Module: Wrapper

Purpose:

The Wrapper Module wraps an external Web page into your site. The external Web page is inserted as an 'inline frame' (also called an Iframe) into your template. This is not only useful to display other people's sites but also to include in your site pure dhtml pages you would have created with a specialized Web Editor, because they would be difficult/impossible to create through available Mambo editors. It also allows you to integrate independent applications and scripts (galleries, directories,..) into your Mambo site content.

Details

- Title: Title of the module to display on the page.
- Show Title: Show/Hide the Title (above) of the Module on the page.
- Position: Assign the Module to a position on the template.
- Module order: The order the module will appear among modules assigned to the same page, in the same position.
- Access Level: Determines who (which class of user) can view the Module.

Usage: | n/a
Default State: | Unpublished

Parameters:

- Module Class Suffix: Type, if needed, the suffix to be applied to the CSS class of the module (table.moduletable) to allow individual module styling.
- URL: Enter the URL for the site/file you wish to display within the IFrame.
- Scroll Bars: Choose whether horizontal and vertical scroll bars are added to your page. 'No' means scroll bars are never shown even when content extends beyond the inline frame, 'Yes' means scroll bars are always used even when content does not extend beyond the inline frame, and 'Auto' means scrolls bars are shown only when necessary.
- Width: Type in a value for the width of the Iframe window, either in pixels or in percentage. Percentage is relative to the html element where the <?php include_once("mainbody.php"); ?> tag is placed in the template.
- Height: Type in a value for the height of the Iframe window, either in pixels or in percentage (see above).
- Auto Height: Choose "Yes" if you desire the height of the Wrapper page to be set to the size of the external Web page. Choose "No" if you do not.
- Auto Add: Choose "Yes" if you wish 'http://' is added automatically to the URL that you type in the Wrapper Link field in the Details tab. If you already have typed in the "http://" in the link field then Mambo will recognize this and not put a second "http:" in the link field. If set to 'No,' then you must type 'http://' or 'https://' at the beginning of the URL in the URL field, or else the link in the URL field will be treated as a link relative to the URL of your site.
