unknown tag «embed»

[redigo]

Hallo
I try to use the «embed»-Tag, according to your instructions. (CMSMS 2.5.2)
Calling the site with {embed header=true} in the page template and
{embed url="https://xxxx"} in the content area of the page I get the following error report:

Code: Select all

Syntax error in template "tpl_head:tpl_head:30"  on line 43 "{embed header=true}" unknown tag "embed"

Any help warmely welcome!

Hmmm, I get the same:

ERROR: at line 2 in file /home/cthuk/public_html/uglw/lib/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php:
Message:

Syntax error in template "content:content:content_en" on line 2 "
{embed url="http://www.cmsmadesimple.org"}

" unknown tag "embed"

I followed the instructions at
https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/tags/cmsms-tags/embed

CMSMS 2.2.5.

Anyone else get the same?

Anyone else get the same?

Anyone here who knows how to fix this bug?

The {embed} tag was removed from CMSMS 2+ years ago.
We removed that erroneous documentation page yesterday.

[redigo]

Aha! What does that mean? No embedding with CMSMS 2+ anymore? Or has {embed} been replaced by something better?

[calguy1000]

All the {embed} tag did was create an iframe. and it only handled the simplest of conditions, with some really bad javascript. and really didn't save much effort. It was deemed superfluous and we decided that it did not need to be in the core.

iframes are considered evil these days anyways with their security concerns etc, etc.

I mean: It's not that hard to add <__iframe src="some_url"></__iframe> into a template vs. the {embed} tag.

But if you really want the embed tag, copy it from an older version into your assets/plugins directory, and you can maintain it/enhance it yourself.

[calguy1000]

follow up: In most cases iframes are not needed... You could use the {fetch} tag just as well... or ajax to load html from another source.

Code: Select all

<div id="something"></div>
<__script__>
$(function(){
    $('#something').load( 'https://www.somewebsite.com/path' );
});
</__script>

I use the fetch on a test page, works perfectly

Code: Select all

{fetch file='https://www.cmsmadesimple.org'}

Hi
Bad or not I have an Iframe calling up some forms. The Iframe no longer works.
I tried the fetch as suggested above but got
URI 'https://www.cmsmadesimple.org' not allowed by security setting.
How do I get may remote forms to work again please?
If I give the url into a browser they work with no problem. They just no longer show up on my contact pages.
Would be great full for some help please.

For {fetch} to work you need to allow Permissive Smarty in your config.php: https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configur ... ive_smarty
If a simple html iframe isn't working, the only thing I could think of would be that you're using a wysiwyg editor to include the tag. If that's the case, try disabling wysiwyg for that page. If that's not the issue, then it's probably not related to cmsms, but perhaps your site's security settings.

Hi
WYSIWYG is turned off for this page.
Do you mean my CMSMS site settings or my form handling site?
I managed to get CMSMS site to appear in an Iframe after I changed the php config as you suggested, so this indicates my server. I installed a copy of my form software on the same server and under the same domain as the CMSMS installation this has https. just used a sub folder forms.
Checked it in the browser and it worked fine.
Still ignored by the system. no Iframe shows on the page and the div is empty when I look in Inspect (Chrome).
I am lost my other installations that I admit need updating work OK. This is 2.2.5. It was working ok until recently and we changed nothing??
Iframe is included as <__iframe src="https:/plasma-treating.com/forms/plasma-technology/ptform.html" width="360" height="650" frameborder="0">
</__iframe>
Thanks for your reply

Can you show us the publicly facing page with the iframe tag? This isn't making any sense to me, CMSMS doesn't parse your html (when there's no wysiwyg) so something else is going on.

[Dave59]

Yes it under https://www.plasmatechnology.de/kontakt.html.
We are in the process of completely redoing this site.
Thanks for your help.

I get a

SEC_ERROR_REVOKED_CERTIFICATE

. you need to fix that certificate. alternatively, you can load the iframe over http, but only if your page itself is called via http.
