Using Iframes [TIP]

[Kiwitje]

Hmmm, my Iframes doesn't autoresize I Iframed my Coppermine gallery, but when opening, the sizes aint any good You have to scroll. What can I do about it?!

Try this

in the code do u see this part?

var mAdjust=0

its right near the top - a bit after the credits for the script

set it to something like 4 or 10 or 20 - whichever one solves ur problem

goddamn, you're the best Thanks!

hhmm try setting it really high

on one of mine i had to set it to 54 to get it working

[Lesmond]

I have set from 4 to 100 but it still stays the same

* Lesmond goes to try 1000

[akulion]

loool

whats the page ur using?

[Lesmond]

This one
I have it in a custom action, but I have my Gallery in that too using the same script and that works fine

[akulion]

yup i think we have hit a limitation on the script

a lot of iframe scripts using Ajax or js seem to not work with 'externally based' sites (sites not on your own domain) - why? something to do with security or something, dont know exactly

the best option for you is to use a normal iframe in this case:

Code: [Select]

<iframe name="I3" src="http://astore.amazon.co.uk/lesmondsplace-21/202-8298719-1476605?%5Fencoding=UTF8&node=1" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" height="1050" width="100%"></iframe>

the above code will show ur page properly sized :up:

How do I get the content of the iframe to use the current theme?

[akulion]

u cant by default since the frame is getting a page which is not part of the SMF or TP

but u can try and include the CSS for the theme i the page code manually and it wil somewhat resemble the theme as long as the same ID's are used

How would you add this to a php file?  I tried using it to change the template files I use to show a variety of pages I have that I use an iframe but I keep getting parse errors because the php in there confuses some of the javascript with php code and errors out.  I have put it within an echo tag (basically just replaced the iframe line with this code...

Code: [Select]

        echo '<iframe width="100%" height="1200" src="http://dragontalk.net/coppermine/"></iframe>';

that is the line i was replacing...thanks in advance for any help.

try this it may work...

First manually edit the code and REPLACE ALL " (double quotes) with ' (single quotes)

Then use this echo statement:

echo " all the code here ";

just put all the code where it says above

You are awesome Akul!  That worked perfectly!  I had thought about doing that, but I wasn't sure if you could use quotes to encase an echo statement

Thanks a bunch!
