Posting Code in a Page (Doesn\'t show)

    Hey guys I know this might be more of a WPMU question, but since the community is so friendly and knowledgeable here at BP, I thought I would post this here instead.

    I’ve created a flickr API script that reads my flickr photosets fine on a stand alone html page, however, if I try to use the same code inserted into a new buddypress page (trying to keep the header/footer and log in data) it gives me a blank page with just the header and footer.

    I remember reading on here that WP strips out all code, but why does it do it when surrounded by tags within WPMU? Is there a special way to make this work, or even a work around for it? I’m trying to keep my site pages uniformed and themed the same way.

    EDIT: I’ve tried using the EmbedIt plug-in which embeds the HTML, but it’s still not functional. You can see the page here: http://fanspeak.com/fanspeak-event-galleries/ and view the source to see that it does indeed embed, but does not display.

    I’m not sure if this is the best way but what you could do is put your html/script in a seperate file called “flickrscript.php” and put it in your active theme folder.

    then include it in your template by calling it directly:

    <?php include( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/flickrscript.php’ ); ?>

    That should work I think! If you want to entirely new BuddyPress page you can follow this guide:

    Good luck!

    Thanks Bowe :)

    I tried creating my own custom page, but for some reason it was always blank (I must not be doing it right somewhere).

    I’ll give your php include suggestion a try :).

    You can try to include the page in a existing BP page first to see if it works there, if it does you know the problem lies in your custom page :-)

    Hmm that didn’t work either. I’ll have to see what’s going on…

    Thanks again for the help!

    Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays :)
