Dynamic content. Volunteers needed.

**covoxer** · 11 March 2009, 04:06 PM

If you want to insert server script generated content into WD design then you may encounter a problem with a static layout of the page. One solution is to place it within a scroll box. But this doesn't look great.
So I think I can try to write a snippet to provide some dynamic capabilities.

Now, if enyone is interested and have a design that he want to use with dynamic content and has a server that generates this content, so, generally is ready to try out the script, please answer in this thread.

Thank you.

John, can you link us to an example that demonstrates dynamic content please.

**covoxer** · 11 March 2009, 04:22 PM

No. I shall not develop it for the demonstration. Only for practical use.

Hi,
don't know if this is what you are looking for but I will answer anyway.
I am trying to design a site for a game forum, that utilizes php scripts, which my personal webspace doesn't alllow. I am trying to place a "place holder" to hold an Iframe containing the forum scripts.

For our home listings, at sunhome.biz we will be using an iframe to insert content from mhvillage.net. The listings will range from 1-30 listings per page so at times the height will really need to grow. If this is what you are looking for I can provide the iframe source code.

Thanks, James

Yes, I would like to see the working code that you use. You can PM me if you want. I would also like to see the design that you want to use with it. It would be great if you already have some sort of working design with iFrames or scrollong div used for enbedding. This would help me to make easy to use code.

Also the more people contribute with such prototypes, the more flexible code shall be.

Thank you.

I routinely build my pages using PHP includes. Notices for holidays, sales etc., appear and disappear according to date. Clients love it because they don't have to pay for these changes - they are programmed into the site. The problem is the include sizes can vary. This isn't a problem unless one is using fixed layouts like XWD.
Adding a PHP include is certainly no issue since one can use a placeholder but the differing size of the includes will create havoc with the displayed page. A program that seems to get around this issue well is Dynamic HTML Editor from Italy. I already love XWD and don't know if I can be any help resolving this issue or not. Let me know.

Yes, you can help.
Provide me with the example of WD design that you want to use with dynamic content (PHP include). Use placeholder for the PHP content.
Also it would be great if you publish it. Do not bother with overflowing content yet, that's what I'm going to fix with your assistance. Lookig at your design I'll be able to use an optimum approach for this solution.
