I ended up creating a plug-in. Works great!

Just following up on this old post.

There's no easy automatic way, you'd have to wrap your 3rd party script in some CMSB code.  Possible, but takes a few more steps and testing.

I think where I was going with this is that if someone accessed the frame directly (not through CMSB) could I use CMSB's password to protect it? I don't want anyone to access it without a password. That might be what you just said - not possible :-)

You can control who can see the menu link or click on it through the CMS.  To do that, look under: Accounts > Section Access

But because the iframe URL is completely independent, if someone knew how to save it and accessed it directly, the CMS couldn't prevent them from doing that.

Let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks!

I'm using the inline frame option. Can this external page automatically leverage or inherit the CMS Builder admin's current login session for password protection? Or does it require its own separate authentication mechanism?

Essentially, can I avoid a second login for the page displayed within the iframe if the user is already logged into the main CMSB admin?

Thanks!

The other way to do it is to create a plugin. 

You can try activating the Example Plugin in the plugins section for an example.  You can combine that with a link menubar item to link to the plugin page.

Anything is possible, it just depends on what you want to do.

One simple way is to add a menu link that displays a page with an iframe.  Here's how: 

• CMS Setup > Database Editor > Add New Editor...
  • Select: Menu Type > Advanced > Text Link
• Then edit that menu and change: 
  • Open link in: inline iframe
  • Link URL: /path/to/your/form.php

Hope that helps!  Let me know any questions.

Thanks!
