I am setting up a database of team members and I would like to be able to feed their individual facebook pages into the profile page.
I can add the social plug in on the dynamic page, but cannot find a way to tell it a different facebook page name for each instance.
I could iframe a facebook page into the dynamic page, but I can’t find a way to add the iframe as a database entry & have it show on the profile page (no field type for html).
I am not a coder, but I have an elementary understanding and access to a husband who understands code much better than I do (a programmer out of college, too many years ago now!).
I love a challenge and I have a vision of creating something amazing, but just need to make these tools work for me to do so.
Any help or suggestions would be so very gratefully received.
Warmest wishes,
Amanda.
Hi,
Instead of an iFrame, you should use a $w.HtmlComponent , which is a Wixian iFrame. As you’ll see in the docs, you can communicate with the HtmlComponent by passing messages between the page and the [code in the] HtmlComponent.
Of course, this assumes that you already have the Facebook page name - I guess that would be provided by the team members.
Good luck,
Yisrael
Thank you for this! I have used this component before to embed websites etc. I did not imagine I could use it on a dynamic page & give it a different code input each time.
I am excited to try it and will shut myself in a dark, quiet room as soon as possible to get my head around it.
I am very appreciate your assistance. Thank you!
Can you expound on this topic in more detail?
I’m looking to use database inputs to dynamically feed onto a page. (ex. how to show a different location on an embedded or iframed google map).
I am looking forward to display different versions of the same URL with different parameters using the EMBED a site function which is as far as I can see the other face of this same html widget, I need to dynamically change its destination/embedded URL per user action either via database or directly via code and associated actions and elements.
Is this possible? If so, how? I was not able to find any references about this particular need, to WRITE data into the iframe dynamically and have it change what it displays accordingly.
