A full description of the issue:

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,

D

I'm not the best person to answer this, but maybe you should try adding it as an iframe. If the .html file is local, I think there is javascript code out there that can determine the dimensions of the document, and size the iframe appropriately so you won't have any scrollbars.

Not very clear about your question

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
