Problems editing a new page.
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
As a C5 newbie I am having difficulty editing a new page for this site:http://www.cadogans.com/. The page will contain an iFrame for a Wordpress database.
I've set the new page (http://www.cadogans.com/expert) to not show in the main menu so that once it is complete I can use it to replace an existing page.
There are several problems with the new page that I am having difficulty fixing:
1. the new page displays an ugly sitemap - how do I get rid of this?
2. the main horizontal navigation is not visible - how can this be made visible?
3. the background image seems to be obscured by a sea of white (it should look like the attached).
Any help would be most appreciated!
Many thanks,
Gary

Hi mhawke,
I had to start over. I created a new page and seem to be getting on the right track now.

I just need to figure out how to strip out elements from Wordpress pages.
Thanks for your help (and John too!)
Perseverance is the lesson of the day!

Hi Gary,
I don't think you even need a custom page type for this, the whitespace theme comes with a Full one.
Here's an example using Remo's free Iframe block with a width of 100%, height of 1070px, no scrolling (and Design of margin top of -230px):

As far as I know, the dynamic iframe only works on pages in your site, not an external one like your wordpress one.

I believe the Wordpress site is on the same domain. This question is also posted in the 'Jobs; forum with a little more details:

Yeah, I realized that right after I posted.
If you followed the link above, you could pretty much tell I'd seen the job posting :)
I don't believe the Iframe block is included, certainly not in the 5.4.2.1 version he's running.

Thanks again guys! The dynamic iFrame seems to work well.

As for the iframe, there is a free iframe block that should do the trick. Just set it to the width and height you want. There's also a free dynamic iframe add-on but I've never had any luck getting it to resize automatically. The 'sea of white' might disappear when there is actual content on the page.
