You mean you put it inside the template file?
If so, you must call joomla plugin in your code

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi, I am just putting code for a pressure unit converter without using a editor (even put it directly into the data base) in the description field of an article. All plugins are allowed. Converter works on the old page (Joomla only) but not on the new page (FlexiContent).

If you put in description field with correct syntax and enable this plugin triggering, then it should work.

For better compatibility we set view to be "article" and option to be "com_content" before triggering plugins, but maybe the plugin is checking something else too, like some other URL variable and it decides not to trigger.

Did you say that other plugins work properly?

Ok. I am not loading a plugin, nevertheless all plugings are allowed to load and I am using article default template. Here is the source code of what I put into the FC item (short version with only two variables).

Code:

<!-- PRESSURE CONVERTER START -->
<form style="padding:0;margin:0" name="cat=Pressure">
<table align=center width=500 style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%" border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td style="padding:1.2ex 1.5ex;width:50%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">From:<br><input style="width:100%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%" type=text name="bindid=left;base=1"></td><td style="padding:1.2ex 1.5ex;width:50%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">To:<br><input style="width:100%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%" type=text name="bindid=right"></td></tr><tr><td style="padding:1.2ex 1.5ex;width:50%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<select name=left size=2 style="width:100%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%"><option value="inch water (60%b0F)" selected>inch water (60&#176;F) [inAq]</option><option value="millibar">millibar [mbar]</option></select></td><td style="padding:1.2ex 1.5ex;width:50%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">
<select name=right size=2 style="width:100%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%"><option value="inch water (60%b0F)" selected>inch water (60&#176;F) [inAq]</option><option value="millibar">millibar [mbar]</option></select></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 style="padding:1.2ex 1.5ex;font-family:Verdana;font-size:13px">Result:<br><input style="width:100%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%" type=text name="type=result;bindid=left;bindid2=right"></td></tr></table>
</form>
<script src=http://www.unitconversion.org/converter3/converter3.js></script>
<!-- PRESSURE CONVERTER END -->

So this is this not a joomla plugin, but a custom code you are trying to use in your template.

Make sure you have inserted in your template all needed code and you are loading all needed files, then check for javascript errors.

You will need some JS knowledge to debug this
