[FM Discuss] getting iframe suitable pages from FLOSS Manuals

[Tomi Toivio]

Seems like Bookipublisher data/remix/embed.js is pointing at a wrong address.

Line 80 is like "elems += '<li style="'+topicStyle+'"><a
style="'+linkStyle+'" target="flossframe"
href="http://localhost/bookipublisher/booki/'+page[0]+'/'+page[1]+'?skin='+_config["skin"]+'">'+page[2]+'</a>';"
so that "localhost" should be something like "en.flossmanuals.net".

And the embed code that Remix offers has addresses for scripts that
are not going to work outside of FM domain:

<script type="text/javascript" src="_templates/jquery/js/jquery-1.6.1.min.js">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data/remix/embed.js">

Probably doesn't make much sense to debug it on a mailing list? Maybe
I should try to fix this on the Finnish site.

If you can use PHP you could use curl to scrape the div like this, but
I don't know if this would be possible on the platform they are using:

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird-workbook/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$fmcurl = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$start=strpos($fmcurl, "<div id=\"main-content\">");
$end=strpos($fmcurl, "</div>",$start);
$fmdivcontents = substr($fmcurl,$start,$end-$start);
echo $fmdivcontents;
echo "</div>";
?>
