Overview

Control in a dynamic page

The "Internal Page" control is used to include a page (and its code) in a control of another page.
At runtime, the page to merge ("Internal Page") will be dynamically merged with the host page.
The "Internal page" control enables you to dynamically share the same section of the interface in one or more sites. The page to merge (internal page) can also come from a component.
Warning: Do not confuse "Internal Page control" and "Internal page": the "Internal Page" control is a type of control, and the "Internal page" is a type of page..
Creating an internal page and associating it with a control

Create an internal page

To create an internal page:
  1. Click in the quick access buttons. In the window that appears, click "Page" then "Page". The page creation wizard starts.
  2. Click "Internal Page" and select "Blank".
  3. Validate to create the internal page.
An internal page corresponds to a specific type of page. The internal page contains no border, no title bar and no background image. It is designed to be displayed in an "Internal Page" type field.
This type of page is also called "Source page".

Creating an "Internal page" control

To create an "Internal page" control:
  1. On the "Creation" tab, in the "Containers" group, click "Internal page".
  2. In the target page, click at the desired location to create the control. The control appears in the editor.
To view the characteristics of the control, select "Description" in the context menu. This allows you to select the internal page that will be displayed in the "internal page" field when the target page is initialized.
Remarks

Differences between an Internal Page control and a page template

  • Using an "Internal page" control is recommended for teamwork. Modifying an internal page does not cause all the pages that use it to refresh (unlike templates).
  • Using an "Internal page" control is recommended if the controls to display in the target page must be grouped. The templates are used to define the page outline. With the templates, the controls found in the template can be used anywhere in the page.

Limitations

  • No internal page coming from a component can be used in a static page. Only the internal pages of the project are allowed.
  • PHP The same internal page cannot be used twice in the same page.

Refactoring

WEBDEV allows you to automatically create an internal page and an Internal Page control from a selection of controls.
  1. Select the controls that must be used in the internal page.
  2. On the "Modification" tab, in the "Transformations" group, expand "Refactoring and swapping" and select "Create an internal page from the selection".

Creating an internal page from a page and vice versa

WEBDEV allows you to create an internal page from a page and vice versa.
To create an internal page from the current page, go to the "Home" tab, "General" group, expand "Save" and select "Save page as an internal page".
To create a page from the current internal page, go to the "Home" tab, "General" group, expand "Save" and select "Save internal page as a page".
