Loading a slider within iFrame

Permalink
Hi all,

Have read through the forums and can't seem to find the info. I need to place a slider within iFrame.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

This would only work if the content you're iframing in is another page from within the same Concrete5 install.

You can't manipulate the content inside an iframe if you don't own it.

So if it's your iframe, you could merely create a page in the sitemap, give it a different theme (so that it'd look okay inside an iframe, rather than repeating the header/footer/layout/etc) and place your slider on there.

If it's not your content inside the iframe, there's nothing you can do...

You may be able to turn it round and place an iframe within a slider :)

Not quite so silly as it sounds, but would require a bit of work and not particularly flexible. If you can load a sequence of iframes, each with one part of the external content, then each iframe could be shown within an element of the slider.

If you are not bothered about script and perfect styling of the external content, you could grab each element of a slider from the external source using Box Grabber or the more flexible Universal Content Puller interface to Box Grabber.
