Thread: How can I embed my own aspx page inside a topic?

I have created a Google maps application as an aspx and I would like to have it display inside my website as a topic. So far the only way I have been able to get it to display is if I put it inside an <iframe> inside my topic page. The problem is that my google map page dynamically resizes and I either have to allow a scrollbar on the frame or let it be truncated. Is there a better way to get this to display inside the site?

Hi

Why not keep it as an .aspx page and use ASPDotNetStorefront for the skinning?

If you are on V9, this code model should work.

MyMaps.aspx:

Code:

<%@ Page Language="c#" Inherits="AspDotNetStorefront.mymaps" CodeFile="mymaps.aspx.cs" MasterPageFile="~/App_Templates/skin_1/template.master" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="PageContent">
	Your maps page elements here
</asp:Content>

MyMaps.aspx.cs:

Code:

using AspDotNetStorefrontCore;

namespace AspDotNetStorefront
{
    public partial class mymaps : SkinBase
    {
       // Your maps code here
    }
}

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty new to aspx programming and I've never done any custom coding for my website so I am pretty new to all of this.

If I build my aspx page using the example you gave and using the aspdotnetstorefront assemblies, what do I have to do to get the page to actually display? Am I not creating a topic at all? Do I just need to include the URL to my page in the menu and it will display inside the client area of the shopping cart automatically?

If you create a standalone page that inherits from the skin and all as webopius explained, then to display it all you have to do is link to it. You can put a link anywhere in your template and it will display on all pages.
