iframe-3When designing your site, you may have to display another webpage within a window on your website. The IFrame block adds functionality that allows you to accomplish this easily.

In this tutorial we will cover using the free Iframe addon in Concrete5, which is available in the Marketplace.



How to work with the iFrame Add-on:

  1. Install the free Iframe addon from the Concrete5 Marketplace. After installation, the IFrame block will be available for adding to your page. 
  2. Login to your Concrete5 Dashboard.
  3. Using the menu bar, navigate to the page you want to add the IFrame block to.
  4. Click the Edit button on the top left. Now when you roll your mouse over the page, editable areas will "light up".
  5. Click the area you want to add the Iframe to. In my tests I want it in the main body of the site, so I am selecting Add to Main

  8. Roll your mouse over the Editing button on the top left, and click the blue Publish My Edits button. You will now see the website displayed within the iFrame window on your Concrete5 website.
