Wrapper or iframe?

  • I’m using wp2.5. I’d like to wrap my vbulletin forum in a wrapper or iframe. I saw some suggestions on using iframe, but was wondering if there is a way to make the height of the ifram dynamic to fit the varying length of the forum. Thanks.

  • What are you trying to accomplish? iframe was intended to include external content on your page. Some designers use it for organic content because because they can fix the content frame in the first pageload. People like the fixed frame length (I’m told) hence my question. I try to avoid iframe in my designs unless it really is bringing in external content, because Google and other search engines treat iframe content as external content anyway and don’t index it.

    If you are running WordPress on your server, it seems to me that it would be better to link to your forum, and give it a similar brand. Many people will not even kow that they are no longer on your blog.

    I’m trying to bring in my forum. Right now it’s an external link. I’m not a webdesigner so I find it hard to match the design to my wordpress front page. If I can wrap wordpress around my forum, the appearance will be more cohesive. As you know, the length of the forum depends on how active the forum is. My experience with wrapper/iframe is that the height is fixed. I’m just wondering if there is anyway to make the height fluid to adjust to the length of my forum.

    This is how I have added in my own custom Header and Footer.
