Indexhibit^TM
Index + Exhibit

Plugin: Iframed

This plugin will take your input url and display it in the Exhibit area. Like a blog or a Flickr page...etc...

Installation:

Download the 'plugin.ndxz_iframed.php.zip' file to your desktop and unzip. Upload the 'plugin.ndxz_iframed.php' file to your site/ndxz-studio/site/plugin folder.

On the page you wish to display your news, insert this code into the text area:

<div><plug:ndxz_iframed url='the_url' /></div>

'url' is obviously for the page you wish to display in the exhibit area.

The divs are highly recommended - they allow this to work both with and without processing. When in doubt, just use them.

You can not display any exhibit images with this plugin.

Note: when you use this, be sure that you do not create any additional returns or breaks on the page before or after the plugin code.

I've got scroll bars in my iFrame. Is this written into the PHP file that drives the plugin? How can I eliminate these scroll bars?

Link to content - no scroll bars:

Thanks!

Well, the page in question has a table (with no width)...no doctype...I would start there.

The scroll bars are likely happening because the page you are viewing in the iframe is causing them. It's not being caused by Indexhibit or the plugin.

Thanks for the quick response Vaska. I've managed to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar but only by adding an overflow command to the original plug-in script (not ideal). Going to have a look at your suggestion - the page in question.

vaska,
where can i find the link to the iFrame plugin ?

much thanks

Ah yeah...that would be useful too. ;)

Go throug the downloads page...

Is there a way to have a link in the loaded iframe open an exhibit page - but NOT in the iframe. - like if you had clicked on that exhibit's link in the main nav.

Thanks!

(Just getting things going in my own indexhibit! Great tool!)

Nope, that's not possible. These are iframes...not frames.

I just figured out a way to do it (in my case anyway).
I added this line of code to the header of the html being placed in the iframe:

Worked for me! Thanks.

woops, code got stripped out sorry...

< base target="_top">

remove space before base.

Hello Forum,

Im using the iFrame plugin and having the same troubles with width and scroll bars. Ive tried altering the css of the loaded content but still no luck - if anyone would be so kind as to have a look and see if they can spot anything that would be great, many thanks,

Mejo...this is a tough one. I'm not sure where the problem lies here. The iframed plugin is something I consider experimental...it's not perfect.

In your css I noticed that you've changed the width of the menu...and then left some extra margin for the content container. That 10px could be the problem here - perhaps that's what is triggering the scrollbar as it and that's all the difference in the world.

Vaska,

thanks for this - I had a tinker with the css but couldn't figure which width it was, although I tried every width and margin!

Instead I reverted back to a duplicate of the sample template and made the changes there.

Hey! So it works!

It's good to know that it does seem to be solid. My assessment is right then...if you adjust the width of your Index (#menu) you need to be sure you adjust the margin on the #content div to the be the same.

How do,

Yea, its easy to overlook as well. Just to remember to alter both accordingly I guess.

And...you also have to make similar adjustments in the ie.css file too.

!! is that specific to internet explorer? hence ie.css.

Yep.

Where can I actually download this plugin? cant seem to find a link. cheers

Sorry, we're about to roll out a new download mechanism so it is a bit messy right now. ;)
