Hi!
We were looking at something similar recently:
The Template and Model classes cannot directly impact the rendering of a page -
this has to be done in a template (JSP or Freemarker) or perhaps at the
Rendering level.
A simple solution for what you seem to need might be:
1. Write a Model class, which loads and parses the static HTML in its execute
method, and provides 2 accessor methods: getStaticHTMLStartOfPage() and
getStaticHTMLEndOfPage()
2. Assign this model class to a page template defintion, and write a freemarker
template for the page. The freemarker template can look something like this:
${model.staticHTMLStartOfPage}
...your content here
${model.staticHTMLEndOfPage}
That should do the trick. Problem is that each time the page is rendered,
you're making a request to another server - could cause performance troubles.
Also, if the remote server doesn't deliver the page, you can't render correctly.
You may want to consider a solution where you fetch the remote HTML "offline",
and cache it for later use. That would be more robust, and have better
performance, IMHO.

Betreff: [magnolia-user] Best practise integrating foreign HTML into a Magnolia
Template?
Hi Folks,
I have seen that there is a snippet module available for magnolia but it's very
new and not well documented (or I didn't found it)
My concern is: I have a URL with static HTML. Let's call it
http://fragment.partner.com/index.html. I have to fetch this HTML and modify
it. There are two markers in this HTML: [CONTENT_START] AND [CONTENT_END]. I
have to put my Content between these two markers.
What is the best practice?
My idea is: The model for my magnolia template gets the HTML page, parses to
[CONTENT_START], put my content there, delete both markers and send this html
to my JSP or Freemarker to display.
I think this is practicable but not the best way. Does anyone has suggestions
for me?
Cheers, Bao
