How do you get paypal registration to work in iframes?

My client needs the registration pages to be embeded into a site via iframes. My guess is to do a target=”_new” somewhere in process_payments.php in gateways folder but looking at the file, I have no clue where. Does anyone know which file and which line to modify with what in order to do this? -Thanks

FWIW – I’m using EE v 3.1.2 and WP v 3.3.1

Hello,

I am not sure exactly what you are asking here, could you please define your question?

Also, from a business standpoint and a WordPress lovers standpoint, please update the plugin and WordPress! Numerous bug fixes, security holes and feature updates have been added to both WordPress and Event Espresso since those versions first came available.

Thanks, been a deadline-heavy time, I didn’t notice I was behind on either. Will update both soon.

My client has a non-wordpress website, I would like to embed the EE registration pages using iFrame rather than clicking over to the wordpress site. It’s possible to go through the entire registration process in the iframe– submit, confirm, but when you hit checkout, the paypal window will not load into the iframe. So, I’m thinking that upon clicking checkout, instead of having paypal load in the same window, it could open in a new window and problem solved. Seems easy enough in theory, I just can’t figure out where/how to do that.

Hi,

In the event-espresso/gateways/paypal/settings.php there is a form on line 84. Adding target="_blank" to the form will make the paypal button open in a new window. Not tried it in an iframe, but I cant see any reason why it wont work.

Thanks for the response. I gave it a shot and it didn’t work, maybe I’m not doing it right?

Here’s the original:

I tried these:

Hi,

It looks right to me. As I said I havent tested this via an iframe. I didnt think it would be an issue but it seems it is.

Have a look at this http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp it would need to go into the header of the iframe page.
