iFrame using page on same site but NOT part of WB project

[LJLachance]

I have a WB project. In site manager I can add and external file and I can create a folder. I can also put this external file that I added inside the folder BUT, when I want to add the external file (now in a folder) to an iFrame as "a page of this project" the folder will not open in order to access that file.

IF I ADD the external file in my site manager WITHOUT a folder, I can add it to the iFrame BUT, this means the link is not pointing to folder on the server where it needs to be. Hopefully this makes some sense. To try to clarify:

I have a page, in a separate folder on my site. The page was built outside of WB and cannot be altered using WB. When I add it as an external file, I am able to insert it the page in the iFrame as ./mypage BUT what I need it to be is ./myfolder/mypage so that when it is published it pulls the correct file.

This is particularly important so that I can put the iFrame Resizer on the content page. Will what I'm trying to do actually work?

Once again, I am using my own files on my own server, I am not using and "external" web page to display. Is it possible to put that outside file into a folder in my WB project and have it accessible to link to? Hope I'm explaining properly.
Thanks

In the properties of the inline frame, select 'External web address'
Enter the path of the file:
./folder/pagename.html

Thanks Pablo, that works to get the right page in the iFrame ... but as I read the iFrame Resizer instructions, I can't auto resize to fit if it uses an external page (as opposed to "Select Page") option. If the iFrame Resizer does work with this, then I am doing something wrong.

I have the iFrame in a layout grid set to "flexbox" with full width "true", overflow "none", layout "fluid", semantic tag "div", and position "floating".

I've have the "iFrame Resizer-content" in the same layout grid as the iFrame, and the iFrame Resizer on the page below the last grid with both checked as visible. While the iFrame works, I can't seem to get it to automatically resize.

Thanks for the reply and wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and wonderful holiday -

iFrame Resizer can only be used with pages that you have control over. See also the documentation.

The page IS mine, on my server, on the same domain, on my local PC, just not a part of the WB project on my local machine. I do have control over it right? BUT, the only way for me to use iFrame is to "Link to an External Web Address" because I can't add the page using "Link to a Page in this Project" even though I add it to Site Manager.

So now I'm confused. Am I able to make use of the iFrame Resizer?

Thanks

In that case, you will have to manually added the required code to the page.

See the documentation:

Thanks Pablo, this is what I had assumed. Unfortunately for me, I'm not literate in the 'where to add' and 'what to add' information listed in instructions when it comes to scripts and resizing. It's all good as I have made it work for the moment, until I come up with a better solution to my problem.

Enjoy

Could you not add a page to your web builder project that is not on the menu and put your content page there? I am looking at doing something similar and just starting to read and test the iframe resizer.

[Pablo]

iframe resizer requires two scripts:
- on the 'hosting' page (the page with the iframe)
- on the 'content' page' (the page that is displayed inside the iframe)
So, if the page content is not part of WWB then you will need to manually add the script.
