Embedded website doesn't show on page

**Windjamer** · 13 October 2019, 07:09 PM

As discussed in my thread "BBS in web," I added the club forum from Nabble, which is just what I wanted. I used the "Embed a website widget" from the Designs Gallery, but the encapsulated page does not show on my web page when published.

In order to make the Forum available to members, I just added a link, which works. However, I would like to know why the widget is not working as expected. Ideas?

Open up the Placeholder Body code and copy its content for us.

Thanks, Acorn. Here it is:

Does this work as expected Windjamer?

You were 10 minutes ahead of me, Egg. Just for confirmation: I did exactly the same and it works as expected.

Well that makes a change Chris, I normally cross post far to late

No, but the problem (again) is with the parallel "Mobile" variant. I think I can sort it out, but it will require too much time for this evening.

I take it that I should have created a "text box" to hold the placeholder code, instead of expecting the widget to be inserted like a bitmap. I'll get the hang of it, then forget when I need it again in a few months.

Oh, BTW, is there a reason you had me create a duplicate page instead of just using part of the "Contact" page?

Thanks for your help, Egg!

Non whatsoever, I just suggest you duplicate a page, & call it 'Blog'.

No, but the problem (again) is with the parallel "Mobile" variant.

What's your issue with the Mobile page exactly?

With you code unchanged, I have a Main and variant working. The Placeholder just needs to be thinner and taller.

Perhaps it is just your browser needing a kick with Ctrl+F5.

P.S. It was not obvious you had uploaded images of Main and Variant. I thought it was local and published.
