This is not working.

I’ve created a custom field in the Photo Gallery Module and want to cut and paste code into it from a photo printing website. I’ve set the formatting of the custom field to none, but it keeps converting all greater-than/less-than symbols to its tag code. Here’s a link to my problem:

How do I get it to just display the link as just a link as opposed to a code block?

Check if formatting is really set to “none” and be sure you’re copying the exact amount of code. I see a closing script tag there but no opening one.

Thanks for replying. I checked formatting and it is set to none for sure. Here’s the code that I was trying to paste in there:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="180" height="322" id="badge" align="middle"><embed src="http://www.imagekind.com/flash/banner_single.swf?imageNum=91eb21ab-863c-4239-9c47-9cfc41017c44&guid=3fe31e19-1a23-4ae0-8513-c325ecddbdc2&rand=false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="180" height="322" name="badge" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" ></embed></object></ script>

and here is how I’ve placed the tag on my template:

<!-- START ENTRY DISPLAY -->
{exp:gallery:entries gallery="{gallery_name}" show_future_entries="yes"}
<ul id="detail">
<li id="image">{image_url}
{title}
{if caption}{caption}{/if}
</li>
</ul>
{custom_field_three}
{/exp:gallery:entries}
<!-- END ENTRY DISPLAY -->

It’s suppose to just show the flash button from Imagekind on my website. Very strange.

My point exactly: the code you are pasting in has a closing :

</ script>

tag but no opening script tag. Can you tell us where you are copying and pasting this from?

From a website called Imagekind.

As a member I can post a link to my artwork that I can place on my own site. I assumed it was just a cut and paste thing. I guess I need to add a tag to the beginning of it?

I see now, but the code you’re trying to embed (see 2 posts up) is not the same as the one I see in the picture. Have you tried copying and pasting again and checking that you have, indeed, all the code?

You’re right that code is incorrect.

I think something got cut off in the pasted code when I made that post, but here it is fully pasted:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="180" height="322" id="badge" align="middle"><embed src="http://www.imagekind.com/flash/banner_single.swf?imageNum=14f692e0-0d43-4ef0-8937-c2042d515792&guid=a177a3d1-8754-42cf-9571-921b15dd01da&rand=false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="180" height="322" name="badge" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" ></embed></object></ script>

In any case I pasted this same code into a primarily static template and it worked. And then pasted the same code into the edit pane of the image in the photo gallery module and it didn’t work. Something is strange with the way EE displays data in custom fields that contain html code. I checked the prefs and turned the formatting to off. Is there a tag I need to wrap the {custom_field_one} tag in, in order for this to work?

EE forum module is stripping out some of this code I’ve concluded.

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="180" height="322" id="badge" align="middle"><embed src="http://www.imagekind.com/flash/banner_single.swf?imageNum=14f692e0-0d43-4ef0-8937-c2042d515792&guid=a177a3d1-8754-42cf-9571-921b15dd01da&rand=false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="180" height="322" name="badge" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" ></embed></object></ script>

It’s doing it in this post as well, turning all the < into <

Truly strange!
What settings are you using for that particular customfield?
It should look like the screenshot…

Remember this is in the photo gallery module. And by the way EE for some reason is messing with the pasted code.

As seen in my last post.

Sorry, not very familiar with the Photo module.
What happens when you ser auto-link url’s to no?

Sorry, not very familiar with the Photo module.
What happens when you set auto-link url’s to no?

Nothing happens when I set auto-link url’s to no.

What’s strange too is how EE rewrites code even in this forum. What I cut and paste is not what comes out even using the code tags.

This is the code without using the code tags which seems to be the correct way the code should be.

EDIT:

Actually the pasted code will not render correctly in the forum. It appears to only render correctly in the preview.

Frustratingly odd??!!
