Hello
I have a form (accept data inputs) and view (show processed results) running side-by-side on a domain, e.g domain1. It is a fairly complex setup that involves API calls, an automation, etc.
I need to embed this page (form+view) into several different websites, e.g. domain2, domain3... domain10. I'm using Advanced iFrame to accomplish this and it works perfectly.
What I need however is to capture the parent URL (browser page url) where the iframe resides so I know which site the submission came from.
The two code snippets attached apparently capture the parent URL but I'm not sure how to implement either and then capture the results to a field as part of the submission.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Kind regards
Lawrence

It depends on how well-versed you are with jQuery. In general, you create a hidden field in your form and then use jQuery to write the URL value into the field so it's saved with the rest of the fields.
On second thought, can you try making a hidden field and setting its default value to [server param=REQUEST_URI], though I'm not sure how that'll work with the iframe?
Thank you for the quick response Rob. I understand what you are suggesting but I'm not familiar enough with jQuery to accomplish this without spending time on it and/or experimenting. I don't mind paying to get this piece of work done.
Please advise.
I use [server param=REQUEST_URI] already to capture the URL for different functionality. This returns the iframe URL and not the parent page url.
Try my second suggestion and if it doesn't work, you can send me an email at rolevine@gmail.com and we can discuss.
