A while back I posted about how I wanted minibb to display a header and footer if not running in an iframe and made the modifications referred to above in regards to setting and passing an iframe variable. It worked well but I've now realised there is one area where it's not working correctly and that is if I do a search and either click one of the page numbers (if there are more than one page of results) or click on one of the search results.

I can see that bb_func_search.php and search.html are involved in the search routine but can't see how to correctly pass the iframe variable in this particular case. Can it be done?

Sorry, without seeing a live example of what do you mean it's difficult to say what's up.

I'm referring to my earlier posts in this thread ... my minibb software runs both integrated within another website as an iframe but also as a standalone site with a header and footer. In order to achieve this I used the following (based on your advice):


As I said this works well apart from the search screen when you click on a page number to bring up a particular set of results or click on the URL of one of the actual results. SO I was asking if there was a way of passing the iframe variable into the results of the search screen.

Thanks for reminding.

When you mouse over the page number link, or just click it - do you see "?iframe=1&" statement inside of its URL?

So far I can't understand why it works so. Search script uses $indexphp setting in the same manner as all other scripts.

Just to summarise, I have the following within setup_options.php:

The URL to the main site is:

index.php


Clicking the search button gives:

index.php?action=search


Following a search the URL is:

index.php?phrase=[searchterm]&action=search&searchGo=1&iframe=


Hovering over the page number on the search results screen gives:

index.php?iframe=1&action=search&phrase=[searchterm]&searchGo=1&page=[page num]


Hovering over a result on one of the search pages gives:

index.php?iframe=1&action=vthread&forum=[forum num]&topic=[topic num]


I have replaced the actual numerical data in the URLs above with a description within square brackets.


Not sure if the above info helps to point out where I've gone wrong.

So it's fine, iframe var is passed correctly - what could be the problem then? Something in your internal code? I have no ideas.

Actually, I still don't understand what and where happens, may be the nature of the problem is on the other side. So finally, without seeing your exact URL, I can't tell what the problem is.

The iframe var isn't passed correctly, if you look at the various URLs I provided it's only after the search is run that the iframe var suddenly becomes 1, prior to that it is not set. It shouldn't be 1 as the example I'm quoting is for the standalone site which is not displayed within an iframe.
