i have a folder structure like:

  • static pages using markdown at: app/(static) with an mdx layout (compiles local markdown files)
  • a CMS folder at app/site/[slug] that renders cms pages (server-side, requires data fetching)
    and these all share a root layout that has a header.

i want to create a route at app/embed/:whatever that can render either the static page or the CMS page with a new root layout that doesn't have a header. i was able to achieve the CMS pages at app/embed/data/[slug]

i've tried creating a folder like app/embed/(...)(static) to handle the static pages but it hasn't worked. am i doing something wrong?

Hi @rugged coral. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it seems like you're on the right track with using the intercept from root convention ((...)folder) to handle the static pages. However, there might be some issues with your current setup.

Here are a few things you could check:

  1. Make sure that your folder structure is correct. The intercept from root convention should be used like this: app/embed/(...)static. This will intercept any route from the root that matches the static folder.

  2. Check if there are any issues with your static pages. One user mentioned that they had to create a default.tsx file to handle the case where the children slot in the layout file isn't matched with a page route. This was necessary when route interception was triggered.

  3. There might be some issues with dynamic routes. Some users have reported problems with intercepting dynamic routes. One workaround suggested was to use a catch-all route like [...catchAll]/page.tsx in the same folder as your interceptor.

  4. If you're still having issues, it might be helpful to look at some of the discussions on GitHub. For example, this issue (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/53170) discusses problems with intercepting routes and route groups, and this issue (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/48104) talks about problems with intercepting dynamic routes.

Remember that the intercept from root convention is used to intercept any route from the root that matches the specified folder. This means that it should intercept any route that matches the static folder, regardless of where that route is in your folder structure.

@sonic bronze i want to serve a different layout if the route is being served from an iframe. how can i do this?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

#

To serve a different layout based on whether the route is being served from an iframe, you would need to detect if the page is being loaded inside an iframe and then conditionally render the layout based on that.

However, the knowledge sources provided do not contain specific information or code examples on how to achieve this in Next.js.

In general, you can detect if a page is being loaded inside an iframe using JavaScript with window.self !== window.top. But how to apply this in the context of Next.js, especially when dealing with server-side rendering, is not covered in the provided sources.

For more specific guidance, you may want to refer to the Next.js documentation or community resources.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
