Wrapper/iframe to display search results
I am putting together a real estate site. I want it to grab information from another site through a search form and display it in an iframe/wrapper.
Below is the URL I need to set my iframe to...
http://www.dezrez.com/DRApp/Search.ASP? ... &WCU&<?php echo($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); ?>
I can't put this in the wrapper component cause it strips the PHP out.
The search form itself is set up in a module position so it's always visible.
Anyone know a way around this, it's beyond me??

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
Hiya Mate,
Having the same problem, the Iframe needs to have the SRC embedded of the search form, Although I too am lost as Joomla's "Wrapper" is dynamic.
Did you find a solution to this in the end?

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
One could target an existing Iframe with the dynamic url.
That IFrame could be harcoded in the template or created using a content, using jwrapperbot (see my sig).

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
Let´s say I want a dynamic iframe that shows the adress which will be sent with it in the URL - would that be possible?
Like this: www.mysite.com/section/?http://www.othersite.com/.... [or: section/?http//:www., or something like that]
For example: I put a searchform from another provider on my site, in an iframe, and when clicking on it, the visitor will be moved to a dynamic search-results-page provided by the other site, but still being on my site - would that be possible?

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
The search form (an html page) should have a target added to the resulting link or in its header.choomla wrote: For example: I put a searchform from another provider on my site, in an iframe, and when clicking on it, the visitor will be moved to a dynamic search-results-page provided by the other site, but still being on my site - would that be possible?
If this is the case, then naming the results Iframe with this target would be sufficient.

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
I have a similar issue. But not quite the same.
I am using Noah's Classifieds software. It is not a Joomla component. There is a login bridge for Joomla and Noah's Classifieds.
My problem is that I need to be able to dynamically load users' profiles from Noah's classifieds in a Joomla wrapper. So, users can find a users profile by going to www.mysite.com/username. I obviously wouldn't want to create a wrapper for each user, so I need to be able to create this wrapper dynamically, or dynamically change the URL of a wrapper.
Is there any component that can help me?
Thanks

Re: Wrapper/iframe to display search results
To the last poster. Did you ever find a solution to your question? I don't think there is a component that can help you, but there is definitely a way to handle noah in a Joomla Iframe. I have found several sites that do it quite well. Yet no one seems to be in the mood to share the technique.
Any luck in your site?
