SMF in frame

[Pool Secretary]

I recently had my forum load in an inline frame on my site, but when i upgraded to 2.06 it will no longer load in the frame....how can i fix this

[margarett]

Yes, it was one of the security issues fixed in the latest update...

[Pool Secretary]

so is there anyway that i can make it open in the frame?  i liked it that way so my users could easily navigate back to other pages on my site after using the forum.

index.php, find and remove (or comment out) this:

Code Select Expand


header('X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN');

Thank you for the timely response,  that fixed it for me.....

Do note that running SMF (or any php script that uses sessions) in an iframe is prone to troubles with logins and other sessions being dropped, will have bad links that link to things outside the frame and is generally a poor idea.

It is a much better idea in today's age of CSS to design your forum to match whatever site you want it to be a part of.

If your setup is broken by SAMEORIGIN, you have very serious problems with respect to security anyway.
