Help with wrapping

Help. I need to include external web pages into my XOOPS environment. I've played with the various modules that claim they do this but they all seem to require the html page to be stored locally.

I need functionality like the "PostWrap" module for PostNuke. A module that displays an externally hosted page inside a XOOPS block or Frame. I don't want to create a local html file and "wrap" it, I want to point at an external web address and have that page (or pages) displayed inside my XOOPS pages.

Can someone help?

Wouldn't iframe work for you? Instead of using a custom block, just wrap it right in tinyd (or whatever mod you're using).

Use the following with the MyPage module. Adjust as needed.

Quote:
include("../../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1;
?>



//include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/ads/randomads.php";
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>


For more information, see the FAQ krystinevo pointed out.

Best Regards,

Fantastic!!! Thanks Krystinevo, JMorris and Goober, your responses are much appreciated!

I've found I can even put this code in a block. That just rocks! It makes the use of this even more flexible. I am a happy guy

I tried the above and I got the page wrapped alright, but then the links in the page didn't work right.
