Dynamic external link not opening up inside iframe for my popup

    My boss purchased the Remote Content extension. I created a Popup with a blank iframe <iframe id="test" src=""></iframe>, clicked checkbox for Enable Remote Content, and set type to iFrame, plus set targeting conditions for the entire site. On my test page, I place this code: <a href="https://google.com" class="popmake-12">Click Here</a> where popmake-12 is the name of the popup window I created.

    My expectation is that when I click the link, it will populate the iframe with the href link (i.e., google.com). The popup window appears, the loader fires for about 5 seconds, but then the iframe src is not loaded. The Chrome Console doesn’t give me an error either.

    What am I missing? How can I get Remote Content to populate the iframe’s #test.src with the hyperlink’s this.href url? Do I still need to write custom jQuery code to do this?

    After continued experimenting, I have this partially working. I removed my iframe code altogether from popmake-12 (so that it now looks blank) and when I click the link, my anchor url loads inside the popup! ??

    However, without the ability to set a height for the iframe, the popup, or the theme, the result is that about 98% of the external page content is cut off in the popup. Only approximately the top 25px of the popup is visible.

    Also, on a more minor note, the loader appears as if it is sitting on top of the popup window and not inside it.

    @davelmer – For paid extensions please submit a support ticket, this also makes sure your ticket gets looked at sooner.

    As to the first issue, you cannot load google in an iframe. They have settings on their servers to block remote loading of the site. This is not something that you can really get around, except for possibly using PHP to scrape the page html (not recommended).

    PS this extension is getting some big updates shortly to go with the massive v1.4 update for Popup Maker itself.

    In any case submit a ticket and we can get this resolved.

    @danieliser Thanks and I look forward to the updates! Please include more documentation with the new release, too….preferably a step-by-step on how to set up a “Hello World” popup. Might possibly cut down on many of your support tickets. ??

    Per your request, I will submit a support ticket (although it will be in my boss’s name). BTW, I tried other test URLs which did in fact appear remotely. The issue is now one of not displaying the page inside the popup. It’s being cutoff almost entirely.

    @davelmer – We are definitely working on that. A lot of the support issues will be non issues after v1.4. We made changes that elminate several setup issues that made up ~45% of all support issues :).

    I’m struggling with the same issue but with a non Google URL.

    <a href="https://domain.com" class="popmake-info">Click Here</a>

    I was hoping to have the href open in the modal window? What am I doing wrong?

    @progresst – He is using our Remote Content Extension which does what your after. By default it does not do that, it simply shows the popups contents, whatever that may be that you added.

    Hope that helps.
