    Default Embeding external data in a template

    Hi

    I've created a file that is pulling in data from an external website and this is showing as a .aspx file within our website domain.

    My question is how can I contain this within a StoreFront template?

    Hi

    We had a similar requirement for one of our clients who wanted to integrate their Wordpress blog into the home page of their ASPDotNetStorefront site.

    In this case, we wrote a simple User Control (.ascx file) and then registered and called it from within the template.

    The user control has a single Page_Load() method that connects to the external data source, brings back the content and renders it as HTML.

    The result works well and creates a single store home page showing both product information and the latest news items and thumbnail images from the blog
