To test whether php works or not, I tried the following code:
<reddot:cms>
<if>
<query valuea="Context:CurrentRenderMode" operator="!="
valueb="Int:2">
<htmltext>
<div>The external RSS feed is only available on published
web
site.</div>
</htmltext>
</query>
<query type="else">
<htmltext>
<?php echo "test"; ?>
</htmltext>
</query>
</if>
</reddot:cms>
On preview mode, I got the message saying "The external RSS feed is
only available on published web
site.", I published and on published site, I am getting as "<?php echo
"test"; ?>"
Any idea what might be wrong? Is there anything I need to install on
our unix server?
Thanks,
CS
