I have added a new snippet to the Snippet Library!

Snippet name: Wrapper
Author: pcwacht
Version: 1.0 (Final)
More info: View this snippet
Description:
This snippet can be used to 'wrap' pages or websites so they seem to be 'in your site'.






Please feel free to comment on this snippet, suggest improvements, or simply praise my work!

Documentation other then provided allready.

The wrapper snippet can be used to show other webdocuments in an IFRAME in your content part so it will seem to be part of your website.

You could for instance show a gallery, forum, static pages or anything else this way.

You call the snippet with parameters:
- Variable list:
- $wurl = "http://www.etomite.com";
What would you like to show? Wich webpage must be wrapped

- $wname = "<b>Etomite</b>";
Name to show under the IFrame.

- $wshowname = "1";
Show the name? 1 yes, 0 no

- $wwidth = "100%";
- $wheight = "600";
Width and Height of the IFrame, width recommended 100% and height recommended 600 but it edpends on your pages.

- $wscroll = "auto";
Would you like to show scrollbars? auto, yes or no

- $wauto = "1";
auto resize 1 yes, 0 no, the wrapper will try to get maximum size

- $wframe = "1";
Show 1 or hide 0 the iframe borders

- $wlink = "1";
Would you like to show a direct link? 1 yes, 0 no

- $wwtext = "Click here";
Text for direct link

You can set defaults in the snippet, so you don't need to call the snippet with each variable.

That's basicly it.

Here are some examples on my testsite : http://pcwacht.mine.nu/etomite62/wrapper.html

Good luck,
John

Please read:

What are snippets?
and
How to write snippets

Those should give you a pretty good overview. More specific questions can then be addressed here in the forums.

We can't be of any help if we don't know what code you are attempting to execute for the Blog menu option... Is this menu option referring to one of the standard snippets that came in Etomite, a snippet you have written, or a snippet out of the Snippet Library here in the forums...:?: Give us more details and we can be of more help... The error code itself doesn't provide enough information to make an accurate assessment of your problem...

[Ralph]

Ok... After looking at your code, the problem is obvious... You cannot use double quotes around variable assignments within a double quoted string... In line 57, as well as several others, you have code like $wrapped .= "<script language="JavaScript">"; whcih needs to be changed to either something like $wrapped .= "<script language=\"JavaScript\">"; OR $wrapped .= "<script language='JavaScript'>";... I haven't fully corrected and tested this code for functionality, but will ASAP... Try making those changes and see if your snippet works...

UPDATE: This code works...

I have updated this snippet in the Snippet Library!

[This is an automatically created message]

Or at least so I tried

Still having problems using

\"

in snippet library. It will turn into

"

wich is not working

Get a copy at http://pcwacht.mine.nu/etomite62 for the time being.
Or use the code Rad has kindly repaired

How come when I supply a height of 100% for the wrapper?  It doesn't end up showing.

Should have something to do with the way IFrames work.
You call the IFrame with no information in it, so it could only fit to 100% in width of current tablecell. The heigth is determined by content wich it hasn't have yet.

At least so I think.

[pcwacht]

It is the same, kinda

Where mambo components output the content during the page is made, etomite snippets output the content into a variable. The variable is added to the content on the right spot.

Kinda diff.

I converted the code in this snippet to xhtml1.0 transisional but I still get a couple of errors inside the javascript. Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Hey there I am attempting to get the wrapper to work. I loaded the snippet. Created a page with the example link to make sure it is working before configuring further. Unfortunately while I'm not getting any errors, what is happening is that the page displays in the browser with the snippet code displayed intact.

Is there something else that needs to be configured before it will wrap the external content? I am using the snippet 'straight out of the box' so to speak. I'm using version 6 final on Apache. and am getting the same output on both firefox 0.8 and IE 5.?

here is the code inserted into the page

Quote

[[wrapper?wurl=http://www.etomite.com&amp;wname=Etomite]]

and here is the link to the page in question

Check your snippet name
Make sure lcase and ucase matches
