    embedding media in hivemind template

    Posted 16 years 9 months ago
    • I am new to Joomla but I am starting to figure it out. I would like to add what is called a flake on pageflake (pageflake.com) to a module or article in Joomla Hivemind. I have the code they give (see below). I have tried to both add it in the editor and in the html. When I add through the editor all I get is the code showing up. When I add through html nothing shows up.
      The web site is here (cozmicharlie.com).
      The page I am trying to add the flake to is here ( cozmicharlie.com/index.php?option=com_co...rticle&id=1&Itemid=2 ).
      The pageflake is here ( www.pageflakes.com/cozmicharlie/ )
      The code is
      <script type="text/javascript" src=" www.pageflakes.com/CFFlakeManager.js "></script><iframe allowtransparency="true" id="pffid169309671" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" hidefocus="true" src=" www.pageflakes.com/SingleFlake.aspx?FlakeId=169309671 " style="border:none 0px #cccccc;margin:0px;width:320px;height:408px" onload="if (typeof registerFlake == 'function') {registerFlake(this);}"></iframe>


      Thanks for the help

    • Disable you content editor completely [Admin > Site > User Manager > *You* > No WYSIWYG]

      OK - done. I have it set at "no editor" and I went back to the article and "applied>save" but still did not work. FYI - I am using Joomla 1.5.

      What did you do to get it to work, I have a major problem getting any script to work in a module even though I am doing it through the HTML editor and content editor is disable in config and user settings. I can load a position with an image and with text but not scripts as above. None of the tradedoubler scripts work in iframe, js or html and it is now getting quite frustrating.

      Trying to add this code for skype to a custom module set for advert1 position. It is set for the page and the module is enabled. At the moment the code is just dumped in the custom html area.
      <script type="text/javascript">
      var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(iframe)g(16868560)a(1358325)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);
      document.write('<iframe src="'+uri +'" width="200" height="200" frameborder="0" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>');
      </script>

    • I simply disabled the editor, cut and paste the code in the html and saved just as James suggested. That is all I did and it worked fine. Do you get anything when you refresh the web page - by anything I mean the words of the code written out? Send a link to the web site and I can double check to see if it is working in my browser.

    • Thanks for the reply back.

      The code in the module is:
      <div><script type="text/javascript">
      var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(js)g(16868560)a(1358325)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);
      document.write('<sc'+'ript type="text/javascript" src="'+uri+'" charset="ISO-8859-1"></sc'+'ript>');
      </script></div>

      It should appear on the this page: www.primal-media.co.uk/services/web-design.html

      The code in the article is:
      <div id="lipsum"><p align="justify" >With the popularity of the Internet, websites are a great means for businesses to establish, promote and consolidate their branding. Websites can be used as a platform to communicate and interact with existing customers and potential customers alike.{loadposition advert1}</p>

      There should be a 200x200 pixel banner at around the end of the first paragraph but it doesn't seem to want to appear in either explorer v7 or latest firefox browsers.

      Content - Code Hightlighter (GeSHi) is enabled in plugins
      Editor - No Editor is set to no editor in plugins
      user - administrator is set to no editor in user manager
      Editor - TinyMCE 2.0 is still enabled in plugins although I have not turned this off to test it yet in plugin manager
      System legacy is enabled although I have now uninstalled old plugins that were J!1.0.x so I could probably turn that off too in plugins manager.
      Content - Load Module is enabled in plugin manager

      I did notice that the editor buttons were still enabled in plugins but if the editor is turned off they should not appear and probably do not affect this particular problem.

      I hope there is enough information to solve this, in the meantime I will keep trying. I even tried {rss}link{/rss} to no avail but got around that by using the standard feed page instead.

      It seems that nothing that is put in the custom code area is showing in regards to adding modules etc in the article. There has just simply got to be something I have overlooked.

    • I think you need to turn off Tinymce 2.0 also. Turn them all off - if the edit buttons are still showing then the editor is still on. When I turned it off I did not see any edit buttons, it was just the plain html.

    • All editor buttons are now disabled and legacy is also off. No change on this end, module still does not appear for some reason.

    • The only other advice I can give is to log out and then resign into Joomla administrator. Before you do anything, make sure the editors are disabled and try again. The first time I did this I was working in Joomla and tried to shut the editor down after I had tried a number of different methods. It did not work for me. The next time I signed on I closed all the editors before I did anything then tried again and it worked. That is the limit to my experience - I hope if you have the problem that James will come back and help. Otherwise you may try and post a new thread. Sorry I could not be of more help.
