Hi
Can you tell me if there is a setting I am missing in order to make combined iframe links work on Facebook? Whenever I try to share a link there (f.eks. https://www.hafdal.dk/legstadaleit/index.php/database/?page=s|www.hafdal.dk%2Ftng%2Fgetperson.php%3FpersonID%3DI3068%26tree%3DTree2) the url gets cut off when it is converted to HTML so this part gets converted: https://www.hafdal.dk/legstadaleit/index.php/database/?page=s|www.hafdal.dk and this part is left off: %2Ftng%2Fgetperson.php%3FpersonID%3DI3068%26tree%3DTree2.

How can I fix this?
Thanks
Rakel

I don't understand. If I open
https://www.hafdal.dk/legstadaleit/index.php/database/?page=s|www.hafdal.dk%2Ftng%2Fgetperson.php%3FpersonID%3DI3068%26tree%3DTree2

and then check the iframe url it tells me:
https://www.hafdal.dk/tng/getperson.php?personID=I3068&tree=Tree2

in the iframe. In FF and Chrome.

Yes the URL is correct, but somehow Facebook cuts the URL in two, stopping at the first "%" that is in the URL:
https://www.hafdal.dk/legstadaleit/index.php/database/?page=s|www.hafdal.dk%2Ftng%2Fgetperson.php%3FpersonID%3DI3068%26tree%3DTree2

Just try to copy the URL and share it on Facebook (either by creating a new post or adding it as a comment to an existing post). After you press Enter, the URL gets converted to a clickable URL, but only up to the first %. So when you try to click on the URL, you go to a page that does not exist.

I hope I have explained this good enough.

Maybe the url is decoded there. You might have to encode the whole string one more time.

Best, Michael

How do I do that?

try something like this: https://www.url-encode-decode.com/

you might only have to encode the missing part twice...

Best, Michael

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it does not work

Have you checked in the facebook page how the link looks like?

Best, Michael

I tried encoding this URL:
https://www.hafdal.dk/legstadaleit/index.php/database/?page=s|www.hafdal.dk%2Ftng%2Fgetperson.php%3FpersonID%3DI3428%26tree%3DTree2

And I got this URL:
[url]https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hafdal.dk%2Flegstadaleit%2Findex.php%2Fdatabase%2F%3Fpage%3Ds%7Cwww.hafdal.dk%252Ftng%252Fgetperson.php%253FpersonID%253DI3428%2526tree%253DTree2[/url]
Which Facebook does not recognize/convert it to a clickable link, so it does not work.

The problem is also that I want my users to be able to share a link, and they would not know to go through this encoding/decoding procedure before sharing my website.
