Aside from the fact that I know I was stupid for trying it since I just started using eFiction any ideas or help with figuring this out would be appreciated. Here's what I foolishly did:
I have a free stat counter from statcounter.com. I successfully added the code for tracking pages onto the individual pages but I also wanted to add my overall count (you are visitor xxx) back on the home page. Instead of trying to add it in a different way, I figured I would try to add it as part of the "welcome" message on the admin side. My thought was that the worst that could happen would be that it wouldn't display anything (which did happend) but that I could paste the text without the statcounter code back if it didn't work and it would display again. After placing the statcounter code with the welcome message and submitting it, nothing showed up on the home page. Then, when I went back to the admin page and tried to resubmit just plain text, nothing will show up. I'm not seeing any errors appearing either. It's as if I'm not submitting any text on the admin page at all.
I'm kicking myself, but any suggestions of where to start looking to fix this would be appreciated.
Below is what I dropped into the welcome box on the admin page:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var sc_project=948917;
var sc_invisible=0;
var sc_partition=7;
var sc_security="152f2ff4";
var sc_text=1;
</script><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="" http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript>< a" href="" http://www.statcounter.com/" ;" target="_blank"><img src="" http://c8.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=948917&java=0&security=152f2ff4&invisible=0" ;" alt="free tracking" border="0"></a> </noscript>
<script> and <noscript> are probably not in your allowed tags list in your settings. Therefore those tags will be stripped out. If you do add those tags to the allowed tags list to add this to your welcome message, I highly recommend you take them back out when you're done editing the welcome message. Allowing those tags is a gaping security hole.
That's something I had thought about, but however even without those tags used and even now that I've added them to the allowed list just plain text submitted to the welcome block is not displaying. I've resubmitted just plain text without the code chunk and it tells me the action was successful with no errors but does not display anything. Is there anything that I could clear out or reset that might clear whatever the issue is out?
It's kind of puzzling...
Thanks for taking the time to help out... btw.
I assume you've downloaded the updated 3.1.1 release from the downloads? Because there was a bug earlier in the week and the stated fix for that is to download the updated 3.1.1 .zip. See the news forum. That's why you're asked to always do a search of the forums for your problem before you post. It will save you and us a lot of trouble.
I did the 3.1.1 update successfully last night before I did this.
I think you might want to go in through phpMyAdmin and delete the welcome message manually. Then try adding it again with the interface.
Thanks for the idea! I went in and after sifting awhile found the welcome message and reset from phpMyAdmin and it fixed it.
