Using Kentico Masterpage & Stylesheets outside KEntico (API)

What I would do is simply copy and paste the masterpage HTML in your content tree into your asp.net website that isn't Kentico. Then you can always reference the stylesheet in the other site in your site by simply providing the full URL <link href="//www.mywebsite.com/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx?stylesheetname=YourSiteCodeName" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

Thanks Brenden, But if the customer changes the layout by adding new sections, I was hoping to have that all work automatically, so a stylesheet alone wouldnt be enough. As a last resort, I was thinking of using iframes, but I was hoping there would be a more elegant solution

Are you talking about only the master page as your original question states or all the page templates? If only the master page, how often does one change their master layout? Copy and paste would work well in my opinion. If all the page templates and if you're using Portal development, I'd suggest just creating another site to support that site. If you weigh the amount of time you'd be writing code already written by Kentico vs. implementing a new site, I bet you'd spend more time writing code.

I don't believe iframes will get you the desired effect you're looking for.

Hi Bill,

Im not sure what exactly are you trying to achieve with this. Say you have a Kentico site and some different site which does not use Kentico, right? What do you want the non-Kentico site to work like? If you want to share javascripts/css files than use what Brenden has offered. If you want to get News from Kentico then use REST services to get the content from Kentico.

I-frames would just simply load your Kentico site into non-Kentico site, I dont think this is what you are looking for.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
