phpmyfaq in iframe

Post by yosterroaster »

I tried to access my faq via an iFrame

Code: Select all

 URL:= '<iframe src="' + aURL + '" width="' + itoa(htmlFrame.width) + '" height="' + itoa(htmlFrame.height) + '"></iframe>';
and I get "Access Denied"

I can access some other sites with this code, but it doesn't work with:

http://faq-data.com/simplelandlord

Is there something I can do to make this work?
BTW I am using GoDaddy if that makes a difference.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi,

yes, we use a frame buster script to avoid running phpMyFAQ in an iFrame.

Is there a way around this?

I want to call my faq from my website.

My faq runs on a linux server with the domain faq-data.com

My web site is simple-landlord.com

So they are different domains, but I really need a way to make this work.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Thorsten,

Would it be possible to add this as an option ?
For my admin story, I'm developping a complete Intranet for my compagny and phpMyFAQ is, with OTRS and other open sources projects, used by some people, and I need them to work only into this intranet. In OTRS, there is an option that says "Allow iframes" and some security warnings and while you don't enable this option, OTRS won't work in an iframe (default). The same should be great, I understand the security risks but in my case this is for an internal business compagny, not for dangerous Internet.

Hi,

I could add this in the upcoming 3.0 release if you wish that.

Hello, I have deleted from the "index.html" the part. Unfortunately, the integration via iFrame is still blocked. What am I doing wrong? I use version 3.0.9.

Hi,

that's not enough. Do you use the rewrite rules and Apache?

Hi,

please remove the following lines in the file .htaccess:

Code: Select all

# X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
