How to put a page from another site within yours

[Dominic Maricic]

A few people have asked me about embedding other pages into their own site (like if you had a separate scheduling service). It's actually simple. Create a new page , click the Source button to insert code like you do for Google Analytics or some of the other tutorials, and add the following (substitute Google with the site you need wrapped). You can adjust the height so you see the entire page.

<p><iframe scrolling="auto" src="http://www.google.com" style="border-style: hidden; width: 100%; height: 600px;"></iframe></p>

Then click source again and save.

Hi, I used the code you suggested for putting a page in a page.  We use homegauge and use their online scheduler.  When I add this page from my other website, I also added the menu list and banner,etc from the other website.  Is there a way to not show that?
Thanks
Robin

What's your other sites address so I can look at the code. You need to add the HG page instead of yours.

www.charlottehomeinspector.com   page is online scheduler  thanks Robin

[John Hill]

sorry... the other site is www.starmarkinspections.com  page is schedule appointment     
some of the code I entered on my new site is deleted when I execute the source.  the banner hidden code is deleted.  ?

http://www.homegauge.com/calembed.html?iid=2168 is the page you want to embed.

Dominic I was wondering if you can do this with a page from your own website.  When we were building pages in college we would use an include statement to include headers and footers we built that would appear on every page.  I was thinking I would make a footer to go on most pages for the areas we serviced and then would only have to change one place and the changes would show on every page that had this footer.

If you could tell me if this is the same type of thing it would be greatly appreciated.

Fred, we already have that in our system, it's called Blocks. You can add the blocks anywhere within your site. Set them to all pages, or just specific pages. Check out the written and animated tutorial on them.

What's being discussed in this thread is something different.

[Fred Brown]

Sorry Dominic.  I actually didn't realize there was a content block at the bottom of the blocks menu. 

[Dominic Maricic]

Not a problem! Sorry, I think my writing came out sounding different than I meant it!

There's different blocks in different themes. Some only have 4 areas, some have up to 20. You could use an IFRAME to insert it anywhere but it doesn't help your SEO as the IFRAME isn't read by the spiders as existing on the new page.

You're talking about PHP include statements.

Yeah Dominic  I have a little more programming knowledge than most on here.  No worries
