wp_w3all responsive iframe procedure
After you’ve built/created the WP forum template page viaWP_w3all phpBB embedded on WordPress Templateoption on WP_w3all admin config page, and the blank page on WordPress Admin -> Pages -> Add New, titled the same of created wp_w3all template page, so forum or board etc…, to complete the procedure and get the responsive iframe height for the embedded phpBB into WordPress template page you need:
Open with a text editor your phpBB template file overall_footer.html
and just before the closing </body> tag, add this code (do not select lines numbers column on copied code):
<script type="text/javascript">
document.domain = 'localhost'; // THIS IS MANDATORY! Set/Change this value to your domain (example: axew3.com (or leave localhost if on localhost))
var w3all_doc_domain = document.domain;
$(document).on("click", "a", function() {
var href = $(this).attr("href");
$(this).attr("href", href.replace('iframe=true&', '')); // remove! or get loop in htaccess if var appended before ...
var w3allappend = href;
var w3all_parent_element_id = $(this).parent().get( 0 ).id; // detect click x ... (ex: return ID smiley-box, onclick post smiles) ... // detect and avoid/allow certain behaviors
var w3all_onclick_smile = (w3all_parent_element_id.indexOf('smiley-box') > -1);
var w3all_onview_topic = (href.indexOf('viewtopic.php') > -1);
var w3all_onview_attach = (href.indexOf('file.php') > -1);
var w3all_onview_post = /#p[0-9]+/ig.exec(href);
var w3all_ck_quickmod = (href.indexOf('quickmod') > -1);
var w3all_onreply_topic = (href.indexOf('mode=reply') > -1);
var w3all_ck_onindex = (href.indexOf('index.php') > -1);
var w3all_onsubmit_post = /^post?/ig.exec(href);
if ( w3all_onclick_smile === false && w3all_onview_attach === false ) {
if ('parentIFrame' in window) window.parentIFrame.scrollTo(0,50); // change 50 to another value may 0 or 100 or 500. Top distance gap in px when page scroll top
}
if ('parentIFrame' in window) window.parentIFrame.sendMessage(w3allappend);

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.axew3.com/phpBB/iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js" defer></script>
after you pasted this code into phpBB overall_footer.html edit the second line on added code:
document.domain = 'localhost'; // THIS IS MANDATORY! Set/Change this value to your domain (example: axew3.com (or leave localhost if on localhost))
change localhost to fit your domain name (example axew3.com), do NOT add http(s):// OR the point in front, just add
yourdomain.com or leave localhost if on localhost. If phpBB is at subdomain.domain.com, add domain.com as value
(MANDATORY!) or resizer won’t work
now check
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.axew3.com/phpBB/iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js" defer></script>
in the code you added (last line): this should correctly point to the iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js file that you’ll go to add into phpBB root folder. You need to use the absolute URL (use http or https as needed, and adjust the url to fit your needs)
(MANDATORY!) or resizer won’t work
src="https://www.yoursite.com/your-phpbb-folder/iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js"
AFTER EDITED, save and load the modified overall_footer.html into your phpBB style folder, overwriting the default one, and so
load through ftp on the phpBB root folder (or copy/paste), the file
iframeResizer.contentWindow.min.js
that is contained inside folder
YOURWP/wp-content/plugins/wp-w3all-phpbb-integration/addons/resizer
After this, phpBB require to recompile the template, or modifications to template files not affect (to overall_footer.html in this case). Open phpBB ACP, and so under:
Server Configuration -> Load settings -> Recompile stale style components set to YES and save. Load one time a phpBB full forum page. So return to ACP and reset to NO, save. This step is needed one time to load the template modifications on phpBB (and any time you edit a phpBB template file to for modifications take effect), but this option should be ever set to NO into an online/production site to save server resources. It is normally set to yes only for testing/devel purpose or to apply modifications on phpBB templates files.
If you want phpBB email notification links to point to iframe, follow this step about htaccess:
phpBB htaccess for phpBB notification email to point WP forum page (1.6.9>)
to activate the rewrite right click/copy links on iframe, to point to iframe, activate the related code removing the two lines:
