CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi

I am using the emed url tage to emded another webpage.
Is there a way to emebed the content without the menu, footers etc, so it will display and fit into my webpage.

I have try to use anchors and have tried iframes to do this, but with no luck. I am not a programme, so go easy on the lingo.

Thanks

Pete

This question could also be asked as:
How can I scrape the content from some other website (maybe my own, probably not though)' and have it look like it came from my site?

Either way... it's not a question specific to, and applicable only to CMSMS.

What r u on about. I ask a question, if you do not want to answer it then do not.

As i said i have had a go and need help. I just assume that you are not interested

You can't, embedding is embedding, it takes the whole page of the site you embed...

Ok, so if it is not embedding is it possible to use another command to do what i want?

There isn't a command to "guess" what you want. How would any automated task know what is a menu or footer?

Hi there,

I guess I know, what you try to do. I had a similar problem once. But calguy100 is right. The problem doesn't lie at CMSMS but the other page. So you should first ask google and other forums. Besides that, this is probabely the most friendly forum, so please reply in a friendly way too..

Do you have access to the aministration of other page?
Then you could create another page in that CMS whitout footer and header and prepare it so that you can embed it into your CMSMS site. But if you haven't, it's probabely not possible to cut of the parts you don't want to show.

Here is my example, perhaps you can learn something from it:
Here is the original page:

http://www.native-speakers.net/voices.html
a fabulous website to order voice files btw...

And here is the embed:

Cheers.

Hi Thanks for the info and the examples.

I simple asked a question, I never said it was an cmsms issue. I use cmsms as my website so ask the question here.

I  thought you could embed or import( or whatever the correct termpages) using anchors, maybe i wrong. I am no coder so i do not know.

I do not have admin to other pages. i am importing info from other sites that is updated regularly, so i thought it easier to embed than manually update. I assume this would be a standartd in the web world.

I have tried using iframes and others but had no luck.

Ok. One last idea, but I don't know if it works, you have to try:
Can you manipulate the content of the iframe via css?
Then you can choose the div's you want to hide via 'web developer toolbar' or 'firebug' and hide them with 'diaplay: none'.

If the other website has RSS you could try it with RSS2HTML module or similar.

I am not good with this stuff, but i ll have a play and see what i get.

If you don't own the other site and it doesn't have RSS feed or you aren't doing it via RSS2HTML...

Then what you are doing is illegal...
