FramedBlog
No longer actively developed. see the AJAXBlog page instead
ok, here goes the instructions of how to have bookmark capability with a framed wordpress page:
- move your wordpress installation into a folder (from here on out called wordpress/) and update the settings of wordpress to use the new location (If you can’t get into the wp-admin pages after the move, edit the wp_options table in mysql and change any instances of the old url to the new one. In my install that was only the very first option in that table.).
- create in the directory above wordpress/ a file called index.html which will be your frameset.
- Once you’ve finished adding the desired frame layout, add the following inside the <head></head> section:
<script src="wordpress/wp-admin/wordpress/wp-includes/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var wpdir = 'wordpress/';
var baseurl = 'http://www.thehoneymonster.net/';
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { currentdoc = window.location.href; idx = currentdoc.indexOf('#'); var loaddoc = wpdir; if ((idx > -1) && (idx != currentdoc.length)) { loaddoc += currentdoc.substring(idx+1); setTimeout(checkAddressBar, 1000); } mainframe.location.href = loaddoc; });function checkAddressBar() { idx = window.location.href.indexOf('#'); loaddoc = false; if ((idx > -1) && (idx != window.location.href.length)) { loaddoc = window.location.href.substring(idx+1); } var mainframe = document.getElementById('mainframe'); if ((loaddoc == '/') && ((mainframe.src == baseurl+wpdir) || mainframe..src == baseurl+wpdir+'/')) { setTimeout(checkAddressBar, 1000); return; }if (loaddoc && baseurl+wpdir+loaddoc != mainframe.src) { mainframe.src = baseurl+wpdir+loaddoc; } setTimeout(checkAddressBar, 1000); }function setlocation(location) { location = new String(location); if (!location.match(baseurl)) { if (location.match(/^((((ht)|f)tp[s]?):\/\/)|(mailto:)/)) { window.location.href = location; return; } } currentdoc = window.location.href; idx = currentdoc.indexOf("#"); if (idx > -1) { myself = currentdoc.substring(0,(idx)); } else { myself = currentdoc; } location = location.substring(myself.length + wpdir.length); if (!location) location = '/'; window.location.href = myself + '#' + location; } //]]> </script> - download and install this plugin (framedblog.zip) (a simple affair which will import the prototype.js library included with wordpress and send click event notifications to the “parent” frame, ie your frameset.
- navigate to your frame page and bask in the glory of bookmarkability!!
