About:

The IFRAME tag is a powerful tag that lets you embed any webpage in any other webpage. It is used all over in places you'd never expect like "Like Buttons" and even in vBulletin's Human Verify templates.

This mod is designed to provide the admin with one large IFRAME on a vBulletin powered page that the admin can easily assign and setup via the Admin CP.

This will allow admins to provide a familiar and local interface for external content.

PLEASE BE AWARE NOT ALL WEBSITES "ALLOW" YOU TO FRAME THEM. Please read the site's "Terms of Service" before you place their content into an IFRAME on your page. Some sites specifically forbid this, though it is mostly through the "honor system." Very few use JavaScript code that can detect them being framed and "break out" of them automatically. Still, please do your due diligence before framing anyone else's content. There a number of sites you are allowed to frame such as the photo editor in the demo links (a popular choice), usually any scientific/government sites like weather maps, forecasts, or NASA sites. Wikimedia/Wikipedia allow for framing as well.

This mod also allows you to choose if you want to link to each or any of the IFRAME pages via the "Quick Links" drop-down forum menu. However, this mod is intended to create the FRAME pages- linking to them in a better way is up to you. May I suggest a (Free) Qapla.com ExQlusive mod : Navbar Buttons Builder by BOP5 (http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread.php/181-Navbar-Buttons-Builder-for-VB4-by-BOP5) - For easy inclusion of IFRAME links in the navbar or drop-down lists.

You must give each IFRAMEr page a title, a navbits title, and an optional extended description. Each of these options may be entered directly into the IFRAMEr manager OR can instead be created as phrases to allow translation to multiple languages for multi-language sites. In the latter case you specify the "use phrases" and enter the phrase name in the settings box instead. A convenient link is included to the Phrase Manager pre-loaded to show your custom IFRAMEr phrases (if any.)

Finally the mod also allows you to choose which usergroups can see each IFRAME link and page. By default all usergroups can see each IFRAME page, but you can restrict it to specific groups or member's only (preventing guest access.)

Very interesting... This is actually extremely useful. Will have to splurge for the gold version!

Thanx!!!

[thecore762]

Awesome mod! Will start using it ASAP :)

[BadgerDog]

Installed with thanks ... :)

How do you handle web sites that use a separate panel on the left side to navigate? Clicking on a link in those nav panels seems to take the site out of the iFrame mod and into a very direct mode.

Thanks .. :)

Regards,
Doug

[BirdOPrey5]

BadgerDog,

I'm afraid there is nothing to do for those sites- they were never designed to be in FRAMEs and you can't do anything to force it.

[Hostboard]

Would it be possible to have the iframe/links appear in only select forums? This way a forum about product X could show links for only that item, while the forum for product Y would only see their links?

[CaneInsider]

How safe is this mod? Typically iFrames are very dangerous to use correct?

[BirdOPrey5]

Well anything pretty much is possible but I don't intend to add that feature- the quick links were an afterthought - just something so people could have some links out of the box. My intent was for users to manage links themselves using either a proper link manager or their own template edits- in either of those cases control over specific forums would/should be easy.

How safe is this mod? Typically iFrames are very dangerous to use correct?

The mod is as safe as the IFRAMEs you link to. Do not link to untrusted sources and there shouldn't be a problem.

The mod does have an option to view the IFRAMEs in security mode but that is something only Internet Explorer supports so it is of little practical value.

[BirdOPrey5]

Updated to Version 1.1

Added option to use "Absolute" URLs for Links in Quick Links. These are only necessary if your blogs or CMS (or 3rd party CMS) is in a different directory than your main forums. Using Absolute URLs will prevent file-not-found errors when clicking on the links from outside the forum directory.

[BadgerDog]

Would you be willing to add the ability to add a new drop down menu next to "Quick Links" say "External Links" where these would appear?

[Brandon Sheley]

iFrames :(

thanks for the share

[CaneInsider]

How do the advertisements work with iFrames? If I use this on my site and display another sites page, do their advertisements display and do they receive a "Page View" or do I, or do we both get a page view?

[BirdOPrey5]

I will try. Not sure how difficult that might be right now.

iFrames :(

thanks for the share

Why so sad?

How do the advertisements work with iFrames? If I use this on my site and display another sites page, do their advertisements display and do they receive a "Page View" or do I, or do we both get a page view?

If there are ads on the framed page then when someone views it from the iframe they count as page-views to the site the from originates from. You get no credit or anything from what is in the iframe- it is exactly like if the user happens to have another tab open with the iframe content.

You should be weary about linking to sites with their own ads, if you show 2 google adsense ads, and the site you linked to shows 2 google ads, you would be in violation of adsense terms for example that limit it to 3 ads per page. I've never seen anyone punished by google for occasional use like with this mod but people who purposely use frames to get around the ad limit have been punished.

[dmm2020]

Also in addition to what BirdofPrey5 says, Iframes also violate Google Adsense TOS, so you do want to be careful there. It's difficult to track true views in iframes, plus iframes tend to inflate views so many venues are outlawing them via their TOS. I got a warning on one of my websites where I had Adense in Iframe based rotator scripts. It was actually inflating the views, so I removed all ads out of iframe rotators and used a different mod. You might get a warning if Google detects ads in iframes, but typically they give you time to fix it.

My recommendation if you include webpages from another website using this mod is it be a vanilla page free of ads and just a single column template.

Ok, thanks. But this would be perfect for an online store or something along those lines...

[CaneInsider]

Ok, I tried to install the product and half of it did install. I see the options in the CP>Options to turn the iFrames plugin on. But there is no IFRAMES CP anywhere else to add the iframe data?

You need to upload the files, in particular the .xml file- it needs to be uploaded and in the correct location to create the IFRAMES CP menu system.

The please Mark as Installed. :)

[nubbyless]

is there away to center the frame in other words the site im displaying in frame is wider then my template i can expand frame to fit site but then it is pushed off to the right see link

Where do I install them? The root file or through the plugings manager?

[BirdOPrey5]

The files in the UPLOAD directory get uploaded to the forum root. They are already in the correct folders so if you upload everything in UPLOAD to the forum root (the folder with forumdisplay.php) everything will go into the correct location.

The product .xml file gets imported via the the product manager. The product .xml file is the one NOT inside the "upload" folder.

Excuse my ignorance but where is the Forum root? I uploaded the folder named "IFRAMEr by BOP5 FREE" to /public_html/IFRAMEr by BOP5 FREE and nothing happened. Should I upload the folder named "UPLOAD" or just the two files inside the UPLOAD folder?

[BirdOPrey5]

Forum Root is the folder on your FTP Server that contains the following files:
showthread.php
forumdisplay.php
ajax.php

and quite a few others.

You do not upload the entire "IFRAMEr by BOP5 FREE" folder.

In your FTP program browse to the "upload" folder on the left side and the forum root directory on the right side.

So on the left side of your FTP program you will see the following list:
admincp (folder)
includes (folder)
iframer3.php
iframer4.php

Highlight them all and hit the "upload" button to copy them all to the forum root.

Once that is complete you will need to go to your Admin CP -> Products & Plugins -> Add / Import Product.

Then use the "Choose File" button to browse to and select the product-bop5iframer5 FREE.xml file.

Ignore the other blank fields on the page and just click the "Import" button.

The product should import and after the page refreshes you should see the "IFRAMEr CP" menu on the side menu of Admin CP, near the top but not the very top.

Thank you so much for your time. Got it figured out. Was digging to far down in my forum root. LOVE THIS MOD! INSTALLED.

[CaneInsider]

Is there a way to auto size the site you are trying to view so it fits in the frame? Mainly I am seeing that a site I want to use is creating a horizontal scroll bar although I have the Width of IFRAME set to 100%

[BirdOPrey5]

Cane,

If you have width set to 100% and still size the horizontal scrollbar it means that the page you have in the iframe is natively wider than the available width you have on your page.

It is likely someone with a higher resolution screen won't see the scrollbar.

You could try using a set width instead of a percentage but quite frankly it will look ugly and possibly put a horizontal scrollbar on your site instead.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Will This work on 4.2 Joe???

Handy mod to have

[BirdOPrey5]

It will work aside from the quick links- You can use the nav manager to make your own links now.

I have a fix for the Quick Links too, just haven't put it into this free version yet since it didn't seem necessary with the new nav manager.

[Mr_Running]

Fantastic :)
May we have an option to change the iframer#.php to a different name.

Example
name#.php

[BirdOPrey5]

That is already an option but only in the Gold version.

[victorvu]

Hi BOP5:

I just purchased the GOLD and have a few questions on this IFRAME. Using it with Forum, I have no issue, but using with Blog and CMS I am confusing on this. Show me how to use IFRAME with CMS and BLOG. Thanks.

Victor:up:

[BirdOPrey5]

If you mean you need to create a link to the IFRAME pages from the CMS or the Blog then you will need to create those links yourself in the Navigation Manager in Admin CP.

Are you using vBulletin 4.2.0?

[victorvu]

BOP5:

Yes. I installed 4.2.

Give me the example of the links to CMS and Blog. Thanks.

Victor

[BirdOPrey5]

To add a direct link-

Go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Navigation Manager -> click on the drop down menu for Blogs (Add Link)

Now fill it out like this...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=139530&stc=1&d=1341430655

From the Product list choose "IFRAMER" mod.

Give it a title

The Target URL will look something like what is there... you can get it by going to actual iframer page in your browser and copying the last part of the URL.

Save it and the link will appear along with the other links on the sub-bar.


If you prefer to make a drop down menu with multiple links then start by going to Go to Admin CP -> Settings -> Navigation Manager -> click on the drop down menu for Blogs (Add Menu)

Create a menu...

Then go to Navigation Manager -> click on the drop down menu for the new menu (Add Link)

And then follow the same instructions as above to add links to the menu.

[BirdOPrey5]

Minor update to 1.3.1- A fix was added in case you accidentally add HTML into the URL field- previously the HTML entered would likely corrupt the IFRAMEr Manger page display in admin cp.

The only file actually changed is the bop5_iframer.php file in the /admincp/ directory. No need to re-install if you don't want to.

1) No one NEEDS to upgrade but yes the Gold version was also updated. I suggest people subscribe to the thread on Qapla.com to stay informed about updates.

2) What IE9 display issue? I don't see any mention of IE9 before your post in this thread?

[BadgerDog]

2) What IE9 display issue? I don't see any mention of IE9 before your post in this thread?

We've been exchanging emails on the problem we've been experiencing with the "paid" version? I sent a follow up yesterday?

You tested it and verified there's an issue with IE9 in reference to the drop down box and the small "carrot" symbol overflowing into the next line? You were busy in the last few months and indicated you would have a look and address it as soon as you had more time.

Thanks... :)

Lol, just a joke. :p


Word MEMBER in usergroup settings is not working, but it is OK for me, couse I set usergroups permissions with usergroup ID numbers.
Options to show links to pages in Quick links is not working. Maybe because of conflict with some other navbar mod (andreas mod?).

Thanks for the feedback.

[Old-Git]

Just tried this out and it seems to work however, I've hit a wee snag. I'm attempting to load a static html page from a directory at the root of my site but outside the install directory for all the VB stuff; Absolute Links takes care of that so, so far so good. However, the html file I am attempting to load is infact a tabbed, Excel speadsheet saved as an HTML file. It seems to load fine and I can see all that I need to see and the tabs all work OK as well. Pretty good! But, if I scroll all the way down, past the tabs, to the bottom of the page I can also see a lot of the code from my original web page. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Great mod btw, absolutely fantastic and I can see a multitude of uses for it!

[Old-Git]

Problem solved: I turned off scroll bars on the Iframe and the issue went away. The html page was providing it's own scroll bars so those provide by Iframer were not needed.

Man this mod is super cool! I've been hankering after something like this for ages. It allows me to present static pages in more professional manner!

[BirdOPrey5]

Glad you're happy. :)

Sorry for the delay... if you still have it installed are you sire the page name of "gamingstore" doesn't have a single-quote in it?

You may need to edit the database directly if it does to fix it... table would be bop_iframer.

[CharlieDelta]

No worries on the delay.

I have not had the error since but I did check the page name and the database and there are NO quotes.

I have the gold running on one of my sites and lite running on the other with no issues other than the one above.
You should have no problems.

There is no problem to do that but if you want to be absolutely safe it is best to back up before you make the change.

I noticed this right away but its all good, just created a new tab and re-directed it there, thanx brother it works great.

[BirdOPrey5]

In 4.2.0 Free and Gold version users benefit from being able to use the more powerful built in Navigation Manager to create links to IFRAME pages. Using it on 4.2.0 should not be considered "less" compatible. It does require you to make the tab yourself (if you don't want to use quick links in Gold) but it gives you so many more options it is often the better choice.

[SkepticalGaming]

this is a great plugin, i have it loaded it up. i see it in the quicklinks and everything loads up fine. is there something like this or in this plugin can i just have it done to a tab? instead of a quicklinks.

[BirdOPrey5]

If you have VB 4.2.0 or 4.2.1 you can use Navigation Manager to make a new tab and just put the URL ou get from quicklinks as the URL for the tab.

http://www.varanustalk.com/forum/iframer4.php?page=vital

There is no way to specify an IFRAME to be the height of the page it is displaying. That is not a limitation of this mod, just a limitation of the IFRAME tag in general.

Further the height, if specified as a percentage, is only the percentage of the containing element, in this case a <div> of the class iframer.

I recommend you always specify the height in pixels. That will force the <div> to the height you need.

[Ba'al]

Is this "Append 'tabid' to URL" set to "No"

[SkepticalGaming]

Is this "Append 'tabid' to URL" set to "No"

still opens in its own page :(

[BirdOPrey5]

In vBulletin 4.2.1 the last option when editing a navtab is "Open in New Page" - It should be No.

In vBulletin 4.2.0 all pages should open in the same page by default.

The append tabid should be yes but it doesn't affect opening in a new page, it just makes the currect tab highlighted when pressed.

[SkepticalGaming]

yeap its how i have it, and it still will not open within vbulletin. it will load up the url an goto that page just not in vbulletin.

We have the free version with one iFrame page -- using vB4.2.1 - works nicely.

There are 2 quality advisers around currently and they are very active. Hopefully they will pass by and help with most queries...

I've tried all the permission options listed, still says that I do not have permission to access the page that I created.
Are you listed as a SuperAdmin in your config.php file?

Yes I am listed as super admin and admin

[BirdOPrey5]

In the Admin CP -> IFRAMEr -> IFRAMEr Manager, and you edit one of the IFRAMEs, what do you have listed for "Allowed Usergroups" ?

Did you try:

ALL

OR

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Which would pretty much be every default user group except banned?

Are you sure you are going to the right URL? Are you following a link that was auto-added to the navbar?

[dizzynation]

Is there a way to make it so button and links are not clickable in the iFrame?

[BirdOPrey5]

Those just aren't possible with IFRAMEs. IE allows you to disable javascript which is an option available with this mod. Other browser's don't honor that though.

[Budget101]

Is there a way to only create a (dismissable) frame on the TOP of each external link with this mod? I don't want to completely enclose the external links, just display a header Top Frame like those used on About.com (example here: http://weightloss.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=weightloss&cdn=health&tm=8&f=00&su=p284.13.342.ip_p1026.33.342.ip_&tt=65&bt=8&bts=80&zu=http%3A//www.cspinet.org/new/201108021.html )

[BirdOPrey5]

Not with this mod. Not even close. Sorry.

[pcam]

Just installed and enabled but do not see the dropdown menu on the left frame of the AdminCP. 4.2.2

[BirdOPrey5]

Did you upload the files?

Did you refresh the Admin CP window in your browser?

Sorry, a careless mistake as I forgot there were usergroup permission changes and I didn't notice when using my ftp client.

Thanks for the mod!

Is it possible to keep an iFrame open/static, let's say at the top of the page and have the forumhome display/other vbulletin links on the lower about 75% of the page?

I happened to stumble here from:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-4/vbulletin-4-questions-problems-and-troubleshooting/419660-is-it-possible-to-load-an-iframe-in-vbulletin

and think I'm on the same quest as that poster was

[BirdOPrey5]

By default any basic links inside the IFRAME will open inside the IFRAME.

If however someone coded the links with a target attribute (such as target="_blank" to force a new page) there is no way to override that with an IFRAME.

So basically it can be done, but only on pages you control yourself, if you code them without target attributes.

I uploaded the gold version on 4.2.2 and when I select iFRAMEr Manager I get the following messge:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I also noticed there is nothing in the Quick Links from navbar.

[BirdOPrey5]

That would be the same error regardless of version- it means you did not upload the admincp files or do not upload them to the correct location.

One common reason for this is if you have a custom Admin CP directory and you didn't take this into account before uploading the files.

You should be able to get to the IFRAMEr settings from the IFRAMEr CP Group in the Admin CP.

[1320Nation]

I'll try uploading the files again, but I do not have anything custom that I know of. I run the default style. However, I noticed the directories in the left side menu all open anytime I do something in one of the directories.

Btw, I run a word press front page along with this board, and the address looks like "forums.mysiteaddress.com". Seems like some plugins don't like that and I thought I would mention it here just in case. Going to reinstall files now...

[BirdOPrey5]

The domain being used shouldn't make any difference- if you continue to have issue and want me to take a look you can PM me AdminCP/FTP details (even if the FTP is read only) so I can see what is going on.

[1320Nation]

Ok I'll PM you now.

[OmekaTeam]

I start this thread, because I have a problem. In the pictures you attached, the page is displayed all'inteno the CSS forum, but after installing this mod, I do not see it. this is the link, and you must click on the button "tim Cup." Where can I purchase the "Gold"? Sorry for my bad English.

How can i remove this bar and have the frame moved up?

[BirdOPrey5]

Assuming that is VB4 you have to edit the iframer_bop5_vb4 template. Remove what you don't want.

[OmekaTeam]

I purchased the GOLD version, but I have two problems. The first is that I would not want to see this web page for guests and the second is that I do not open my forum, but as external page. where did I go wrong? Basically I would like to see links within the forum and then the link I would display like this:

http: mioforum.it/iframe.php4 etc. and not the actual link.

[BirdOPrey5]

Questions about the paid for version should technically be asked on in the mod thread on Qapla.com, but since the paid version works the same as the free in this case I'll do my best to answer here.

If you don't want guests to see a particular IFRAME go to IFRAME Manager in Admin CP, click the Edit link for the specific IFRAME you wish to edit and in the Allowed Usergroups box paste it: MEMBERS

Then save changes.

That particular IFRAME will no longer be accessible by guests.

As for your second part, you can create links anywhere you want however if enabled in the mod options the links are automatically created under the Qucik Links menu.

If you are using VB 4.2.0 or higher you can always create links in the Navigation Manager.

Thank you BirdOPrey5 :)
How can I disable this in the picture?

[BirdOPrey5]

Hard to say without seeing more but it seems the content in the IFRAME is wider than the IFRAME you have set. You either need to widen the IFRAME (if possible) or make the content inside not as wide.

[john7911]

Can you please have a look at this link with the iframe?

I have tried to modify the CSS but nothing changes :(
I bought the Gold version :up:
Thank you ;)

[BirdOPrey5]

The CSS for the id: #bigbox

You need to remove the margin:auto attribute.

Then the body of the IFRAME you have margin-left: 600px and margin-right:600px both of those need to go, those alone make the overall width wider than the available space.

[john7911]

Thank you very much BirdOPrey5 :up:

Hello,
I installed this mod, it is very nice, thank you.
See here:

(http://www.tenisdemasa.ro/forum/iframer4.php?page=amaturmap)

It is possible to display this content inside some topic? As a message?
How can I add this in quick links? Or even better, as a sepparate menu?
