How can I load NodeBB in an iframe?

[delc82]

I'm building an application and inside the dashboard I need to load NodeBB in an iframe, how can I do that? Shows an empty iframe when I try.

Will be fixed here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1616

In the meantime you can just delete this line

I needed to add "ALLOW-FROM uri" to the code instead of deleting the line mentioned but thank so much! Awesome software by the way!

Thanks ! Maybe we should update that issue to be able to set the "ALLOW-FROM" uri instead

Yes! that sounds logical!! Cool!

I'm still having a problem getting this to load in an iframe. I have an app running on localhost:80 that I need to embed my NodeBB into.

I'm assuming you tried the new setting in the ACP, but have you tried the original solution, did it work?

Yes! The iframe still doesn't load properly for me. I need to include my NodeBB into an application that is already running on localhost:80.

If you are hosting NodeBB on port 80, then this will probably work. However, if you are using https on port 443, which in today's climate, you should be, then it won't as you can't embed https inside http using an iFrame. In addition, using iFrames will subject the site to clickjacking vulnerabilities and is not recommended.
