If you paste source code into your Custom HTML screen, it needs to be done via the Source button on the editor. I'd keep some of the default code in there that Buzztouch provides, as it makes things work better for mobile devices.

It stripes quotes and slashes. Comments From what I have observed, adding from source does no good. It still messes with your code. It stripes quotes and slashes.

An alternative would be to create a normal HTML file, and either include it locally in the app, or refer to it remotely. Either of those are excellent options.

In another topic I tried to post what it was doing to my code with examples, and the forum screwed up my starting example. BT Server seems to replace symbols with something else and that just does not work for me. HTML that worked perfectly well in 1.3 in custom html will not work in BT server. At least for me.

jeffb Lost but trying Posts: 40 Reg: Dec 23, 2011 location unknow... 400	12/29/11 07:36 PM (14 years ago) I thought maybe I had the wrong type of character set in my database, but I checked it and it was what was recommended for the install. I'm pretty sure it is that WYSIWYG editor. It's still having it's way with the code even when you save it in the code mode.

David @ buzztouch buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 6866 Reg: Jan 01, 2010 Monterey, CA 78,840	12/30/11 03:36 AM (14 years ago) Sounds like we all understand the baseline at least. Forum replaced crazy characters to keep them out of our database (we hate this too). But, the HTML editor does not. What you paste in the HTML editor should remain, all crazy characters included. If the editor in your install is NOT reloading and redisplaying what you paste in the Code View, something is wrong. Because this is a BT server question, you can do a simple test. First, how it works. The data you paste in the WYSIWYG editor is NOT saved to the database. When you click 'save' in the editor (custom html screen), the contents of the editor are saved to a .html file in the app's documents directory on the server (every app has it's own documents directory). All your doing is creating a new web-page on the server with a .html file type. Nothing fancy, simple file. Cut > Paste > Save creates this file. The phone downloads the file from the URL to your control panel. The URL the phone downloads for a custom HTML screen may look like ......domain...BT-server/files/applications/[APPGUID]/documents/customHTML_[SCREENGUID].html You can see this webpage (the one made by the editor) in your regular browser too. To see where this is saved and the page is created, have a look at the plugins AJAX_save.php method in the custom html plugin folder. Scroll down to line 195 or so and you'll see where it saves the contents of the editor to the file system (creates the .html page). Hope this helps.

The Custom HTML/Text screen always requires a connection to the Internet in order to download the source for the page, so using that screen type could be problematic. I always try and use a local HTML page, and just update it via an app update. Won't work in every situation, but in most it should.

And, of course, if you reference any external file, it'll need a connection to the Internet.

PSMDanny Apple Fan Posts: 1166 Reg: Dec 09, 2011 Heerlen 21,940	12/30/11 05:06 PM (14 years ago) Hi jeffb, Don't know if it will work but put the .htaccess file in the bt-server directory (maybe then it only affects this directory). Placing the .htaccess file in the root of the domain will only affect the domain your working on (not on the rest of your server. If you have a reseller account and can create multiple domains on a server). On the other side: magic_quotes is deprecated so you better not use it anymore.
