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.

Usage

No sniplet called example

An example is shown below:

    DMX, use display: none instead

    I tried to disable some other plugin and now it's OK but sometimes I have trouble with my Apache Server (Wordpress is at this time running on my dev server, "localhost" with EasyPHP. Maybe the reason why ?).

    I also tried to hide the pageviewhead using the CSS property visibility:hidden instead of the 5 lines in the original code but there is still the table in the code and a white space on the page. Is there a way to delete this white space ?

    I tried to use this plugin with Wordpress 2.3.1 and it doesn't work at all !
    Here is my code I insert in the page post (code textfield) :
    [pageview http://dreamgratuit.canalblog.com "Dreamgratuit" Extensions et tutoriaux pour Dreamweaver]

    Did I do something wrong ?

    Dammit! I've found the problem...

    I have been using the latest plugin all the way through this, but it turns out another plugin has been rewriting your URL, along with a couple of other things (just updated that plugin recently :()

    The offender is http://zechs.dyndns.org/wordpress/?page_id=126 "MediaWiki Markup for WordPress" v0.0.6-r3. I never saw this behaviour with v0.0.6-r2 so I may go back to that.

    Sorry for giving you the runaround. Should be beating up that other author ;)

    Steve, that's a very different method and puts a lot of load on your website - everytime the page is displayed your webserver has to go and downloaded the external page. This is very inefficient and on a busy page could soon kill your site.

    Also, I have a competing plugin called Sniplets, which works around this problem.

    Hi

    I used the plugin from . This allowed me to use php script within the posts or pages..... as it says on their website ' The Exec-PHP plugin executes <?php ?> code in your posts, pages and text widgets.

    Then I simply used the php REQUIRE or INCLUDE command ... example:-


    <?php
    require 'http://www.yourwebpage.com/page.php';
    ?>

    Cheers

    Steve

    Kimmo, are you sure you are using the latest version? I tried the exact same tag and it worked fine (actually I noticed some spurious quote marks, which have now been removed).

    Same for you too Graeme, I have your tag in my test site and the plugin displays the page. I've tried this with both TinyMCE and without and the same thing.
