Block not accepting HTML code

Store Builder Questions

I created a new block, selected HTML. When I go in to edit what I want, I click on the HTML icon in the top right of the new block. I put in:

You can't put JS in the HTML editor, it always strips it out. Strangely, you can actually drop it right into the corresponding database field and it renders on the front end just fine, but breaks again as soon as you edit the HTML block again.



For things like this I have always just created a custom template and put the code in there instead. Quick and easy to do.

You can also create a static template and add the code into tpl file, if you need extra info please tell me your cs-cart version and i will guide you

create a file [color=#ff0000]my_custom_code.tpl[/color] and add the custom html code inside ( if you are using [color=#ff0000]{[/color] or [color=#ff0000]}[/color] please add [color=#ff0000]{literal}[/color] at the beginning of file and [color=#ff0000]{/literal}[/color] at the end ) depending of you version :[list]

[]3.x Professional: [color=#ff0000]skins/[SKIN_NAME]/customer/addons/my_changes/blocks/static_templates/my_custom_code.tpl[/color]

[]3.x Ultimate: [color=#ff0000]stores/[STORE_ID]/skins/[SKIN_NAME]/customer/addons/my_changes/blocks/static_templates/my_custom_code.tpl[/color]

[/list]

Add block > Create New Block (tab) > Template (block) and on select box choose [color=#ff0000]_my_custom_code[/color]

I get up to addons/my_changes, but I do not have a blocks folder after that. I just create the directory I assume?

11

Yes, and you need also to have addon My Changes turned active ;)



My changes addon is used in order to add extra functionality or change some and also used after an update ;) this is a free lesson :))

I assume you mean the block you tried to put the script code into? If so, whenever I have had this problem, I have went into the database and manually deleted the blocks content. Then it should delete no problem from within the Blocks page in the admin panel.

Stellar, yep thats correct. You talking about sql database? I dont feel too comfy working with that lol

I had trouble managing blocks when using MS Internet Explorer browser. Switching to Firefox browser solved the problem.
