    • iFrame link in new Menu

    Posted by mrmozambique

    Greetings to all from Mozambique. I created a new menu and activated it without a problem. I created a link to another section in my site that does not exist inside the TikiWiki root folder (ex. root/gallery/index.php instead of root/tiki/gallery/index.php). However, I can't figure out how to make it open inside the iFrame of Tiki so it just opens outside the tiki platform. I lose all the menus, etc. that I created with Tiki. I created a "link" through the admin to this section and selected "Frame." However, I don't see how this interacts with my new Menu.

    I searched through the forms and the documentation, but have been unsuccessful. I'm sorry if this has been posted before (I'm sure it has), but I just can't find it.

    Cheers from Africa.

    Thanks! Greetings from Japan.

    This looks like a job for Tiki's HTML Pages feature. These pages can have the normal Tiki topbar, bottombar and side columns and can have any content, either as written directly on the page or by displaying existing content with an iframe. You'll have to make the page as you want it to look and function. Go to Admin HTML Pages (tiki-admin_html_pages.php) and make a new page that has normal HTML tags for an iframe that will load your non-Tiki page file. Name the page as you please and note its address, which you will use in the menu (the whole URL isn't needed, just the "tiki-page.php?pageName=..." part).

    Thanks, Chibaguy. I'll have a try when I get home. The page I'm trying to bring in is an entire folder/mini-site within my own site. It's not really a simple html page, but I'll have a peek and see if I can make it work.

    I remember doing this before my server was hosed, but I just can't seem to find out how using this rev of TW.

    Hi Gary. I'm back from holiday and I'm afraid to say I'm not much further along than I was before. When I did this before, I'm almost certain that it wasn't with the html pages feature (not positive, just relatively sure). The thing is, I want this pageQuestion to go into my Tiki framework. If you know of a way to produce this in my html_page (now called "gallery), I'd appreciate it. However, I remember there being an easier way. Any ideas?

    By coincidense, I have a wiki page at my family's site that displays Gallery in an iframe, hereQuestion. The wiki source is just the iframe tag, like this (angle brackets shown as parentheses):

    Copy to clipboard
    (iframe id=Frame frameborder=0 name=Content src='http://cunningham-lee.com/gallery/index.php' width="100%" height="900px" scrollbar="auto")(/iframe)


    As my example shows, you could use a wiki page if you have "use html" activated at your site.
