Posted May 1May 1 Im trying to create a manga reader integration using data from an external WordPress site running. The site exposes its manga list via the WordPress REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/wp-manga), and I want to display that data directly inside Invision Community – ideally within a Page or Block.However, I ran into several issues:I tried creating a "Manual HTML" Page, but {{php}} blocks do not execute at all.I cannot see any option to create a "Manual PHP" Page (it doesn't appear in the page type dropdown).Blocks also do not allow PHP code execution (I tried file_get_contents() and curl_exec() – nothing works).My goal is to:Fetch JSON from the REST APIParse and display titles, covers, and links inside IPS❓Is there an officially supported way to run PHP in Pages or Blocks?❓What would be the correct approach to integrate external data from an API inside Invision Community?
May 1May 1 Community Expert If you're creating an elaborate enough widget or page to interact with an API, I'd advise creating a custom application so you can have full control of it.However, a manual HTML page in Pages will indeed execute template code. This is different than pure PHP. You can read about it here: https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/template-syntax/introduction-to-template-syntax-r137/
