displaying outside website within content pane.

Hi, I am new to Kentico and this forum so I'm not sure I am asking the question in the right place (let me know).
Anyway, we just purchased an unlimited site license and am just getting started so there is a lot I need to learn, but one of the first tasks I need to do is to setup a site that has a menu of applications. When one of the menu items is selected it redirects the content pane to display a web application on a separate server.

So for a really simple example, how would I setup a menu item that when clicked, redirects the content pane to something like google.com and displays the google search engine in the content pane.

I am fairly certain that when we were given a demo this spring, this feature was demonstrated to us, but now I am not sure how to do it.

Thanks in advance,

RE:displaying outside website within content pane.

Hi,

You can ask here in forums or also send an email to support (at) kentico.com. Email support is guaranteed, the forums are also suitable for Free edition users and give space for discussion and cooperation among users.

Regarding the redirection:

If you need to redirect whole page, this can be set up in CMSDesk in item's Properties / Menu / Menu action - URL redirection. However this redirects whole browser to the specified target url.
If you want to set the source url of some iframe (I suppose you mean this with "content pane"), you could use the Menu action - "Javascript command"

Many articles over internet articles or forums describe updating of iframe source url, e.g. Loading new documents into iframes.

If your iframe has ID="myFrame", the command - using the frames array method - could look like:

window.frames["myFrame"].location = "http://www.google.com";

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Zdenek C.
