Best way to integrate an existing html doc Iframe or a Snippet

Ah, I see what you are saying. The problem is that HTTP_REFERER is an optional browser setting that can’t be relied upon. See for example the explanation provided on this page :

I wonder why you want to use a html file somewhere to fetch the data, instead of using MODX resources and load those with a simple snippet that checks the day... Your source resources could be unpublished so they cannot be viewed unless logged in on the manager so you wouldn’t have to check the referer.

Seems just so much more logical in this case.

You’re managing your site in MODX, so why bother your editors/weather gurus to upload html docs when they could just use a WYSIWYG editor in a resource?

I’d agree with Mark H. If you’ve got the ability to query for the info to create the html file in the first place, then you could avoid that file creation step. Unless that’s created for other reasons and you’re trying to re-purpose something that’s lying there anyway - and you’re trying to get something up and running quickly.

Thanks for the responses - I’m getting there very slowly - spent most of the day wrestling with CCS

Still have quite a bit to do (more CSS) and then I can start testing the various feeds and ditto / Jot etc

Thanks again

I’m using Xweather snippet for the weather... but this helps me with some other ideas with snippets/html



Feel free to post the whole solution here in one post so maybe others can use something...

Thanks for people’s help - now finished the site and it’s live with the live weather feed and streaming cam (from my house) over the sea with various amends to the functionality discussed above

Grats on the launch

You should add that site to the showcase imo
