I thought that would get you. I know that many people frown on this but if I wanted to (and I'm not saying I would) What would be the best way to trap someone else's page within my site?

Trap? Make a new page with one column, then put an html block on that page with an iFrame that calls the page you want to display. You can also set up a menu item for that page, but you will lose the Dolphin menu and header area. |
It's not really a trap. I have decided to just archive my old site and wrap it in my new one. (I'm basically lazy). Thanks for the info. Losing the Dolphin menu and header is no big deal as long as my users can back out of the page... http://towtalk.net ... Hosted by Zarconia.net! |

I actually have an object & iframe solution which uses IE conditional comments since iframe support can't be guaranteed on all browsers (objects should replace iframes anyway). If the iframed content is from an external domain, though, it can't really be "trapped" since cross-domain doesn't allow that. I'm using this method for streaming in content from another site of mine & I don't like JavaScript-only solutions so object/iframe is better-suited. |
Quick question. How do I create permissions for the page? I have the page built, it loads perfectly. Oh, and creating the menu item for it (under forums home) didn't create any issues at all. Works perfectly. See it here --- http://towjobs.com/page/TowTalk (I did have to remove some top code from the header.asp file from the old forum to keep it from popping out on it's own though, lol) http://towtalk.net ...

Permissions for a page? If you mean letting only certain membership levels view it you can't. D7 wasn't set up that way, though I wish it had been. There is a mod by Anton that allows you to do this- $40 I believe. If you mean just hiding it from the public, you can just make the menu item itself only visible to members. |
I kind of figured that's what you were going to tell me. Not really a problem though. I am disabling the site so no one can post anything new or even sign up. I will just close the membership specific forums on the site and just cut n paste the topics to the new forum so I can control them from there. Hiding the menu will have no real effect as people will still be able to just navigate to the site itself outside of townation. The iframe trick really worked well though. http://towtalk.net ...
