Hello together,

I guess i have seen such a tool already but i cant find it or remember its name.
To explain again what i want to do:

I want to add a page onto my website via iframe and the content of this iframe which is from a 3rd party website should be editable.

Can anybody help me with that maybe?

thx a lot

You can't edit the content of an iframe if you don't own both websites, however you can play with iframe settings to show only parts of the 3rd party website.

Hi,

thx for your answer. You could be right, although i think to remember having seen something like that already.
It was marketed to affiliate marketers and in their productvideo they iframed a wikipedia page onto their site and added (or changed) external links.
I never tried it myself, but i am almost totally sure having seen that.

That's not iframe for sure. The only way to do this is to have some backend scraper, get the HTML code from external site (it doesn't work all the time for all sites). That requires custom code (plugin, whatever) but keep in mind it's not for every site.

You used to be able to do stuff like this with iframes back in the 2000s, but there's no way that any modern browser will let you get away with that sort of thing nowadays. It's probably more like a scraper with some pattern matching to amend the content, which is then shown via ajax in a div.
