Hi everyone, a noob here!
I'm having trouble with some html I'm trying to add to a page. The code basically creates an iframe which displays xyz website. When I add the code, my page just shows up blank. If I add the same html to the template, it works fine.
Isn't what I want possible at the document level?
TIA!

Feivi Where are you trying to add it ? In a RTE in your document, macro,... ?

That's right, RTE in the document. The code, btw is as follows:
<iframe src="http://www.forbes.com/" name="float1" width="650" height="398" align="left" id="float1"></iframe>

RTE editor filter some elements and it's not good solution to add iframe into RTE.
Create another (string) property paste iframe code into and use it in your template.
Or better create special datatype for iframe pages with properties like iframe url widt and height etc.

Sjors, I tried that, didnt work.
Petr, the problem with using the template is that I want several pages, each with a different site embedded. If I go with templates, I will have to create a seperate template for each page, no?

Feivi Best create a macro with the new url as macro parameter ... something like: Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:param name="url" select="/macro/url" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- start writing XSLT -->
<iframe name="float1" width="650" height="398" align="left" id="float1">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data[@alias = $url]"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</iframe>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Bwakkie, thanks, I appreciate the help, but it seems I need some more of it! I created the xslt file, and the macro that refers to it. But trying the macro both in the template and the RTE itself didnt work... Did I mention I'm a newbie :-(?
TIA

Hi, If you don't need your iframe inside other custom text, you don't need macro.
Just create new DocumentType (iframePage) with mandatory string property iframeURL.
Then create template which use this property.
something like this
<iframe src='<?UMBRACO_GETITEM field="iframeURL"/>' width=50 height=50 />
Then create iFramePage, set url and I hope everything works as you wish

Is anyone from the developer team following this thread? It's kind of heard to work with a cms if the RTE is wishy-washy. The point of Umbraco is to make things easier, not harder, and the moody RTE is definitely not helping in that regard...

feivi18: The code for the RTE is open, so you can make the modifications yourself if you wish. I think the reason for not being able to use IFRAMES from the RTE is by design. Include them in the template or an XSLT-file is a far better choice. And if you want maximum flexibility create a textstring property like the other guys suggest :)

Simm, is there a way to create a page with a textstring property but to still be able to mix the iframe with other content? My main issue is that I want to have several different pages, each with a different iframe and different content.
TIA

You can have iframePage as I suggest with other content, just add property like beforeIframe and afterIframe for example.
or you can workaround striping some tags (iframe, scriptblock etc) from your html by temporary disabling timyCME. If in developer -> datatypes -> richtext editor you switch to something other then timymce you can insert your html as you want.
Save and publish and then switch it back to timyMCE

Create a new macro and in it create 3 parameters "location", "width" and "height". Check the "Use in editor" checkbox. Now create a xslt that looks something like this: Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:Stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="location" select="/macro/location"/>
<xsl:variable name="width" select="/macro/width"/>
<xsl:variable name="height" select="/macro/height"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<iframe src="{$location}" width="{$width}" height="{$height}"></iframe>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Use this xslt with your macro. Now when you want to add an iframe somewhere in RTE just click on the "insert/edit macro" icon in the toolbar. I think this is just what you need.

Macros store their data inside an attribute. That's going to break as soon as he adds quotes to his source.
