code displayed

Hi Ray

I'm not sure if this is related to WA or the server in some way.

All my site pages are displaying code - e.g. www.rotary-site.org the main body of the page is done using the html editor, but the facebook feed, which os also displaying code, does not use the html editor.

Puzzled!

Hope you may have some ideas.

UPDATE - I've removed all the other content, just leaving the 'about' field from the recordset, and it's the code that's being shown on https://www.rotary-site.org/test.php?su=websites-for-trf

I've checked the database, and that field only contains that code - it's as if there's some encoding taking place that shouldn't be happening.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Ray

I've solved it - the mysqli included files were corrupt in some way. I copied fresh ones from another site and everything's now OK.

The latest versions of rsobj.php include Cross Site Scripting protection. This will display html code instead of rendering it on the page. To override that and display html, you have to change your reference on the page from:

<?php echo($rsTopNav->getColumnVal("SiteDesc")); ?>

to:

<?php echo($rsTopNav->getColumnVal("SiteDesc",false)); ?>

The extra "false" argument tells it to ignore cross site scripting and render any code stored.

Hi Ray

Thanks for the explanation - does the latest version of DA include the 'false' automatically when adding a field to a page, or does it need to be added manually to every instance?

It needs to be added manually to any instance where you want html code displayed from the database. The default is Cross Site Scripting protected. You have to manually disable the protection when you don't want it.
