Inject html file(s)

[fenris_w0lf]

Hi,

I did a search but couldnt find this documented/discussed anywhere, I appologize if I'm wrong.

Say you have html file(s) on your TP server that gets updated on a regulary basis. You want to present the content of this file when the user press some link in a block in the "sidebar" and the content gets displayed in the "Content Area" / "Body" of the "Home Page".

Possible ?

First...MAN your fast
Second....oj!!!! that looks NEAT!!

Now;

The code is:

Code Select Expand


<iframe
src ="/default.asp"
width="100%">
</iframe>

Two questions:

1) Its possible to replace "default.asp" with "default.html" ? (sorry I dont know the difference betw asp and html ( )
2) Where can iframes be used within the TP framework ?

You can put just about anykind of file in a iframe. Anything that can be viewed by a browser anyways.

Also, notice the attributes you can add. Say if you wanted to have no borders, then use:

Code Select Expand



<iframe border="0"
src ="/default.asp"
width="100%">
</iframe>



There are alot of atributes you can use for it. Even no scrolling. However, you can set a Iframe width attribute to 100%, you cannot set the hieght to 100%.

There are javascripts that allow it, but only if the page is in teh same domain as the iframe.

Hey thanks Xarcell!!

Hmm...I seem to recall reading something about having to turn off some WYSIWYG editor to make this work - am I remembering correctly ? If so; where do I do this ??

And; does that mean I would also have to turn it off for regular posting ?

And; where would I find these javascripts that allows for height adjustments ? (My first two iframes will most likely be located on same domain)

[Xarcell]

If your using v7 of TP, then yes. I recommend you turn it off. However, if your using v8 of TP, it should work fine.

Be sure to add the  height="###" attribute to your iframe.

If you need anymore help let me know.

Still a few unanswered questions:

* Where can iframes be used within the TP framework ?
* Will turning the WYSIWYG editor off, also affect regular posting in the forum - or just articles etc?
* You said:

You can use iframes in the theme, articles, or blocks.

WYSIWYG editor only effects what you write for articles.

Is the page your wanting to put in a article have links in it to other pages? If not, there is a better method than iframe.

In an article using php, this may work:

Code Select Expand


<?php

include('the name of page.html');

?>
