Wrapper/iframe to display search results

Post by mrjon » Thu Mar 27, 2008 11:08 am

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??

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? :) :eek:

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).

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?

The search form (an html page) should have a target added to the resulting link or in its header.
If this is the case, then naming the results Iframe with this target would be sufficient.

No way... Not only would it have to be enterily rewritten but we will not provide support anymore to the Joomla 1.0. series as of July.

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

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?
