…Use Gateway Pages

A gateway page is a page that recieves another page and displays it within e.g. some sort of frame work. Gateway pages are only used in special cases, for example when all html pages should be placed within a certain div or iframe, or if xml pages or frames are used.

When an editor clicks on a page in the Page Structure, Consolo composes an URL by combining the http root, the gateway page and the selected file on Consolo’s PageKey-format. It can look like this:

http://www.mycompany.com/viewPage.asp?file=myfolder/mypage.html

 

You design the gateway pages the way you want for them to work. Consolo only sends the file to the page, then you can modify the information any way you wish.

There are three types of gateway pages.

Gateway For Pages

Gateway for pages can be used freely. It is normally used when all pages should be displayed in a div or iframe within another page.

This gateway type has an extra alternative, Pages without gateway, in the configuration. Here you can define one or more pages that should not be displayed through this gateway. Multiple pages are separated with | pipe.

An example of a site that uses Gateway for pages is http://www.springmobil.se/. This web site also uses Gateway for frames.

Gateway For XML Files

Recieves an xml page which is then analyzed and displayed. This can be used for different kinds of archives, and for Flash®-based web sites. Specific information on this is found in the section XML-Based Pages »

Gateway For Frames

Used if the web site uses frames. When a page is displayed, Consolo will first look for a frame with the name which have been set for the value Frame in the configuration. If the frame can’t be found, the page is sent via a pre-defined frame gateway. Specific information on this is found in the section
