I am wondering if there is a simple module that will allow you to paste in html code and render it. The FCK editor adds formatting that in some cases gives unsaitisfactory results for complex tables, etc.

Basically I need something that works like the 'footer' or 'header' sections under module settings that will allow you to paste in code.

But it would be nice to have a module to do this, espcially if it left the code 'spread out' and gave you some more room to work than just the module header hack.

thanks,

Will S

You *can* do that with the FCK Editor.  Switch it to "Basic Text Box" mode which will then give you options for "Text", "HTML" and "Raw" (when I do this, I prefer to switch in to "HTML" view on the "Basic Text Box" mode).

Hi John,

Thanks for your response. Yes I have tried this before and there are a couple of issues. The thing for me is that like 90% of the client complaints I have with their DNN sites revolve around FCK formatting and issues. I might have a few users that can change the text in a module and if in FCK they change or do anything in Rich Text vs basic, then save it, it will often add loads of code <div> font stuff, p tags, bad. I hear from them.

Also, when you do as you suggest, notice that after you save something that way then go back to it is all 'smashed' together and nearly impossible for them to find where an image is, table row, etc.

So what I need is something I can get it looking the way they want then add things like:

<-- change image by replacing link where x is src="x" -->

<img height="60" width="60" src="http://www.website.com/photo.jpg" alt="" />

or

<-- change title by replacing text between <h1> and </h1> -->

<h1>Title Here</h1>

So if the html code is 'spread out' they can find those items, change, save, and things look the way they should.

I really need to totally bypass FCK.

Thanks,

Will

 I am not sure, if facing end users with HTML is really a good solution. you might want to explore different HTML editors, including commercial ones, and especially the features for content templates provided (also available in FCKEditor).
