Creating Wrappers without menu item

[wallacehigh]

hi to create a wrapper around content on another website I am creating a menu item, copying the url of the item then unpublishing the menu item and then I link directly to the wrapper content in my article.

in short is it possible to create wrapped content without a menu item ?

There might be but I am not aware of it

I have resorted to created a few "unused" menus such as "UNUSED", "WRAPPER" , etc.
I then just create these extraneous links in the appropriate menu item. With 4.5.2.3 I can create the wrapper, click apply and get the link all on one screen while keeping the menu item unpublished.

ok, but I´d like the wrapper opening directly into the content, not with a link to clic on... Is it possible?

Yeah my previous post went through that.. however.. that was a while ago.. I now use Joomla but the principle is the same.. you have to create a link to the wrapper... you don't have to use it..
Once you create the link to the wrapper via a menu link, you will have the URL and can use it from within content. You can then delete the menu item if you wish or just unpublish it..
I personally do not know of another way to create a wrapper and get the link to it...

Hi crash777, I understand that this process provide me the URL, but how can I use it into the content without a href link?

To clarify my problem:

A. I´m using CB and have a list os all players of the my team.
B. I have too a Menu link to the content "The Team". Clic on it, appears the content talking about the team.

What I need is, when clic on the menu link "The Team", show a page with B + A contents (not B + a link to B).

Okay, now I am confused... why would you be displaying a CB list in a wrapper?
CB lists have the drop down links for their lists. To remove that, you would need to hack the code...

It´s not in a wrapper, but into his own menu link (index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList ). The idea of a wrapper is to put it inside the content "My Team" but I don´t know if it´s the best way to.

[crash777]

so you want to embed the results of that link into content.. but not just create a link in the content...
hmmm. I haven't a clue how to make the target of a link be available inside content...
Please post it here if you find a way.. I am sorry I cannot help more

Hi All

This may do what you want.

You'll have to do 2 things:
1) Install mos_php? i think it's called that, it allows you to place php code directly into your page contents with wrappers like {mosphp}{/mosphp}
2) You will need to alter your php.ini file to "allow_url_fopen = On"

Then add this code, linking to the page you require....

It works 100% for me. (you may / may not need the <?php | ?> ) closers with the mosphp but I'm at home and cammot remember.

Best wishes
Neil


<?php

$handle = fopen("http://www.shepway.gov.uk/", "r");
$contents = '';
if($handle)
{
while (!feof($handle)) {
$contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
}

echo $contents;

?>


sorry, just remembered... you must end this with a return, so possible something like return $contents; ??????

just connected to work to see how i did it before.

the php to add to your page (after the mosphp mambot is installed and turned on) is

{mosphp}

$handle = fopen("http://www.shepway.gov.uk/", "r");
$contents = '';

if($handle) {
while (!feof($handle)) {
$contents .= fread($handle, 8192);
}
fclose($handle);
}

return $contents;

{/mosphp}
