TOPIC:

I've gone through the forums, and it seems that all of the suggestions are outdated based on more recent updates.

I'd like for the updated DCP status for my club to appear on the custom page that I've set up. I've attempted the following link via iframe:

dashboards.toastmasters.org/ClubReport.aspx?id=00001653

If you copy/paste or click the link, it goes to the report. In iframe, it simply brings you to a Search Club window, and if I just put the link in by itself, it obviously just gives me a link to click on.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Kevin B

Hello there!

Get the link from the TI website and paste it in where you want it

Hi Linda,

Thank you, but perhaps I was not clear as to the desired results. As you can see from my original post, I already have the link and pasting the link simply gives you a link, which you would click to be sent to the TI site/DCP Report. I would like the report itself to actually appear on the custom page, and have it update accordingly. (Think along the lines of an embedded Google map; you actually see the map, not just a link).

Part of this is that you are apparently not recognizing that the Search Club window is actually what you want... the page is a responsive layout so it has shifted to accommodate the narrower window. If you scroll down in that window you will see your club's DCP results.

Here is what you can do to force the scrolling from the get-go... put a bookmark to an available ID in the URL reference. I found an element ID of globalnav that is close to the DCP results section. I found that the following should work for you (entered in Source View):
Notice how I reference the globalnav id in the url to get the auto scrolling down to the vicinity of the DCP results. You may want to fiddle with the height and width of the iframe a bit. However, this can also be edited in the iframe dialog in the wysiwyg view. (the globe icon)

Finding an id that you can reference like this is the trick for getting iframe'd docs to show up in the right spot from the start. To find a useful id that you can reference, you have to view the source HTML for the doc you want to put in the iframe, and look for an element having an id=..." attribute on it before and near the content you want to have show up. (A bit advanced, but doable.)

That did it, thank you!

I appreciate not just the solution, but a great explanation and direction.

If there is nothing else on your custom page and you simply want to see the DCP report from your menu, set up a "link only" type custom page. Simply paste the URL in the content and give the page a title, leaving all other boxes blank. Open up the "more" instruction at the top of any custom page for more information.

I did it on my club sites before I explained it to you.... It works exactly like Steve suggests if you put the link as an IFrame and give it a size. You will need to scroll to see it... It works

Linda, if you use the id globalnav as a bookmark like I mentioned above, it will automatically scroll down for you when the page loads.
