I was looking for a connectable page viewer web part to provide more
navigation possibilities in our WSS pages. I 've found an example on
http://wss.sharepointtips.com/pages/Useful%20Documents.aspx. I
believe it is written by Jim Duncan but does anyone know if he has
released the code as an example?

Or does anyone know how to connect the page viewer web part to a
'links' list?

Thanks in advance!

I can confirm that it was written by Jim Duncan.

He'll probably be along when the West Coast wakes up.

(He and I call the site wss.collutions.com as below - it has many names :))

Thanks for the quick answer!

I'll be at the West Coast in 2 weeks (TechEd) so I can track him down
and hunt for the connected page viewer if he doesn't answer by then.

I think it is just the Page Viewer Web Part.

I'm also pretty sure he's using the page viewer web part. I suppose
he inherited from the page viewer web part class to add the url
connection because it's not included in the default page viewer.

Looking at the html source it is an iFrame inserted into a LVWP or DVWP.
You add the list to the page twice. Create a connection between the parts
then replace the code in the destination list with the iFrame and set the
iFrame src={@FieldToUse}
The problem I find with Web Parts is getting the height right so I just hard
code the iFrame on the page and modify the Links list XSL in a DVWP to set
the target to the name of the iFrame.
See http://www.wssdemo.com/Pages/iFrame.aspx?menu=Demo's (the iFrame height
resizes with the page)
But I will build a demo of the top method after I get a few hours sleep...

Ian

Thanks for the reply! This could also solve our problem. I've tried
to inherit from the page viewer web part but it's sealed. I'll try
your suggested solution and see how far I get.

Kind regards,
Bart

Good news! I've written a custom page viewer web part which uses the
iFrame tag. It implements the ICellConsumer interface to receive the
URL from another web part. Tomorrow I'll check how I can resize the
iFrame dynamically as you suggested. Then we can maybe post it on a
website because I'm pretty sure other people want to use this instead
of the regular page viewer.

Regards,
Bart

I would guess it might be a bit too complicated "programming" for section IV
of the WSS FAQ site. Make it simple and I could give it space there or in
"Tutorials" depending on size.

Ian's site ?

It seems to me that your "corrected version" is in fact identical with the
wrong URL Jim gave first time around. So good try but no coconuts :)

Collutions Inc. has two "l"s so I guess the URL should be
http://dev.collutions.com/blog

Beta workspace: http://dev.collutions.com/beta
Direct download: http://dev.collutions.com/Beta/Downloads/1/cPageViewer.zip
Really long link that goes to the best place to go, but that will probably
break beacuse of wrapping:
