Modules: Wrapper

Description¶

The Wrapper module type allows you to display an external website in a module. The functionality is the same to that of the iFrame Wrapper you can add as a menu item. If the page to which the wrapper is linked is larger than the frame, vertical and horizontal scroll bars will be displayed.

Common Elements¶

Some elements of this page are covered in separate Help articles:
