That's what I have:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang=""en"">
    <head>
        <meta charset = ""utf-8"" >
        <meta http-equiv=""X-UA-Compatible"" content=""IE=edge"">
        <!--This maintains the scale of the page based on the scale of the screen-->
        <meta name = ""viewport"" content=""width=device-width, initial-scale=1"">
        <meta name = ""author"" content=""ABK"">
        <!--This liquid tag loads all of the necessary css files for HomeSeer-->
        {{includefile '/bootstrap/css/page_common.css'}}
        <link href='/#ID#/abk.css' rel='stylesheet'>
    <title>
        {{ plugin_function '#ID#' 'GetTitle' ['#PAGE#'] }}
    </title>
    </head>

That's what is in the sample plugin also.....something is wrong, but the system provides no indication of what, so fixing is a bummer as I don't know where to start. I've spent two days tweaking and twiddling the html to no avail.....

Github then

I'm just beginning to begin to begin learning this stuff, but I think you may have to say "hs.plugin_function"

This may help:

OP is asking about Liquid tags in HTML page, but you are talking about scripting

**dcorsus** · August 14, 2021, 10:05 AM

Ususally when there is something wrong with the tag, your page doesn't render at all, it gives you gobbledy gook. Given it shows in plain text and the rest renders properly (is that correct), I would venture the page isn't being processed by scriban.

Some questions:
- you have this page rendered by HS4, right? (meaning you have a registered link in your plugin) and that's what you use, not another webserver that might be in use?
- is the file named .htm or .html, should be the latter?
- the scriban.dll is located in the <hs root>\bin\homeseer directory, is it there? Nothing screwed up the dll directories?

Just some pointers

Also, hit F12 in chrome to see if there are any errors in the console.

OK, that's a few semesters ahead of me, but looks very interesting. I don't think I can look at the example and the "description" and see a lot of commonalities, but then I know so little about it. Thanks for the information. Somehow, I feel like I am looking at the basics of the "New HSTouch Designer".

true, on the other hand, this is server side processing that seems not to happen for some reason

Yes the page is registered and available with HS....
Yes the page otherwise registers correctly
Yes it is .html
Yes scriban.dll (11/15/2019) is in bin/homeseer

and weirdly the SamplePlugin renders correctly.....and processes the plugin_function

**rmasonjr** · August 14, 2021, 02:07 PM

Instead of [] try ['0']

No change, seems either is valid.

do you mind post the whole file, I'll try it against my system, see if the issue is somewhere else

</head>

Solved.......user error

I had implemented the scheme above to allow creation of html within the c# code.

{{plugin_function '#ID#' 'GetHTML' ['#PAGE#'] }}

BUT you cannot embed

Code:

<div class="col-md-7">
    {{plugin_function 'HS4Test' 'GetPluginVersion' []}}
</div>

in the html produced as it doesn't get evaluated recursively......doh

Announcement

{{plugin_function is not called from html file? Any ideas what could be wrong?
