Hello,
EE4
Please point me into the right direction for how I should achieve this .
I need it for affiliate system integration purpose.
So, we need to specify 1-2 variables into the embedding iFrame url .
Then, when the visitor hit the submit button we need those variables to be passed to the EventEspresso page so the affiliate script within the page will create the affiliate cookie accordingly .
Can you please give me a hint about the file to look into for that as the EE structure seems very complex to me.
Thank you very much,

Hi,
If the iframe is on a different site (domain) you will struggle with this as browsers don’t allow cross site scripting (it’s a security risk) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy
The only way I can see this working would be to add variables to the Iframe URL and then retrieve the URL from the parent page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26657826/how-can-i-pass-a-variable-from-iframe-to-a-parent-window
Detecting the change will be hard, and maybe impossible if you don’t control both sites code, and would involve some in depth JavaScript coding.
If you are not code savvy, I would suggest contacting a developer for advice and assistance with this, as it will likely get complex if it is even possible to do.

Thank you, Dean
I was thinking at the “add variables to the Iframe URL” solution.

No problem. Depending on your set up you may also want to consider using the API, though it’s a little more in depth: https://eventespresso.com/2015/07/event-espresso-4-rest-api-add-on-available/
