I am a newbie to Ning so this is perhaps well known but I did not find any examples of this technique in my prelimenary searches.
I am building a Google Maps based mashup, actually several, and other Web APIs will ultimately be involved. Mostly the mashup effort is strightforward. Then comes the question "How do I insert a mashup inot Ning?"
I have found a simple technique which is to hang the mashup on another web site then invoke it within Ning inside of an IFRAMW within a text box. An exampleof this is shown at my test site: http://bobstestnet.ning.com/
I would like to know that this is working as it appears to me to be. Please test it.
It is now May 27, when I posted it was April 21. At that
date I was using this for testing a Google Map mashup
which I have been working on.
I forgot all about this post, which had no replies till now.
I have taken the IFRAME test down for now. I am busy with
another project.
I would like to see others experiment with using the IFRAME. It is
a very powerful technique that seems not to have been much
discussed in these forums.
