Re: have posts on external ( same domain) web page

I did include the form as you suggested
there is a change_log ‘page’ . I may have created it before joining the forum. Would that page needed to be removed ?

Not necessarily. When you say ‘page’ do you mean the ones you create in >presentation>pages?

Re: have posts on external ( same domain) web page

correct it is in >presentation>pages.

This weekend I will dig into TXP Documents and forum to glean what I can make sense of tags and the way they are done.

Your help is always appreciated

Re: have posts on external ( same domain) web page

You’re nearly there: Yiannis (colak) diagnosed it correctly above. The key bit is that ?f=form_name means render the output of that form (as opposed to a page).

You need to go to:

  • Go to the Presentation › Forms panel.
  • Click New form
  • Under Form name put changes_log.
  • Set Form type to Miscellaneous in the dropdown.
  • Paste you sample code (that Yiannis posted above)
  • Click Save.

Try visiting: http://www.atu1724.com/blog/?f=changes_log and you should see the output. It will look a bit basic because it’s not embedded in a page with styling etc. Your other php file should then also be able to bring it in.

Jakob:
the instructions in your post above are already present.

visiting http://www.atu1724.com/blog/?f=changes_log interestingly does not work
however
https://www.atu1724.com/blog/updates/
article content is visible

also the php code <?php echo file_get_contents(‘https://www.atu1724.com/blog/updates/’); ?>
in the following web address below does get the contents from the blogs.

One other note about TXP I have not seen where I can delete pages or forms if I need to

You can delete unused pages by clicking the ‘x’ alongside them from the Presentation > Pages panel. If they’re in use then they can’t be deleted.

Forms can be deleted by using the checkboxes down the left hand side of the Presentation > Forms panel to select the ones you want to remove. Then click the ‘With selected…’ dropdown beneath the list, and choose ‘Delete’.

Hi David,

Apologies for being persistent. Could you copy paste here, exactly what you have in your changes_log form?

My apologies. I tried it out and you are right. It seems there is one further piece to the puzzle to get it working:

  • Visit Admin › Preferences and then Admin on the left and switch Advanced options to on at the bottom. Click “Save”.
  • Now reopen the Admin › Preferences page and switch to Advanced options on the left.
  • In the box called Custom form template types, add the following to the box and click “Save”.
[output]
mediatype="text/html"
  • Now visit Presentation › Forms and find your changes_log form.
  • At the dropdown at the top, set it to “Output (text/html)”.
  • Click “Save”.

Now when you visit http://www.atu1724.com/blog/?f=changes_log you should see output.

If not, check that you have articles in the updates section, and that the form name you are using and the one specified with ?f= match.
