Anyone ever put a blogg into a brochure page?
Preferrably a free on that I don't have to keep updating but that links to a blog hosted else where.

Hi there

Maybe you could create a unique Act_BrochurePrimary.html template just for the 'Blog' page - and include all the code for the blog into that primary template.

I have used Blogger with Actinic (the server did not have "mysql" functionality for using a better option) in the past but not on a brochure page - you could simply set an <iframe> into a text only fragment to drag the content into your brochure page from a remote server

Done!

Works atreat if a little restrictive on the design side.

Thanks for the tip!

Steve - do you have a URL where it is in place?

[thingamibob]

Haven't got the IFrame bit to work but have link to a blogger page at

If you set the blogger hosting to your own server that would improve matters and you can also hack the template to remove the superflous blogger rubbish - that will then give a clean page to draw into an <iframe>

[thingamibob]

I would, but as you see the nature of the site in question is charitable.
One I've done to improve my Karma and not for personal monetry gain.
Hense that fact I will not be spending any money with Blogger:-)

Blogger is free - no money needed at all. In the setup you can change the hosting destination and the theme code to suit and still link back to blogger if the karma demands

Sorry to send the thread on a tangent here but is there a way you can use <Iframe> to include Act_Primary, Act_Primary_Checkout and Act_Order pages into another site?

I am simply looking for adding Actinic features into a none actinic site.

The Act_Templates disappear when compiled and loaded to the server ... you can drag in any page you want via an <iframe> but you would need to check the functionality of any scripts (search, add to cart etc) as they could possibly be killed - never tried it so not sure how they would behave
