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 - 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
