google map code getting filtered out

[Alpdog14]

I was wondering why the google code that I copy into the HTML editor of the Content box gets filtered out so it does not show the interactive map. I was able to apply this code in the older versions of CMSMS but not after the upgrade. Here is the code I am trying to use:


View Larger Map

Please let me know what I need to do.

Try to use the {literal} Tag around your code.

For example:

{literal}

View Larger Map
{/literal}

Hi Michael,
  I tried using the {literal} tags but CMSMS still strips out most of the code. After I try to insert the code in the HTML editor and save it, it reduces it to:

{literal}
View Larger Map {/literal}

I was able to get the google image to appear by unchecking the WYSIWIG pasting the code in and then checking the box again but then as soon as I Apply or save it strips it again. Any other ideas? Thanks for trying to help me. I appreciate it.

Oh I got it, I just had to save it while the WSYWIG was unchecked.

Great to hear

Why do you use ?
I've embedded google maps directly into a few websites including driving directions.
Works great for me.

If you want to display quick and simple Google maps try checking out cgSimpleGoogleMaps. It is really easy to work with and you don't have to worry about setting Google's code each time you want to display a map.

It wasn't CMSMS that was stripping out the tags... it was the WYSIWYG. They are designed to make everything web happy and don't know the difference between symbols you want to be displayed as a character or if it is part of code.
