Embedding SMF Into My Website

[usdualsports]

I'm trying to embed my SMF into a page on my website. I'm using Iframe and it keeps showing up blank when I use my smf url. If I use a general url the iframe works so it makes me think that SMF has some sort of security that won't allow it to be embedded into a website page. If there is a way to cure this issue I appreciate the info.

I just did a search, using the search button, putting "iframe" in the search criteria, and the search results shows lots of discussion.

Try the search box - it's pretty good.

This, for example...

Thank for the reply, but unfortunately I can't do that with my website. I was able to do it a few years ago using only iframes, but for some reason I can't anymore.

Can't do what? Search?

The search box may yield other search results. Did you try...?

[usdualsports]

No I searched before posting just didn't find the solution. I can't do what that post you suggested.

It really was done for security - I'm the person who introduced the code to do it, because having your forum run inside an iframe can easily lead to all kinds of cases where people can be tricked into doing things they don't mean to.

If I knew exactly how you were trying to embed (e.g. which domain the iframe is on vs which domain the forum is on), or whether editing the theme to integrate it properly is actually feasible, we would be able to help better.

Thank for the reply and here is the code I'm trying to use.
<iframe src="hxxp:usdualsportsforum.com/index.php [nonactive]" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The main site will be hxxp:www.usdualsports.com [nonactive] and my forum addresse is hxxp:www.usdualsportsforum.com [nonactive]

thanks

Yeah, cross domain iframes are a security nightmare which is why the rule prevents them running. That would also imply multiple hosting accounts ruling out proper integration between the two.

Quickest way is to take the insecure route and remove the line from the top level index.php which says:

Code Select Expand

header('X-Frames: SAMEORIGIN');
