Display the content of a post or page without any header, sidebar and footer. * 1. Importing the content from an external web site * 1. Importing an internal content of the wordpress site * 1. A few other deprecated functionalities #### 1. Displaying a post or page without any header, sidebar and footer In order to render the raw content of a post or page without any header, sidebar and footer use the link: ``` http://#mywordpressadress?httpsyndication&p=#post_or_page_id&title=#1_or_0 ``` where: * `#mywordpressadress` is the wordpress web site adress. * `#post_or_page_id` is the post or page id (you can read the post id in the http link when you edit the post). * `#1_or_0` defines whether the post title (enclosed in a `

` HTML tag) is displayed( default is `1`, i.e., true). _Remarks:_ * In this text all words prefixed by `#`, e.g., `#tag` or `#id` correspond to a variable, e.g., `#tag` means any tag name or `#id` means an ID label. * The post content is exported after filtering. #### 2. Importing the content from an external web site In order to import an external a post or page contents in another post or page, use the following shortcode: ``` [import url="#external_resource_location" ] ``` where: * `#external_resource_location` is the external web site http location. Inside the `[import ..]` shortcode, the following options allows to select and adjust the content to import: * Content selection: - `body=1` : in order to only import the `..` part of the `....` page. - `tag_id=#id` : only extract the content of the 1st tag of the given id, i. e. the `<#tag id="#id">..` part, where `#tag` is any tag (e.g., `div`,` span`, ..). - `tag_class=#class` : only extract the content of the 1st tag of the given class, i.e. the `<#tag class="#class">..` part, where `#tag` is any tag (e.g., `div`, `span`, ..); the value `#class` can be a regex to deal with multiple defined classes. - `tag_name=#name` : only extract the content of all tags of the given name, i.e. the `<#name ..>..` part (for code safety only 100 tags can be extracted). * Content filtering: - `noscript=1` : in order to delete all `..` parts, avoiding any active JavaScript running from the imported HTML. - `raw_href=1` : in order to provide raw href values, instead of properly relocating relative href in the source HTML code, as done by default. - `mediawiki=1` : adds the `?printable=yes&action=render` query to the URL, in order to properly syndicate mediawiki sites. - `style=#style` or `class=#class` allows to encapsulate the content in a `< div .` with customized class and/or style attribute. _Example_ : * `[import url="http://localhost/wordpress/?cat=4687" tag_id="content" style="width: 100%"]` allows to import a category rendering with another page. _How can i know with __id_, _tag_ or _class_ to select? * Display the page you want to import and consider the part of the page you want to select * Use the right-button to select _Inspect_ or _Inspect Element_ in the context menu, that will show the page source at the choosen position * Look around to find the _ Plugins -> Add new` page choose `upload plugin in .zip format via this page` 3.
