Subject: How do I embed a Dokuwiki page in another web page but as plain text

I found some information on how to embed a page into another website such as Joomla with this syntax:

which removes the header and footer and inserts just the page. It works well except with my template (r7throot3) the text pushes out of its white box container. I can't work out how to correct that or to get rid of the template and just have white background and black text.

I don't know if this has been done before, but you could choose your template with a _GET parameter.
Somewhere in your conf/local.protected.php, add

$allowed_tpls = array( '', 'default', 'monobook' ); // maybe there is a DW function to detect available ones
if ( in_array( $_GET['tpl'], $allowed_tpls )) $conf['template'] = $_GET['tpl'];

Now appending &tpl=a_template will select it.

Leaving '' in the template conf item was not a good idea. DW defaults correctly anyway.
Better if you don't want to have css things missing:

$allowed_tpls = array( 'default', 'r7throot3' ); // maybe there is a DW function to detect available ones
if ( in_array( $_GET['tpl'], $allowed_tpls )) $conf['template'] = $_GET['tpl'];

Sorry, I didn't make my aim clearer. I meant how to embed a Dokuwiki page into any other html page in another non-Dokuwiki website, for example in a page on my Joomla site. I don't necessarily want to login or anyhting, just show a particular Dokuwiki page. I was hoping I could use something like the <embed> funtion that is usually used for video. As I said the iframe sort of works but I was hoping to find something neater - just the text on a white background for example. Wish I were a programmer! Or maybe I didn't undestand the replies? :huh:

I understood your goal. My piece of code will just help you to switch the DW template just for one request: the inclusion in your Joomla page. You wanted to have black text on white background, so:
1) add my piece of code in your local.protected.php
2) keep the default template in your tpl folder, and try your iframe trick appending &tpl=default at the end of the url of the page you want to embed.
I can remember someone who wanted to do the same, try to search on the forum again.

That would be me that did the embedding within a web site. Have a look at the following example..

The syntax is obvious and it relies on a bit of javascript to actually do the embedding.
