how to add html code to my ezpublish pages.

Saturday 30 June 2007 4:39:47 pm

Ok, I wanted to basically create a simple page in ez publish, but after reading the manuals, and several forum posts, I was still unable to do so. I want to add a generated payment form from paypal, this is not to be mistaken with the shop, this will do something different from the shop.

The form I am trying to implement is a simple paypal form i have the code it is all html, basically a form tag and thats it. I have been fiddling with .tpl's and this and that, and can't get anything to work with this setup. I am having trouble creating templates and custom pages that I can add my own html to.

I don't feel the doc's or so called faq's are very clear or helpful in the problems that one is having especially attempting to alter the actual look of the site.

it doesnt matter, as long as i can add the generated paypal code, it could be in the web editor or a tpl file, whichever works, and preferably the easier solution :)

here is the sample code:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but6.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
<input type="hidden" name="encrypted" value="mysecretcode :)">
</form>

Yes all I am trying to do is add the paypal forms code which is basic html.

it is just a simple payment button, where my clients can go to pay specific invoices, that may be $1, $10 or $100, or even $100.10 so this is why this is needed as it is generic, and will work well. I currently had to make a temporary solution to assist paying clients now, but I need to have it "included" within the site.

BTW, I am using 3.9.2

Like Heath said, for the web editor using custom tags would be the best. For a tpl file you only should paste the code... and it should work...

I don't see any curly braces in your code, so there should be no problem... anyway you can test with:

{literal}
your code
{/literal}

I have to admit, I'm not very familiar with the new webmin extension and how the override of templates is done in this case... But this should help: http://ezpedia.org/wiki/en/ez/overriding_the_ez_web_interface_ezwebin_with_custom_designs

Thanks, after playing with it, and understanding, and then noticing that I needed to enable the custom tag in admin mode as well, I got it working. Thanks for your prompt reply. Hopefully that will suit all my needs now that I know how to do it.

One other option is to create a custom class with a text block attribute. Enter the HTML in the text block and display it with {$node.data_map.text_block.content}.

This allows you to manage the HTML as content.
