iframe and php code

joliett89 · 02-15-2013, 03:25 PM

I have a wordpress blog, with an iframe included in sidebar.php. I have some wordpress specific code inside of this iframe, and it does not seem to "interact" with the rest of the wordpress code. Is it normal? Is there any way to get around this one?

Code:

<ul><li><a href="http://www.domain.com/" target="_blank">domain.com</a></li><?php $blog_title = esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) );$words = split(' ', $blog_title);$actor_name = ucwords($words[0] . ' ' . $words[1]); ?><li><a href="http://www.name.com/pictures/<?=str_replace(' ', '+', $actor_name)?>" target="_blank"><?=$actor_name?> Model Search</a></li></ul>

Thank you.

yes. content in a frame is a separate web page. it’s as if you had two windows.

depends on what you understand by "interaction".

I am basically trying to get it to work with the rest of the Wordpress. It is a Wordpress blog, one of the files of the program is called sidebar.php (just like regular website, it gets loaded with header, content, footer etc), and I have the iframe included in that. I would like the php code to work with the rest of the program. The code is in the first post.

The content of the iframe is NOT a Wordpress blog - it is a completely separate page. If you want it to be part of the Wordpress blog then get rid of the iframe.
