I presume you need the actual frameset generated by Turbine - since if its fixed, you
can use static html to generate the frameset and then refer to Turbine pages inside it.
What I did was to define a specific layout for frames, or one that doesn't define a
<body> tag - as this invalidates the frameset.
public void doBuild( RunData data ) throws Exception
{
// Now execute the Screen portion of the page
ConcreteElement screen = ScreenLoader.getInstance().eval ( data,
data.getScreen() );
if (screen != null)
data.getPage().getHtml().addElement( screen );
// The screen should have attempted to set a Title
// for itself, otherwise, a default title is set
data.getPage().getTitle()
.addElement( data.getTitle() );
// need to remove the body part to get the frame registered
data.getPage().getHtml()
.removeElementFromRegistry(
"body" );
}
Then in the screen, I define the frameset, like this
public ConcreteElement doBuild(RunData data) throws Exception
{
FrameSet frameSet = new FrameSet();
frameSet.setRows("20%,*");
frameSet.addAttribute("border","0");
data.setTitle(Lookup.getString("SITENAME"));
String frameMain = data.getParameters().getString("frame");
DynamicURI userMainUri = new DynamicURI( data, USER_LIST_ADS );
if ( frameMain == null)
userMainUri = new DynamicURI( data, USER_LIST_ADS );
else
{
userMainUri = new DynamicURI( data, frameMain );
String frameAction = data.getParameters().getString("frameAction");
if ( frameAction != null) userMainUri.setAction( frameAction );
// should be able to just re-append the existing path - but can't work out how
// so just add the ones we need
userMainUri.addPathInfo("ValidationKey",data.getParameters().getString("ValidationKey"));
userMainUri.addPathInfo("UserName",data.getParameters().getString("UserName"));
}
// Now setup the frames
frameSet.addElement(
new Frame()
.setSrc("/Top.html").setName("top")
.addAttribute("scrolling","no")
);
frameSet.addElement(
new Frame()
.setSrc(userMainUri.toString() ).setName("bottom")
.addAttribute("scrolling","auto")
);
return frameSet;
}
public String getLayout(RunData data)
{
return "FramesLayout";
}
I was wondering whether the FramesLayout/a generic/template version of the screen
should in the core Turbine?
Hope this helps,
Chris
