Posted 16 years 11 months ago
hi all .. .
did any1 face this problem where you wrapp a site in your joomla site .. but it annoys you that you cant point your users to certain pages without loosing the wrapped option .. ?? i build my shop using oscommerce software and i wrapped it inside my joomla site .. but not being able to direct users to certain pages due to (wrapper has only one url ) is killing me ..i know i can direct users to the shop directly but this way i lose the wrapped method and the template .. is there any soultion for this ?
i know this is the way that wrapper functions .. but is there anything i can do ..

The wrapper is a deceivingly nice and friendly name for an "iframe", an evil thingimagic if there was one!
You can't link to pages in an iframe, just as you can't on "fully-ajax" sites. Search engines almost never go into them.
There is no solution other then dropping the wrapper and integrating the wrapped site in another way, such as with a similar theme.
[edit... to answer the question, wrapper link doesn't change because the page doesn't change. Only the page linked to in the iframe changes. Think of the iframe as a browser within a browser, where the pages it accesses are not viewable by the parent browser)
