Dear XOOPS users,

Maybe a newb question, but that is because I am one! Is it possible to show an external website (or page) within a block? I have setup an imagegallery on another server. A lot of photographers stil use it to upload pics, that is why I would like to include that page in my new XOOPS site.

Any help would be very much apreciated!

Create a custom html block and use the tags to load your external pages.

Dear Stewdio,

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I tried to make it work and it works for 90%. The width of the frame can be set to 100% of the block. But the height can not be set. This is the piece of code with wich I expect the iframe to fill the whole block. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the snippet of code, I am really a newbie, like yesterday... I installed XOOPS and it installed fine just tryign to tune it and find out what everything does and how PHP works. Your little code helped me in adding a news feed in a block from another site...

Thanks for helping me........

You can not set iframe height as a percentage ie 100%. Set height as a fixed pixel only.

Read the link posted by studio again.

Yeah, Just noticed that by setting the height to percentage doesn't really do anything. You still have to scroll... but setting to pixel 800, 1200...and so forth depending on the size of the site, will give you the actual size so it fits on the page.

Thanks carnuke for clearing that up and stewdio for the initial answer.
