Create link to webpage and display in Main Content Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi there

Now that we're not using frames in SLX7.2 how do you create a link and display it in a main content of a page?

I assume this is done with an IFrame but I am not sure how to implement this without using an IFrame as part of a quick form related to an entity.

(This is basically so I can display BO Info view in the main content and not open it in a seperate window)

A concept of ASP.NET 2.0 that the SLX web client uses is Master pages. The look and feel, as well as things like the toolbar/navbar, etc are all done in the master page. Any pages within the site use this master page to give it the client look. If you create a new page in the AA it will have all this in place for you already.

What you'll want to to is create a new page within the site. When you right-click on pages under a portal in AA, you get three page choices. Entity page and MainView page have context to a specific entity - which you don't want. A portal page is just a free standing page that you can do whatever you want with it. You'll create ASP.NET UserControls that display whatever back office data you need and then add them into the SmartParts section of the portal (in it's Support Files). Then you can just add these smartparts (your standard ASP.NET UserControls you added to the portal) to your new page just as you would for adding any smartparts to a page in AA.

Make sense?

Yes, that helps a lot. I was thinking I would have to go along that route so you have pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Tony
