can I run scripts in an content page?

[dawyatt]

I am attempting to create a separate page called "hot deals from our affiliates". I thought the best way would be to add another content page and just call it via a link or button...

I created a new content page in admin... the new page is
www.buckeye-classifieds.com/testsite/pages.php?page=6

I am using phpads new and create the invocation code/script. I then go to the modify area in the content page and select html mode. I copy the code/script and save... it then hangs...

I am using this script in my live site, but the only difference being I want it all on one page... currently in my live site I have 4 different areas where the affiliate ads appear on the home page....

I did one error that indicated the scripts were causing the systme to run slow and if I continue it could crash... wierd message...only recieve it once.

anyway... after all that, my question is this: can I use the following code (generated from phpadsnew) on a content page that was created via admin?:

<table width="100%"  border="1" cellpadding="0">
  <tr> 
    <td><script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='http://buckeye-classifieds.com/phpadsnew/adx.js'></script>
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>

   if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
   phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
   document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
   document.write ("

   document.write ("&what=zone:3");
   document.write ("&exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);

I think you can, I'm not sure what html is stripped out, but you should be able to add it in. Just be sure you use html view in the editor, just to be sure it doesn't rewrite any of your code.

[dawyatt]

I did use the html view... and once it did rewrite my code, but now it looks fine in the html view mode, but when you call the page it only shows the table... hmmmm

[juven14]

Can you view source from your browser and verify that the javascript wasn't written? Or have you already?

[dawyatt]

okay... when you go to the actual page in my test site:
http://www.buckeye-classifieds.com/t...ges.php?page=6

You will see a 2x2 table as it is defined in the content page, via admin (html view), but the script is ignored... it should display four affiliate ads at a time...

If you do a view source of this page, it shows the script code, but it is not running...

BTW right below you will see the script running on my layout page...

I will keep diggin around... I just would like to keep this within a content page if possible...

[juven14]

Looks like you've sorted it out. What was the trouble?

[dawyatt]

well kind of ... I bypassed the phpadsnew code and pasted the code for each affiliate separately.. it seems to me it did not like the tables & scripts embedded within???

I really want to use the phpadsnew coding so I can track my affiliate clicks myself... but for now I may have to settle for putting them in separatly....

again I think it had something to do with the tables & scripts imbedded... that is not an educated guess!

I am going to keep playing around with the phpadsnew code since I can make all my affililiate changes there and not worry about it ...

so the mystery remains, but I am not paralyzed by it... just going use the work around for now...

I used the html based stuff that just had a plain image tag, but I wasn't doing anything fancy, but it worked quite well for me. I haven't used this script in some time though.

I think I should give up tonight, you see that up there - , but ... , but. lol

I may be out in left field here, havent had my morning coffee and admittedly didnt read every word of the thread BUT content pages added from within admin are stored in a database. Because of this there may be a lot of tag escaping to make sure the data doesnt get taken out of context by the mysql server. Because of this and all the various characters used in scripts etc its not a very script fiendly method of page creation as you have found out.

I would probably just create a static page.

Yea I was trying to use a java script on my home page for a banner script and I entered it into the html editor and it did not show up... So I had to settle with a standard image tag. Is there a way to update the html editor to allow scripts?
