I have a template called product_list which I want to embed in various product pages, so I have downloaded and installed Allow EE Code

in my channel I have

{exp:allow_eecode} 
{embed="embeds/product_list"} 
{/exp:allow_eecode}

the template product list is this

<table id="rounded-corner">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th scope="col" class="rounded-topleft">LED Display Model</th>
            <th scope="col" class="rounded">Colour</th>
            <th scope="col" class="rounded">Lines of Text</th>
            <th scope="col" class="rounded">Typical Chars Per Line</th>
            <th scope="col" class="rounded">Brightness</th>
<th scope="col" class="rounded-topright">Pixel Matrix (HxW)</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
  {exp:channel:entries channel="products_list" limit="10" textlines="1"}
    <tr class="{switch='even|odd'}">
        <td>{Model}</td>
        <td>{Colour}</td>
        <td>{textlines}</td>
        <td>{Chars_Line}</td>
        <td>{Brightness}</td>
        <td>{pixel_h} x {pixel_w}</td>
    </tr>
{paginate}
<div class="paginate">
<span class="pagecount">Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages</span>  {pagination_links}
</div>
{/paginate}

{/exp:channel:entries}  
</table>

if I call the template directly from another template, it works.

If I use the call from the channel, I only get the <THEAD> section, nothing else appears

What am I doing wrong?

{exp:allow_eecode} would go into your template, not the entry. That said I generally advise against using this plugin; there are usually better ways to structure your content.

Im open to suggestions then 😊

I need to generate tables in different positions on different product pages, but cannot see an easy way round this unless I can insert a template into the channel like this

What other ways do you suggest?

well moving the {exp:allow_eecode} into the table template doesnt work!! it does even less - i.e no table at all!!!!

and thanks for saying you would do it a different way, but please cannot someone expand on how I achieve what I am after but doing it a different way! 

As a newbie to EE, this sort of thing is very confusing and so far, pretty hard work just trying to figure out how to do it, so I appreciate that my question may seem trivial, but I can only read the manual, search the wiki so many times, if I cant figure out how to achieve something, then I have no alternative but to post here!!

Matrix might be something you could look at. Look for it over on http://pixelandtonic.com
