Using an iframe Modal
What is an iframe Modal?
An iframe is a simple HTML tool that lets you embed a webpage inside another page. When used as a modal, the content pops up over your current screen—without taking users away from your Church Online service.
Why use it?
Some Moments (like Giving, Connect, or Salvation) let you add a URL. Choosing the iframe modal option displays that link as a pop-up on top of the Church Online experience, keeping attenders engaged without leaving the page.
Testing iframe Compatibility
Not all websites allow their pages to be shown in iframes. Here's how to test if your link will work:
- Go to Admin > Moments and select a Moment that supports a URL (e.g., Giving, Connect, Salvation).
- Add your desired URL to the field.
- Select "Display in iframe" as the option.
- Tap the test button.
If the modal loads your content correctly, you’re good to go! If you see a blank screen or a message like "[website] refused to connect," the site likely blocks iframes.
- Make sure your URL includes
https:// - If you manage the linked website, talk to your web admin about enabling iframe support.
