wordpress and indexhibit

think5577 / 2008-08-11 20:40:56   

ok, so i've searched around here and tried to find info on embedding WP into indexhibit. I found this and tried to use the help from it. http://indexhibit.org/forum/thread/805/

I still don't understand it. I found this from WP. http://www.myjavaserver.com/~debuchakrabarty/iframe.txt
And am trying to find how to customize it to read my WP URL. Where to I insert my URL? Where do I put the code once I get it?

I do like this interagtion. http://www.lapremiere.org/blog/ and http://alanwoo.ca/index.php?/project/valley-retriever/

So if someone can explain this process one more time, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

This is the link you've been looking for...in our tutorials section:

How to integrate Wordpress

LeslieOA / 2008-08-11 21:10:56   

Grab a copy of Indexhibit's Iframed plugin and in a new page (we'll call it 'blog' for example), insert the following code: -

  1. <plug:ndxz_iframed 'http://think5577.wordpress.com/' />

The above will embed your blog as an iframe.

The PHP you linked to would firstly involve the file being saved as a .php file with the right permissions, and a little hacking to get working with Indexhibit, which seems unnecessary with the Iframed plugin already achieving this task.

Let us know your progress.
Peace.

i followed the instructions but it only redirects me to my blog , iframe not working, why?

LeslieOA / 2008-08-12 19:48:44   

@adramelin: - Your website address would help so we can see what you mean.

Eloisa A / 2008-08-12 19:50:58   

Can you show us?

abramelin / 2008-08-12 19:56:22   

i am working on local :/

but what i mean is i followed the steps, when i click the blog button in my indexhibit menü, it does not load the blog in the indexhibit page, it goes the blog page (whole blog page) am i missing something with inserting the plugin ?

abramelin / 2008-08-12 21:49:48   

also i am using clean url does this make sense?

Vaska A / 2008-08-12 22:44:37   

Not really. Honestly, we can't see what you are doing...we can't see code...etc.

abramelin / 2008-08-12 22:59:43   
i created a new exhibit in my info section, published it, in its text editor pasted this

turned off the process html and saved it.
when i click on the blog link in my index page, blog is not opening in the exhibit area, it open the whole wordpress blog page.

Vaska A / 2008-08-12 23:01:06   

Sure, but this doesn't really help us see what's going on. The explanation doesn't tell me much. Put it on a live server and show us.

here it is, click on the blog link

Vaska A / 2008-08-12 23:18:36   

There...now it's easy.

Indexhibit uses virtual urls...meaning the pages don't really exist except in the database. So, if you cross a url with something that does exists "/blog/" it will show the real thing. This is what is happening...

The easiest way to solve this would be to change the page you created called "Blog" to something like "Journal" and then unpublish...then republish...and it should work then.

I'll point it out now...you will likely get scrollbars when you get it working...you will need to style WP to get them to not appear.

abramelin / 2008-08-12 23:23:31   

yeah! thank you very much vaska :)

abramelin / 2008-08-13 16:35:55   

can anyone who is using wordpress with indexibit share his/her css settings with us please (for the people who have scrollbar problems like me)

thanks

Eloisa A / 2008-08-13 18:08:39   

I think the fastest solution is that you do some digging around the websites you like, view the source and retrieve the css yourself.

Oh, and you can post your results here for further reference :)

abramelin / 2008-08-13 21:59:37   

i did it but nothing changed, i pasted the css codes that vaska used in 2 indexhibit sites but nothing happened :/

Vaska A / 2008-08-13 22:33:10   

shift + refresh

abramelin / 2008-08-13 23:00:53   

does indexhibit css is important too in wordpress ? or only wordpress css?

Vaska A / 2008-08-13 23:33:42   

I don't understand the question...

abramelin / 2008-08-13 23:58:10   

what i mean there is too style (.css file) one of the style is wordpress' style and one of the style indexhibit's style (for example the style.css of sample template)

when adding blog to indexhibit, is it important to edit the indexhibit style too? or just wordpress's own style is enough?

abramelin / 2008-08-13 23:59:50   

for example look at this
http://www.burceboran.com/blog/

i just paste your style vaska but there is still scrollbars in firefox.

abramelin / 2008-08-14 07:43:52   

also when i want to validate my site w3.org says;

"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 11 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.

The error was: utf8 "\xE7" does not map to Unicode "

can the scrollbars related with this?
and i dont know how to fix this validation error.

abramelin / 2008-08-14 08:10:56   

ok i fix the xhtml errors now the page is xhtml valid but still scrollbars :/

abramelin / 2008-08-14 13:04:43   

yeah i made it! :)

here is my solution for wordpress scrollbar problem, i didnt touch my own indexhibit style and wordpress style , i just modified the plugins css like this

  1. $iframe = <<< EOH
  2. style type='text/css'
  3. #content { padding: 0; margin: 0 200px; }
  4. #content .container { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
  5. </style>

so what are you thinking vaska? is this a true modification ?

abramelin / 2008-08-14 13:42:42   

ahh but now look at my scrollbar where it is :/

abramelin / 2008-08-14 13:56:11   

i realy cant understand how you managed to make this blog
http://getinvolvedclub.com/we-say/

i tried everything that i know but no result :/

abramelin / 2008-08-14 15:32:47   

ok i fixed it now ! :D
http://www.burceboran.com/blog/

yehhhhuuuuuuuu indexhibit forever :D

but vaska you should know that iframe plugin is not compatible with ie7, what i mean my site and your site (get involved) having extra scrollbar in ie7, you should check.

Vaska A / 2008-08-14 15:39:09
