CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, is it possible to open another site in the content area? So I want the header, menu etc. to stay in place and that in the content part an other (non CMSMS) site opens. This is where it has to be:

http://miracle.x10hosting.com/index.php?page=webshop

I find it a little hard to describe, but I hope you understand what I mean.

Evert,

you can use the {embed}-tag, or get the {pi_iframe}-tag from the dev-area.
Check the "Extensions -> Tags -> Embed -> Help", for the parameters.

This will create an iframe in which the external link will be opened.

Thank you, it works great

Indeed, it works great, but when i click on the link, a new window will be opened with the page?

example: http://www.ttcv.nu/ under Competitie and then competitiestanden

What am i doing wrong?

Marcel,

that's the purpose of the iframe, it opens the content of a link in the area where you put the link. If you want to link a menu-entry to an external page, that opens in another window use, the content-type = LINK instead.

Ronny

RonnyK, thanks for your answer.

But I want the page within the content section without opening a new window, is that possible? If it is, how?

You have it set to _blank which means a new page, try self...

4.2: Competitiestanden

mark, thanks for your answer.

Where do I have set the _blank in? I mean, in which file?

Marcel,

The content-type = LINK opens the link in a new page.

Reading your last post, I think you mean that you want a link inside the content-area, within the text.
To do so, you can type the text, select the part of the text that you want to become a link, and push the "Insert/Edit link"-button, which is the little chain in TINYMCE. The popup that opens, can hold the "Link URL", being the page to be opened, and the "Target", being the method of opening, there is the "Open in new window (_blank)" option.

The method Mark mentioned can be used as well. If you just copy/paste that code, a link will appear with those parameters given.

Ronny

The one you have in your menu is from adding content and having as content type: link when doing this you are given options as to the Target: this is where you set, none,  _blank, _parent, _self, _top...

I must be using the embed tag wrong because the below page opens a new window to the "Pawn" page on my site with no content in it.

I would like it to operate like the first posters site.

Perhaps have the title as one word? Not sure.

It is the correct code, check with the HTML-button if no extra code is included in the logic.

Ronny

There is some more info you need to add to the metadata text area in Options, find it in the help for the embed tag Extensions > Tags...

Thank you Mark, I read up to the "Required" part then stopped, had I read further I would have seen the rest.

How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {embed url=http://www.google.com/}


Example to make the iframe larger
Add the following to your style sheet:

#myframe { height: 600px; }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 content {embed url=..} and in the "Metadata:" section (advanced tab) you must put {embed header=true}. Also be sure to put this in between the "head" tags of your template: {metadata}
