behzad, I have a sub-domain or sub-folder for the WordPress instance to separate content. Thereafter linkage is through use of a partial path URL as it is in the same domain.Quote:

Behzad, the main issue is that your Xara iFrame requires a width depth value. 100% values don't work in this case. So you may require iframe scroll bars to view the iframe content.
Acorn is stating that he has WordPress in either a subdomain or sub-folder.
Thank you. Scroll bars aint that bad are they?
I get round this for known pages lengths by applying a CSS3 transformation scaling of 90% so I can embed the entire WP page within my Xara one.
Acorn
Hi Acorn, can you expand on that please?
Yes Acorn, I am a bit ignorant of these things. Please expand.
OK, scaling.
I have an IFRAME that is effectively using the Embed a Website widget.
The IFRAME ID is iframeEvents.
I add some CSS to present the embedded page at 90%:
<style type="text/css">
#iframeEvents {
zoom: 0.9;
-moz-transform: scale(0.9);
-moz-transform-origin: 0 0;
-o-transform: scale(0.9);
-o-transform-origin: 0 0;
-webkit-transform: scale(0.9);
-webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
}
</style>
So assuming the page is a known height and width, similar to the Xara design page, then the IFRAME seems to hold the embedded page nicely wrapped by the same styling as the rest of the site.
The IFRAME Placeholder needs to be the actual dimensions of the embedded page so is usually larger on the design page and only "fits" when rendered.
The "better" way would be to use jQuery to abstract all the HTML required to embed directly into a <DIV>, avoiding the IFRAME and unwanted header and footer detail. You would only do this far if the styling of the two pages was radically different.

Clearly your know how is surpassed than mine. Care to present the idea with an attachment/file?
Just to show something working: Attachment 121642

Cool Acorn. Thanks.
behzad, you're welcome. It has its limitations but I have used it as smaller live thumbnails with a click to open in a new tab.Quote:

What I like about them is that they are affordable, and have apps too.

Thanks for the import here Acorn but I'm missing the point I believe. Why reduce the TG website to 90%? Why not just use a placeholder with:
Where does the 90% come into play?Quote:
<iframe iframe name=TG src=https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?79537-Iframe-importing-database width=1030 height=6000 scrolling=no frameborder=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0></iframe>
Egg, if your web page is narrower than the embedded one, you get a horizontal scrollbar.Quote:

Ah, with you now Acorn. Thanks for the explanation :)
And what do you think of the link I provided? :(
behzad, t is hard to say as it hides behind a cost barrier. If I had to present information through a database, i would want a mechanism to secure that content. That, in itself, implies, a secure logon component for user registration, role setting, password expiry and change, lost passwords and all the little things that we encounter and hardly think of these days. Next, would be session management; how a user can move around the place and a shopping cart is retained or next logon, settings are still available.Quote:

It is a collection of packages for a small to medium enterprise (SME), a set of business tools that are for CRM, HR, Fin and the like.
It is not a database bolt-on for Xara Desktop applications producing static websites.

Thanks Acorn, Always good to hear your point.
