PageView Plugin
PageView is a plugin that will display another web page inside the current post. This is achieved with the use of an iframe - an HTML tag that allows a webpage to be displayed inline with the current page. Although an iframe can lead to a complicated website, it can be very effective when used appropriately.
Installation
- Download pageview.zip
- Unzip
- Copy to your
/wp-content/pluginsdirectory - Activate plugin
You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.
Usage
[pageview url "some title" description]
An example is shown below:
| Title: | Urban Giraffe |
| Description: | A blog within a blog! |

Hi,
Installed this plugin and have activated it - however I cannot get the webpage I want to display to show in the post. All that shows up is the code I typed in.

Check the code you typed - if it is showing up then either the plugin is not activated correctly, or you've mis-typed something.

Again, check the code you typed - if it is showing up then either the plugin is not activated correctly, or you've mis-typed something.

Do you type this "tag" into the text area of the post? I have typed the following:
[pageview http://wwwa.sheetmusicplus.com/a/f_searchresults3.html?
id=12345&sc2=Guitar%20tablature%20Bluegrass&searchDisplayStr=Guitar%20Tablatu
re%20Bluegrass%20Bestsellers "title" description]
All I get is this text showing up in my post. The plugin is installed and activated. I am running WP 2.7.

Great plugin, many thanks. With your plugin I could reuse several parts from my old website.

Hi John,
I have the same problem, just type all correct and get no page within iframe, I just see the code, can you type an example from a working code instead saying to verify the code?
Thanks

Nicole - Download and install the plug-in to your wordpress blog. Activate plug-in and create a post/page for displaying the external webpage. In the post/page you just created, put this code (and only this code): [pageview url "some title" description].
Replace "URL" in the code with the source of your external website: [pageview http://somesite.com "some title" description]. Save the post in HTML view, do not look at the post in visual view as it reportedly disappears.
Preview your post and you should see the "window" appear with your external website displayed. It will be 100% wide to fit you post column and has a set height. You can change that height in the .css page that come with the plug-in.
After I got my window the size I wanted, I didn't like the extra Header that was created at the top of the window so eliminated that stuff also in the .css page.
Hope this helps.

Michael,
Thank you so much. I tried it and it worked ... I thought I had been doing this from the beginning, but apparently not. MANY many thanks again for your thoughtfulness!

Ok one last question ... I wanted to remove the image, so I did ... but there is text there that says "Some Code." Can you tell me which file I would find that in and/or how to remove it? And can I line the Title and Description up flush against the edge of the box?
Okay, so it was 2 more questions
Thanks!

Nicole - My question to you is how did you remove the image? Like I said, I didn't like any of the stuff in the header so I went in to the .css file that came with the plugin and removed everything except the outside border around where the IFrame window appears. Since the website that displays from inside the IFrame window is database driven and refreshes without refreshing the blog page or post, I wanted that area to look seperate from the rest of the post or page.
The original files in pageview.css are:
div.pageview
{
border: 1px solid #999999;
margin: 5px 0px 15px 0px;
width: 100%;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
div.pageview div.pageviewhead
{
background-color: #EEEEEE;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 1em;
height: 50px;
}
div.pageview iframe
{
border-top: 1px solid #999999;
border-right: 1px solid #999999;
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
}
This is how the .css looks after I removed the header info:
div.pageview {
border: 1px solid #999999;
margin: 5px 0px 15px 0px;
width: 100%;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
div.pageview iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 525px;
}
Hope this helps,
Michael

Is there code I can place inside a page template to call up the iframe? I cannot seem to make my ifram work with any other pages than the default.
See http://www.nlera.org/?page_id=276&preview=true - works great - I just can't drop off the side bars without the iframe go missing.
Thanks!

Do you offer a plug-in that will do the OPPOSITE? Allow someone to use WordPress as a TinyCMS on a section of a website that is hosted on a separate URL?
