I'm trying to embed a Google Calendar to my site but the HTML Editor keeps stripping out the <iframe>. I saw some old posts in the archives about this, but don't have a clue what I'm doing with the TinyMCE. Also, Double-A-Ron has an archive about creating a new page type (CalendarPage) and inserting this code in the "class CalendarPage_Controller extends Page_Controller" section of CalendarPage.php:

public function getGCalHTML()
{
$html = '<iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showCalendars=0&amp;height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%233366ff&amp;src=orphanhope%40gmail.com&amp;color=%232952A3&amp;ctz=Africa%2FJohannesburg" style=" border:solid 1px #777 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>'

return $html;
}

But when I do this, I get a parse error for that last line that says "return $html;"

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've had the some issue, with iframes and onClicks. Silverstripe is being to cleaver and brutally pulling these out. Kind of forces the admin to think of a more compliant way to implement these things.

you're missing a closing semi-colon at the the end of the $html variable, It worked a treat after that.

Hope that helps

Bambii7 thanks for the help!

So should it read like this:

return $html;;
}

Um more like

public function getGCalHTML()
{
$html = '<iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showCalendars=0&amp;height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%233366ff&amp;src=orphanhope%40gmail.com&amp;color=%232952A3&amp;ctz=Africa%2FJohannesburg" style=" border:solid 1px #777 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>';

return $html;
}

php needs know when you're done defining a statement or variable. It's pretty mush a full stop after a sentace.

$html = 'stuff to print';
The semi-colon at the end of that variable tells php it's the end of that statement.
