Views is stripping tags from the output

Question

Hi, I have a Drupal view which should output a video player using flash. I am trying to output a script that will call the flash film. The problem is that Views applies some sort of filter that strips my <script> tags, the opening and the closing one. I am searching a solution (some setting in views that will disable that filter), but cannot seem to find an answer. Other HTML tags work, but it seems the script tag is being stripped, probably for some security reason.

I have selected the option to rewrite the output of the field and I am using the tags correctly

Views also strips style attributes from my tags. For example:

<h3 style="border-bottom: solid 1px #ffcc99;">Some text here</h3>

appears like this:

<h3>Some text here</h3>

Is there a solution for this? Thank you.

I am pasting below the code I am using in my view.

<div class="bloco-filme">
  [title]
  <div class="field-imagem">
    [field_imagem_fid]

    <script type='text/javascript' src='sites/default/files/js/swfobject.js'></script>

    <div id='mediaspace[nid]'>Se você estiver visualizando esta mensagem, significa o Flash Player não está instalado em sua máquina. Para assistir ao vídeo é preciso instalar o Flash player</div>

    <script type='text/javascript'>
      var so = new SWFObject('sites/default/files/plugins/jqplayer/player.swf','mpl','205','undefined','9');
      so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
      so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
      so.addParam('wmode','transparent');
      so.addVariable('file','[field_video_fid]');
      so.addVariable('quality','false');
      so.write('mediaspace[nid]');
    </script>
    [field_video_fid]
  </div>
  <div class="field-resumo">
    <p>[body]</p>
  </div>
</div>

The code above is beinng posted in my view. I have created a view to handle this. This is the FIELDS area of my view:

Fields Node: Nid Node: Título (title, it is in pt-br) Node: Link "editar" (edit) Node: Link "apagar" (delete) Conteúdo: Imagem thumbnail image Conteúdo: Video URL do arquivo (video file URL) Node: Corpo (Body)

I have disabled the display of all the fields above and have packed all the code in the Body field. There I selected the option that I want to rewrite the output of the field.

I don't think the view is causing the issue. kiamlaluno is quite correct that the input format will strip a lot out of your code, unless you alter the input format, however I'm not sure you'll actually be able to achieve what you are trying to do using the body field in any sort of graceful way.

Use views to output the content you need from each node type, but I never use views to determine how this will be displayed (apart from ordering fields etc). I tend to do this either using the display fields option (/admin/content/node-type/[your-node-type]/display) or in the theme. In other words I theme the node (content type) or the field itself.

I would consider looking here - http://drupal.org/node/206980 - to see how to theme individual fields. use the field_ (field name prefix) at the start of a copy of the content-field.tpl.php in your theme folder (you'll find it in the theme folder of your cck folder), and use this to theme the field the way you want it to be presented (using your code above). So, when the view picks it up to display it, it will theme it using your code above.

This, of course, has the added advantage that you don't need to add in any code to the body element of the page, which is not a scalable way to do this at all.

Alternatively, you could write a small module which uses hook_field() (link 1, link 2) to rewrite the field display, but unless you want to be able to customize any of this in the admin area of the site, your best option is probably to theme the field itself as above.

Answer 2

kiamlaluno identified the basic problem, but to solve it, you're going to have to use a field template which will avoid using the filtering system Views uses. Group 42 has a great guide to walk you through the basics of Views theming, so I'll just gloss over those details and talk about your specific case.

First, you need to identify which field you want to rewrite: I believe you're doing that using the Field configuration, but it's not clear which field you are rewriting. I'm going to assume it's the body field. Go through Group 42's guide to create a new template file for the body field in your theme.

In the new template file, use the following code:

<div class="bloco-filme">
  <?php print $view->field['title']->render($row) ?>
  <div class="field-imagem">
    <?php print $view->field['field_imagem_fid']->render($row) ?>

    <script type='text/javascript' src='sites/default/files/js/swfobject.js'></script>

    <div id="mediaspace<?php print $view->field['nid']->render($row) ?>">Se você estiver visualizando esta mensagem, significa o Flash Player não está instalado em sua máquina. Para assistir ao vídeo é preciso instalar o Flash player</div>

    <script type='text/javascript'>
      var so = new SWFObject('sites/default/files/plugins/jqplayer/player.swf','mpl','205','undefined','9');
      so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
      so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
      so.addParam('wmode','transparent');
      so.addVariable('file','<?php print $view->field["field_video_fid"]->render($row) ?>');
      so.addVariable('quality','false');
      so.write('mediaspace<?php print $view->field["nid"]->render($row) ?>');
    </script>
    <?php print $view->field['field_video_fid']->render($row) ?>
  </div>
  <div class="field-resumo">
    <p><?php print $output ?></p>
  </div>
</div>

Save your new template file, and now the body field will be replaced with the correct output. Just make sure all the fields you've referenced in the template are before the body field within the Fields list when you edit the View.

You can see that this is mostly HTML with a few PHP bits. Code like this:

<?php print $view->field['title']->render($row) ?> 

outputs the contents of a field other than current one (i.e. you use this code when you want to reference fields other than Body). It references the same row and finds the value of the field.

And code like this:

<?php print $output ?> 

Outputs the value of the current field, in this case, Body.
