WrapURL Plugin Available

I wanted to just wrap an extsting page on my server in an iFrame to be displayed in the Article area of the page. As a convenience, I am making the WrapURL plugin^[?] I created avaible here as a download.

I posted about it on the s9y forum in this post. To quote from there:

So I took the code from the static page event plugin, and acked it to be an external page wrapper.

The width problem had to do with CSS stuff, but the solution I found was to put the iframe in a table.

Here is a sample "wrapped" page http://www.silent9.com/blog/pages/load.html^[?]

that points to http://www.silent9.com/stats/system/load.html

The only problem with this has to do with the height attribute not existing in tables and height = 100% cascading up to parrent elements all the way to the body and html elements, and CSS stuff that is way over my head. I don't even know php, just doing cut and paste. There were also some javascript solutions I saw on the web but these were considered "bad".

So the configuration interface provides a field to manually enter the height of the iframe, and you have to tweak it to fit the content.

Hope no-one is insulted by this It meets my needs, so I'm using it.

A zip of the file can be downloaded here serendipity_event_wrapURL.zip. Simply extract the php file into a directory of the same name into your plugin folder and and use the "Add New Plugin" option to create the link. It was built using the old static page plugin as a template, so if you are familiar with those options you should have no problems using this one.
