PageView Plugin

Apr 14, 2005 | Tags: , , | Written by John

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

  1. Download pageview.zip
  2. Unzip
  3. Copy to your /wp-content/plugins directory
  4. Activate plugin

You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.

    Hi, I've just dowloaded you plugin here today, but I can't see any pageview.css in the plugin's zip. As my icon's referring to /wp-content/pageview/pageview.gif too, I think the version available for download may not be the latest. Am I wrong ?
    Thanks.

    gregg: Look at the styles in pageview.css that's in the plugin's zip (added recently, so you may have an older version)

    golffee: Do you have the latest version from this page? Your icon is referring to /wp-content/pageview/pageview.gif, but the latest plugin is pointing at /wp-content/plugins/pageview/pageview.gif

    I cannot figure out how to change the width on my i-frame

    I am using the Kubrick theme and add

    .stretch {
    width: 100%;
    }

    to the styles.css page through the theme editor.

    Then I use

    It opens the page at the default size. Please could someone spot what I am doing wrong.

    Thanks

    No, it's not possible for the plugin to break a Wordpress installation. All it does is replace text when WordPress displays a page. No changes are made to files or the database

    Dear John,

    At first when i installed your plugin, there was no problem at all, it all works like a magic to me :)
    And then i tried to implemented it in my wordpress' page, and it works like a magic too :D
    And then, here comes the real trouble, after i press the "home" link, everything suddenly turns white. Just white, including the page with your plugin embedded too. The only page that works pretty well is only the admin page. I tried to deactivate, delete and reinstall your plugin, but it totally not works. I also clear every cache and cookies and it failed too.

    I really dunno what happened, 'coz, before i click the "home" link, everything was fine.

    And one buddy of mine check it and said, it was all becoz of your plugin , he said your plugin broke the wordpress installation and i have to re-install the wordpress once again.

    I didnt mean to say that your plugin is buggy, i just curious, is it true, that sometimes in a very rare condition, this thing might happened? 'coz i have seen one site that use your plugin works like a charm.

    For your information, i tried to embed pafiledb into my wordpress' page. Is it happened only when someone tried to use your plugin with pafiledb?

    Best Regard

    Manuel, I can't see any iframe on your page! You must use some CSS styles to change the dimensions of the iframe (see above).
