Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
Hello all,
Please visit this : http://www.beleuramyhome.org.au/forum.html - same package used here in WWB.
It is a Responsive site, with a master frame and layout grids and it works OK as embedded.
The phpBB is launched here through a page with an iFrame in it, that's how it is loaded "Inside" the website itself.
The problem I have is in that, when a user is subscribed to a topic and gets notified, when they click on the link in that email, it takes them directly to the page, OUTSIDE of the website itself, for the age group I am part of (70-80), this becomes very confusing...
Any suggestion how to overcome this.
Maybe someone can tell me how to make a call from the email message and pass the URL including the parameters into an iFrame ?
I thought maybe a Flexbox or embeded page can resolve my problem???
Cheers

I don't think this is possible. This would require a modification of the phpbb code.
Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
Well, what I intended to do is
1) Rename the page viewtopic.php to something like actualtopic.php for example...
2) Creat a new page called viewtopic.php - this will circumvent the need to change anything in the phpBB code (which I dislike the idea)
In this new page viewtopic.php - I will have an iFrame, but - instead of pointing the iFrame to a predefind URL
3) I will somehow be able to gram the URL arguments that are inside the email an dinamically load actualtopic.php + the arguments into this iFrame...
This should be possible, but I have no idea how to do this...
Thanks

Maybe this will be useful?

Note that this is very old code, so I do not know if it still works. But you can try...

Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
It seems here that everything is hard coded...
In my case, there are arguments added to the URL, for each case there are diferent arguments in the email
Or do I missunderstand something?
I can't see how are the argument passed to index.html passed into the iFrame?
Thanks

What do you mean by hardcoded?
Did you try the suggested code?

Hello again,
Morning down under, so I tried it - it is NOT working...
The page that the email message points to is : http://beleuramyhome.org.au/phpBB3/view ... ead#unread
It is actually a plain PHP file with NO HTML at all, you can check it on the WWB forum to see what I mean.
I inserted a HTML section at the bottom after all the PHP code (Which by the way, has no "?>" closing...) and made the insertion of the suggested code into that..
The problem is that phpBB is actually generating the HTML page on the fly, and that is what we see in the browser...
The html page is generated on the fly, I can't make any changes to this "Sub-page"
Back to my original question - can I pass a URL+arguments into an iFram on the fly?
Thanks

Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
I'm sorry ,if this does not work then I do not know how to implement this either.
No, not without writing script.Back to my original question - can I pass a URL+arguments into an iFram on the fly?
Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
I am curious... how is it implemented on your website?
Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
I have just added a link, I am not using an inline frame.
Re: Embedding Forum - phpBB3 into my website
OK, just noticed that it is NOT embedded inside the website
Thanks
Thanks
