Sorry, I guess my question is a little unclear.

What I want to do is enter the tag



into the text field where I would enter news for my visitors.

maps.html is a local file that uses the google maps api to display a map. I have found that dumping the html and javascript from the api code into the text area doesn't work, so I thought about using the 'include' tag as a way to display the file in the news module.

My objective is to display the map as a news entry just like I would with text. Am I on the right track? It seems, I can't submit php code through the text field. I can submit html code, and the news module uses it to format my text.

So if I write



I get <b>bold</b> text. It seems this does not work for php tags. Am I correct? Or is it simply my version of xoops, or the news module.

Thanks,

Dan

I am trying to include a file called maps.html in the News module. I am simply using this tag in the screen where
you typically enter your news text:



When I preview this input, the screen shows nothing. Is this a possible operation? Can I not use php code in
the news module like I would html tags? Any answers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'm trying to figure out if I can use php's include tag within the submit portion of the news module. Is this possible? If so, can I include a file using google maps API?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

I simply pointed the browser tohttp://localhost on the server

Hi:

I installed 2.0.7 on my server running suse 9.1. I made all the necessary files/folder writable, am running up to date version of both php and mysql. However, if I try to load any page it is simply blank. I have done a search on this topic and saw that several people have had similar problems. However, I have not seen a solution yet.

Also, I have managed to get runcms to work correctly on the same server, but would rather use xoops. Any tips on where to start looking would be appreciated as I am fairly new to xoops.

Thanks.
