mosiFrame: external site wrapper in content Plugin

This is a use of iframe to put external site or content within a page content without having to handcode HTML. Just 2 settings: the URL to frame and the height of the frame {iframe height="400"}url{/iframe}. That's all.

You can use this statement:{iframe width="90%" height="300" frameborder="1" scrolling="yes"}url{/iframe}, or simply {iframe}url{/iframe} in the content page... The statement is described in the mambot configuration. For more, see the demo with example code.

Provide full frame parameters.

This is awesome!

It doesn't work with IE8 though. I took the following advice of SUPPORT-FREAK from the forum to make it work in IE8:
"I found a solution for my site and it seems to work fine. Edit your html template as shown below. Remove the gte from the top of the html exactly as below."

Great plugin, but as CobusT stated -needs variable passing through normal "a href" links. If you could publish your version of plugin that would be absolutely fantastic !
This works great for me.
I can now write content in an article and include external web content (like my gallery) whilst having enough own text for search engines to find the page (unlike standard Joomla! wrapper that does not allow your own content on the same page).

I have modified this plugin to:
1) enable auto height slection as per Joomla! wrapper option. For content hosted on the same domain as my Joomla! installation the iframe plugin can now automatically adjust to the correct height.
2) enable URL parameter passing. I can now pass parameters to the iframe URL by adding parameters to the main site URL.

I'm not sure if I should mail the modified plugin to Nguyen or if I should publish it as a modified version of this extension?

it does what it says, and is user friendly. If you want to download it, do not use the button on this page, but the link

install, enable , go to article copy paste

{iframe width="30%" height="300" frameborder="1" scrolling="yes"}http://www.msn.com{/iframe}

and your done , this is fantastic, easy, incredible, wasted 8 hrs trying to get other apps to work, with no success
I was looking for a mambot that would allow me to embed google maps without editing html source code.

This one does the job nicely.

You might just want to take care that the wysiwyg editor won't include formatting tags such as bold etc when you insert your link.
To remove formatting, I usually copy/paste the code in notepad then back in the wysywig editor

I emailed Viet with a question for a specific piece of code
with his mambot. The next day an answer and a solution!
Thanks again Viet!!
There was initially a bit of bother with the coding but a quick email to the developers had it resolved in a few hours - well done viet. :)

The plug-in does exactly as designed and whilst I have not yet implemented it into the site I downloaded it for, I'm certain it will work perfectly.
