Using ?isdlg with pages

Hi Danail,

For your scenario, I have done the related test and find that ?IsDlg=1 can work for the SharePoint Online library or list pages. If I add it to the site page(e.g. the home page), it would get the message you mentioned above.

As the issue is related to the SharePoint Online site customization, we'd suggest you post the issue/question in our Technet forum which is dedicated to handling SharePoint customization related issues.

Thanks for your understanding.

What a peculiar answer.

First,  I don't even understand your comment about the home page. Of course you can use ?IsDlg=1 on an iframed page on a home page. Why would the home page act any differently than any other page?

Second, url queries like IsDlg are OOB functionality and should definitely be addressed here. If you don't understand how it works, don't push people to another forum - just don't answer and let someone answer who does understand.

hi danail,

based on my experience, the parameter “?isdlg=1” always works on web part pages and publishing pages. for wiki pages, it won’t work since they don’t have a page layout applied.

regarding the situation, if you’re not working on a wiki page, please share with us the type of page in your scenario.
you can upload a screenshot of the page by clicking use rich formatting just under the textbox, then select this icon to choose files.

hi,

i use the parameter on simple page.

so .. steps to reproduce:

1. gear icon > add a page > name it

2. save the page (even without content)

3. add ?isdlg=1 (or 0) in the url

4. observe the issue.

happens on all pages, happens in all site collections, happens in two tenants i have access to.

Hi Danail,

The pages you have added are Wiki pages, so the parameter “?IsDlg=1” doesn’t work on them.

Given the situation, I suggest you create a Web Part page, and add the Content Editor Web Part to display your content.

Meanwhile, you can find more information about different types of pages in SharePoint from the article below:

Ok,

I confirm that the content type of the "normal" page is Wiki page.

And using Web Part page for content type works with the parameter.

I still need to display the already created page.. can you suggest some workaround to display a page with content type "wiki page" without the navigation?   Even with custom code. The issue is that I should not modify the original

Thank you in advance,

Danail

Hi Danail,

For SharePoint customization related concerns, we suggest you post in our SharePoint customization forum to get professional help.

Meanwhile, I found a related thread in that forum for your reference:
Wiki Page without any Navigation - only content area

The user interface in O365 is a disaster: when you create a page as described there's no indication what type of page you're creating. So  the assumption that users know whether or not it's a wiki page is absurd. A properly designed web site platform would have one option to create a page and ask you to select what type of page you want (with a clear indication of the differences). It's not rocket science, just very basic ux.

To answer the question all Dlg does is apply "display:none" to the site wide master page elements. So identify the header, quick launch and footer elements and add some css to achieve the same effect.
