Iāve used the URL field and the generate feature to insert google maps link in letās say leads and/or acccount records in SutieCRM for a while and they have worked great. However, it doesnāt seem to work in SuiteCRM 8. Does anyone have this working? Or a better way of doing it?
Iām not getting anything in the URL field with the default set.
It doesnāt seem to be working with iframe either. Thinking maybe the āgenerateā part is broken or not developed yet.
Hello Paul,
Iāve used the URL field successfully in 8.5 - can you try a shorter link?
Maybe youāre exceeding 255 and have a DB constraint there?
Just for testing purposes, can you try to generate the URL in a text field and see whether that succeeds and if GMaps is opened at the right location?
Same for the iFrame - I used it in a detail view as well as in the dashboard.
Could you specify how you did it in SuiteCRM 8 or above versions
Hey @BastianHammer , no it just does not render in iframe:
It should output a map and substitute the variables.
The URL doesnāt seem to be generating either:
Can you show a screen shot of your working iframe URL and map output on the front end?
Iāve done it in 8.5:
But without a dynamic part.
With a dynamic part, despite the fact that not every webserver is permitting the request as it seems, it appears to be working as well:
And Iāve just tried it in 8.6.2 - there, the iframe is not rendered:
Will test later on in 8.7 - maybe itās a new bug. 
I was trying this myself and I came to know that alot, āALOTā, of websites do not allow iframe. As they have their own api that you can use for this same work. So in short some websites are not āembedableā.
However, there are some websites, e.g. Wikipedia, that allow it. Read this article if you wanna know more about this.
Hmm, Ive tried it on 3 different installs and three different web servers and just canāt get it to work. It works perfectly in 7. Im stumped!
Even just trying to output the billing address street as a url doesnāt work???
Is there some setting that needs to be turned on to allow this to work? Iām wondering if its a PHP version thing, @BastianHammer what PHP version are you running? Iām on 8.2.
The issue is not that iframe is disallowed, the issue is that the variables are not being populated.
All of my tests were on 8.5.1 I just tried 8.6.1 on a different server and I get:
Nothing!
Going to try to upgrade this version to latest and see if that helps.
Thatās odd - Suite 8.5, PHP 8.2 - Ubuntu Server, fairly standard LAMP stack.
Plain installation, no customization.
Does it work on Suite 8.5 for you, when youāre putting a fixed URL inside in the studio directly?
But still, it should render something ā¦
With a fixed URL it doesnāt even output the default value for the field. ie: https://www.website.com
Just upgraded to 8.6.2, still doesnāt work. Did all the standard stuff, like clear cache, re-set permissions. Iām really stumped on what could be causing this. Has to be a server setting or something.
@BastianHammer is there a chance that the module you are testing on is running in classic view[SuiteCRM 7 view]
As far as I remember iframe has not yet been implemented in Suite 8
Thanks @abuzarfaris thatās exactly it!!!
I just added the google maps iframe field to the projects module (which is still legacy) and it works perfectly.
So it definately doesnāt work in SuiteCRM 8 on SuiteCRM 8 modules, only legacy modules.
Yes, that was it - good guess then - I was running on a legacy module. So much for PHP version and LAMP stack 
So we change modules to legacy mode, then URL & iFrame will work?
config/services/module/module_routing.yaml
I suspect yes, I havenāt tried that exactly, I just used the projects module which is by default legacy.
You can make suitecrm 8 or above to show Iframe. But you have to make your own field for Iframe. I did it for myself and it works like a charm. I am not using the legacy view, just the new SuiteCRM 8 Angular Frontend. You would have to make your own field in
core core/app/core/src/lib/fields/
where you can make your own iframe with its own detail and edit view. Although you would have to implement the logic yourself. But its not that much of a work.
@farjadDev can you please share the details of your code? That would be helpful for more people.
