Hi, we have a library search page which will search all our library resources.
What I want to do is simply load that page (which is really just a search box) into a module for users to click in.
What i cannot find is what type of module to use, is there a simple way to do this - just load a web page into a module (we have the community system) and using 9.1 SP8
thanks
Dave,
What you want to create is a "URL" type module, which does exactly what you describe (displays a web page within the module).

Thanks Mike, i tried that but it doesnt seem to work.
the URL I am using is
http://new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?embed=true&sadvanced=true&slabel=Library%20Search%20Beta
When I paste that into the contents of URL module, previewing it shows nothing.
Thanks
Dave
When try to go to that URL with my browser, it tries to redirect me through a single-signon screen with Javascript at https://dc03vg0022eu.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/pds?func=sso&calling_system=primo&url=http://new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com:80/primo_library/libweb/action/login.do?afterPDS=true&vid=NCL_V1&dscnt=1&targetURL=http://new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?dscnt=0&slabel=Library+Search+Beta&sadvanced=true&dstmp=1335536433344&embed=true before taking me to the search window, and if Javascript can't run (I have NoScript on my browser) then I get stuck at a white screen.So, the URL module can display static HTML that it's retrieved from the remote server, but it can't process dynamic Javascript redirects, apparently.Mike
If you're just wanting a primo search box the following form should do:
<form action=" http://new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do" method="get" onsubmit=" window.open(' http://new-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?'+$(this).serialize()); return false; "> <input onfocus="this.value='';" type="text" name="vl(freeText0)" value="Search Primo" size="15" style="padding-top:0.09em"> <input type="hidden" name="dscnt" value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="frbg" value=""> <input type="submit" name="go" value="Go"> <input type="hidden" name="scp.spcs" value="scope:(NCL_LMS),scope:(NCL_SFX),scope:(NCL_ML),scope:(NCL),scope:(NCL_EPR)"> <input type="hidden" name="tab" value="local"> <input type="hidden" name="srt" value="rank"> <input type="hidden" name="ct" value="search"> <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="Basic"> <input type="hidden" name="dum" value="true"> <input type="hidden" name="indx" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="fn" value="search"> <input type="hidden" name="vid" value="NCL_V1"> </form>
