Adding a link on your web site to your Powerbase form is alwys the easiest way to get people to fill out your form.
However, sometimes you want a bit more control over the look and feel. In these cases you can choose to use the iframe option.
An iframe is a way to embed an external page on your own web site. To use this approach:
- Contact support so we can enable the following items:
- Enable iframe ext:
longshore site-cv SITE en iframe - Generate iframe helper file:
longshore site-iframe SITE
- Enable iframe ext:
- Add the following code to your web site to incorporate the page:
<iframe src="https://YOURSITE.ourpowerbase.net/iframe.php/path/to/page?id=123"></iframe>
Lastly, it's important to know that this approach effectively "tricks" users into submitting data to your Powerbase site when they are accessing your regular web site. This kind of behavior is generally considered bad security by web browser vendors, so there is always a risk that a future web browser update may prevent it from working.
Additionally, this feature is still experimental in CiviCRM and likely to change, requiring a change to all pages that you embed.
