html code in a textarea

charlie.elsey · Aug 7th 2020

user wants to be able to add social media embeds to their site - this comes to them in the form of 'get code' html code. I want them to be able to paste that code into a textarea region in Perch editing. Can't seem to get it to output the html and hence the embedded item does not appear on the output page.

am I missing something? It's Friday...

This is what I normally use for allowing code in text areas

The template file

Code

<perch:content id="embed_code" type="textarea" label="Embed Codes" help="Used to place tracking codes"/>

Then in your php page/layout

Code

<?= html_entity_decode( perch_content_custom('Embed Code', [
'template' => 'shared/embed_code',
], true)) ?>

You can use the html attribute for this:

HTML

<perch:content id="code" type="textarea" label="Code" html>

In fact, Perch ships with a sample template for this perch/templates/content/code_block.html
