"calling" a html page

Post by bus »

hello,

is it possible to show a html page on a cms page? I imagine something like a line of code, just like when you call the module news or the calender.

Check out the Embed Tag

In the CMSMS Admin Panel go to "Extensions->Tags" and click on the help link next to "embed" (or just read what I pasted below).
Help for the embed tag
What does this do?

Enable inclusion (embeding) of any other application into the CMS. The most usual use could be a forum. This implementation is using IFRAMES so older browsers can have problems. Sorry bu this is the only known way that works without modifing the embeded application.
How do I use it?

Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {embed}
What parameters does it take?

    * (required)url - the url to be included
    * (optional)header=true - this will generate the header code for good resizing of the IFRAME.

You must include in your page {embed url=..} and in the header section (advanced tab) you must put {embed header=true}
Note: I don't have time to take on any more projects. I'm quite busy. I may be too busy to reply to emails or messages. Thanks for your understanding. :)

I'm guessing it means in the "Metadata:" section since there is no header section in the Advanced tab of editing a page. I've never used the embed tag ;)

OH YA that is so funny check this out http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?page=embeded
put this in the page edit box {embed url=http://www.multiintech.com/old/index.html}
put this in the "Metadata:" section  {embed header=true}
be sure to put this in the of the template  {metadata}

BTW: the page in the page is draggable just like an open application window on your desk top, the menu and all the links work, that page is as close as i could get to a desktop app.... then i found CMSMS and stopped working on that site, also draggable page in CMSMS http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?page=desktop...

  have fun

Wow, those pages are really amazing!  :o That must have taken a LOT of work. Good job!  ;)
