There are risks, but there are also valid usecases.

personally, I think that iframes are outdated at this point.... with the various SSI functions from pretty much every site, why would you open yourself to the potential security issues?

Wouldn't this then open the door to clickjacking?

It most certainly would. Iframes are an outdated and risky concept at this point.

Well, we all live and learn, took me a couple of hours searching to sort it out...

While I know this is an older topic, is there a variation of this available for SMF 2.1xx?

it is a feature in the admin panel. I don't recall where but you can configure this directly there.

In Admin > Maintenance > Server Settings > Security:  Frame Security Options

Or Just type the word frame into the admin search box.  ;)

Okay, since y'all helped me, I've worked through a process to allow the iframed page title to be fed back to the parent page's page title... I want to post this as a tip and trick, of course, but can't seem to create a new topic for this (and, yes, I've read the instructions).

I'll have to make this post somewhere else, come back here and link to it, and let the SMF team have at it.

Posted... just to ensure I'm complying with the Tips and Tricks guidelines, I've posted it on one of the SMF Friends private board.

This will allow the SMF Team to review and decide to approve/reject. :)
