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.

I have modified this a bit. I was unhappy with the way it handled the template file and how restrictive it was on the formatting. So I rewrote the replace routine in the class to find all key value pairs and pass them on to the template processing function. So now instead of being stuck with just url, description, and title you can use whatever you want (and as many as you want) Here is the change in usage.
All parameters are optional. However it would be useful to have at least something that passes the url.
[pageview parameter='value'...]
To work with the existing template just pass these parameters
ex.
[pageview url='url' description='this is the description' title='this is the title']
I like to throw on a style parameter so I can control the height of the iframe. That means that I must use that variable in the template file.
<iframe src="" frameborder="0" style="" >Get a better browser!here is the change in the function in pageview.php
function replace ($matches)
{
//Separate all the parameters
preg_match_all("/\w*='[^']*'/", $matches[0],$allParameters);
//split each parameter into a key=>value pair
foreach ($allParameters[0] as $parameter) {
$pair=split("='", $parameter); //do the split
$pair[1] = trim($pair[1],"'"); //Trim off the trailing single quote
//store the key value pair
$pairs[$pair[0]] = $pair[1];
}
return $this->capture('pageview', $pairs);
}

to change height or width you have to change the pageview.css file inside the plugin/pagview folder...

In response to your comment 84, is there a way to set the height with inline code much like you can do with a tag?

This is weird...I actually cut and pasted the astore code following the above, and when I submitted it, the astore code disappeared...

Hi John,
I am new to all of this and have been learning by trial and (mostly) error, so I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am using WordPress 2.5, the Autumn Concept 1.1 theme. I am trying to insert an Amazon.com astore into a webpage I have titled "Store" I have successfully downloaded your plug-in and activated it.
In the HTML editor for this page, I've typed: what I believe your instructions said, and immediately followed it with the astore code, as follows:
[pageview http://retireforlessincostarica.com/store/ "Retire for Less in Costa Rica" Store]
However, when I publish and preview the page, all I see is a 404 Error. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to use the tags? Do I need to copy something from the pageview style sheet into my html editor?
Thanks in advance,
MightyA

This works great. However i'd like to keep the actual url to the page in the iframe hidden. If a user clicks on the title, the url is then displayed. Is their a way to keep that from being displayed?

Nice, Works well for me. I modified it for my uses a bit.

Well, it work great in IE, but in Firefox the iframe only shows up as a 3rd of the width as it does in IE.
