I want to embed the gallery in a page that I create using the HTML Editor, if that makes sense...

to create a page using html editor, you need to store the information in a database. Then create a recordset on your page to output the stored content that was created by HTML editor.

Actually, that part is all working. The pages are being created "on the fly" using the HTML editor and the information IS being stored in a database. The other pages are displaying just fine (any page content entered through the HTML editor). I just may not be able to use this method as there is an included header and footer file and the page content is changed dynamically, if that makes sense. I guess I'm still not sure why I can't just embed PHP code directly into the HTML editor by using the Source option...

the header or footer should not interfere with this.


PHP code cannot be stored in a database. when the server processes the page, it will not pass the php code in the recordset result through the PHP processor.the database integration update for power gallery allows the information stored in the database to be processed by the php processor.

Okay. That answers that then!

Hi Jason

I am trying to add a tabbed panel which the client can update. That part is fine. The tabbed panel needs to be added through the HTML editor so need to do something along the lines of what Ouse described above, but not sure how to do the repeat sections? Also, where can I find the wa_evaluate.php file please?

This is the tabbed panel code I am working with:

<div class="TabbedPanels" id="TabbedPanels1">
        <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
          <?php do { ?>
            <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0"><?php echo $row_FramesTabTitle['Title']; ?></li>
            <?php } while ($row_FramesTabTitle = mysql_fetch_assoc($FramesTabTitle)); ?>
        </ul>
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
          <?php do { ?>
            <div class="TabbedPanelsContent"><?php echo $row_FramesTabContent['Content']; ?></div>
            <?php } while ($row_FramesTabContent = mysql_fetch_assoc($FramesTabContent)); ?>
        </div>
      </div>

Many thanks

Jamie
