Webpage Rotator

Embed a webpage (or optionally a section of it) into another webpage. Optionally rotate between more then one page over a specified period of time, in minutes. Example: /Playground/WPRotatorSRC and /Playground/WPRotatorDST

Some example usages:

• rotating through entire stories on the homepage
• 'pasting' a calloutbox menu on subpages and only needing to maintain it on the parent page.

Optionally mark a section of a webpage to be consumed by the webpage rotator:

1. Add or edit a webpage
2. add a comment placeholder at the beginning AND end of the piece of the page you want
3. Edit the comments to be the name of the peice you're referencing, like 'menu'
   
   Ensure the comments are put around content that is well formed - opening and closing each of the xHTML tags - otherwise the browser may get confused and the content may not be of the style or location you were anticipating.

Example XML Code:

<p><!-- menu --></p>
<p>menu goes here</p>
<p><!-- menu --></p>

where <p>menu goes here</p> will be returned if the placeholder references /pagename:menu

To edit a comment:

• Double-click a comment tag
• or right-click and choose properties

To consume the content piece or an entire webpage of a PUBLISHED page:

1. add or edit the destination page.
2. Add the Webpage Rotator placeholder
3. Edit the custom attributes to reflect which webpages you want to be displayed, or which service/webpage:peicename where :piecename is optional but CASESensative, like servicename/webpagename:menu

page1 and page2 attributes are required, but can be the same values (canceling out the rotation part of the placeholder) and more pages can be added to the sequence; for example page3 and page4.

NOTE:The custom attributes must have a page 1 and each page should be consecutively numbered.

The rotation progresses down the list every x rotation minutes.

NOTE: If you are referencing a child of the home page, like home/contact, even though the page may be accessible in a browser by a brief URL like /contact (because the homepage children can be addressed more briefly if their name does not conflict with other service names), the webpage rotator REQUIRES the home/pagename to be present. Optionally include the preceding slash; therefore /home:peicename or home:piecename are both appropriate.

Only the webpage editable area will be consumed if the :peicename is omitted from the page reference.

If you wish to not use the rotation part of the placeholder, you can omit rotationminutes and other pages, and just fill in page1 custom attribute.
