Passing a parameter to an iframe?

Not really possible as the shortcode is processed and only the resulting html is sent to the browser.

I guess you could alter the plugin to “add” the parameters from the parent page to the iframe link during the shrotcode processing but I’m not sure if that would achieve what your looking for or not.

Apologies for posting here my solution outside of Auto-iframe, but in case anyone else needs to do this.

First step was to revert to the standard iframe but adding a little php, using a plugin “Code snippets”.

<iframe id="table-iframe" src=https://www.example.com/search.pl?&<?php echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; ?> style="margin:0; width:100%; height:150px; border:none; overflow:hidden;" scrolling="no" onload="AdjustIframeHeightOnLoad()"></iframe>

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] brings the query string from the parent page.

"AdjustIframeHeightOnLoad()" is described in the link below

Then I was left without the key function of Auto-iframe – automatically adjusting the height to iframe contents.

The approach described here simply involved adding a little Javascript via the “Code snippets” plugin again, into the page with the iframe and after the iframe is loaded.

<script type="text/javascript">
function AdjustIframeHeightOnLoad() { document.getElementById("table-iframe").style.height = document.getElementById("table-iframe").contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px"; }
function AdjustIframeHeight(i) { document.getElementById("table-iframe").style.height = parseInt(i) + "px"; }
</script>

The iframe id=”table-iframe” is key to linking the two parts together.

Interested if anyone has a better solution, particularly if the Auto-iframe plugin could be enhanced as suggested.

Version 1.4 includes support to pass the parents query to the iFrame.

I can confirm version 1.4 – passing the query works for me. Thank you.

Hi

I used a different approach.

1.-Install plugin “Code Snippets”. Add new snippet with this code:

function add_custom_query_var( $vars ){
$vars[] = “ticketid”;
return $vars;
}
add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘add_custom_query_var’ );

My variable is ticketid. Make sure to activate snippet after creation.

2.-Install plugin “Insert PHP” and go the page you want to modify Auto iFrame.

3.-Add this code to page:

[insert_php] $ticketid = get_query_var( ‘ticketid’ );[/insert_php]

[auto-iframe link=”https://anydomain.com/any/view.php?ticketid=%5Binsert_php%5Decho $ticketid;[/insert_php]” tag=10 width=100% height=100% autosize=yes]

4.-Go to your page:

https://anydomain.com/yourpage/?ticketid=123456

Its done

@quantiko2000 I would not suggest that method as the processing of shortcodes inside of other shortcodes is problematic at best and not guaranteed to work.

I have a page at mysite.com/score-card/ with the [auto-iframe] code in, that I want to reference in links as mysite.com/score-care/506263 for example so that the page loads [auto-iframe link=iframe.com/plugins/base/matches/506263/ query=yes width=900 height=1350 autosize=yes] where the number at the end of the link changes depending on what I put in the calling URL (if that makes sense).

Is this possible ?

TL;DR want number added to page URL to be passed to auto-iframe url to load different pages

No that’s not possible in the current code.

Ok, cheers, I’ll try and find a work around.
