How/Where to create iFrame for 3rd party lodgement

origomedia

Hi Guys,

I need to create an iframe so that I can put this link it which processes a membership application https://apply.cardskipper.se/hxwm

I want to put it in the JOIN NOW button that appears on this page https://www.shootforstars.com/index.php/members-club

What I am struggling to get my head around is what to actually create, an article a component? And how do I work out the url to put in the Join Now button link.

Thanks Jim

Hi Jim,

If I got your message correctly, you want to put a link into your site and when user clicks, it redirect to above page, right?

It will depend on where you want to put that 'Join Now' button, could you share screenshot of where you want to add this button?

origomedia

Hi saguaros

so if you see the screen shot you will see there is a Join Now function on the page. I Know I could put the link https://apply.cardskipper.se/hxwm into that button but I want to put it in an iframe so i can do other things with the page the ioframe is on.

What I am trying to figure out is where do I create the iframe. Would it be in an article or in a module?

Hi Jim,

Which screenshot are you referring to?

whoops saguaros this one

saguaros

Joomla supports a menu item type of iframe:

You can also create a new menu item with this type and add link there.

Many thanks saguaros I have managed to get that working https://www.shootforstars.com/index.php/join

I seem to have lost the logo at the top of the page but will track that down over the weekend.

As always thanks for the great support.

Let me know if you need any help then 😉

Thanks saguaros I was going to have a play with it tonight and see if I could get this bit fixed.

However, I logged in and get this error now:

An error has occurred.
0 Call to undefined function isseti()

J then X Keyboard Shortcuts

And it does not let me do anything at all. Is this a known joomla error and how does one go about fixing it?

Cheers Jim

Hi Jim,

You can enable debug mode + set Error Reporting to Maximum via 'configuration.php' file in the root folder of your site, it will show the error in details and you can know where that error comes from.

Hi saguaros do you mean enable the debug mode in the System settings in the back end admin? If so then I am lost as I cannot do anything in the admin backend apart from login. The error is preventing me clicking through to anything else.

I found this online:
To enable Debug mode in Joomla:
Open configuration. php configuration file;
Find the strings public $debug = '0';public $debug_lang = '0' and change from "0" to "1";
Save changes.

However, when I look in my configuration file the current settings are not 0 they are:

public $debug = false;
public $debug_lang = false;
public $debug_lang_const = true;

Should I change them all to 1?
Cheers Jim

hi saguaros an update. I changed everything to 1 and now it shows me all the errors. Not sure what has caused all these errors (see screenshot) to come at the same time as have not made any changes to the site.

So I can go into the file manager and find the file with the error for example
{
return $this->fetchTemplate($params)->parseTemplate();
}

My question is am i mean to just delete the () or is there something more that needs fixing?

Many thanks Jim

Sorry saguaros for all the messages. I read on a post that I didn't need the atum template so I deleted that and now the back end won't open at all. https://www.shootforstars.com/administrator/

Am not sure why deleting a template that I am not using would stop me from opening the admin site?

The site itself seems to still be running fine.

I hope I haven't made a huge stuff up?

Hi Jim,

By default in Joomla 4, there is only one administrator template - Atum, if you deleted template, of course, there will be error.

If you have backup of your site, try to restore it.

origomedia

saguaros thanks can I alternatively upload Atum to the template file where i deleted it?

Jim

saguaros

You can download Joomla package and copy the folder of Atum template into your site:

[your_site_root]/administrator/templates/atum/

origomedia

Thanks saguaros unfortunately that didn't work. I'm worried now that the problem is actual to do with the error messages that I pasted in an earlier message in this chat and even if I upload a back up copy of the site these errors will still be impacting on the site.

Jim

saguaros

Hi Jim,

The error indicates issue from Atum template, I don't what you customized in this template or changed something there. Could you post the same question into Joomla forum? as this relates to default template of Joomla.

Thanks saguaros I will get someone to have a look at it tonight. I didn't change anything to start with so not sure what caused the problems but hopefully will have it sorted soon. Cheers for all your help Jim
