Iframe forum link

Chatsong_

Hello there tried to use an iframe, to use on my website so people can use the community
But it doesn't let people and me login trough an iframe it says reload page something went wrong?

How to solve that problem??

Is there a reason why you want to use an iframe? That generally tends to be a worse experience for users; it might be simpler and cleaner for your users to set up your forum at community.YOUR_DOMAIN.com or discuss.YOUR_COMMUNITY.com or etc. From there, you could stylize your forum to fit with your site using custom CSS, fof links (to have a similar header structure as your main site), and a custom header/footer.

askvortsov because i am not a developer, and the server i use hasn't php or something to use the forum on my website?
Using an iframe in the past worked always correct but now it works but only log in not

Chatsong_ to use Flarum login inside of an iframe that's cross-domain, you need to change the security of the cookies.

If you can avoid an iframe, it will be more efficient, responsive and secure to use a subfolder or subdomain for Flarum.

If you really want to change the cookie security, see https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25592-cant-log-in-when-forum-is-shown-in-an-iframe/2 for how that can be done.

Where is the forum hosted though? If you're using a managed service like FreeFlarum, you likely won't be able to customize the cookies.

it is on a website server called jouuweb in the netherlands, but before when i used it in 2019 the version of that did let me log in without any problems?

Chatsong_ internet browsers have been increasing the default security of cookies in the last year. Search for "SameSite cookies" to see articles about what browsers changed.

Flarum didn't actually change anything, but we added the ability to customize our cookie's SameSite value so that you can restore the old behavior.

Tried another community trough iframe and that does work with no problem at all
Logging in does work
So it is your settings

Chatsong_ what is your website hostname, and what is your Flarum hostname?

The problems come when the hostnames are different, which are cross-origin. By default browsers now refuse to share cookies in cross-origin iframes. The only solution to that is to add a "SameSite" property to cookies defining a different behavior.

Why does this forum works in iframe and yours not?

Chatsong_ As we've made clear this is a Cookie thing and the way browsers interpret them. If your using FreeFlarum you'll need to contact their support to change the cookie settings for your forum. If your running your own Flarum install you can look at https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25592-cant-log-in-when-forum-is-shown-in-an-iframe/2 for how to fix the config.

tankerkiller125 i run a free forum i will contact them , because it seems so nice but it is really hard to make it work

Chatsong_ With FreeFlarum, you should be able to attach a custom domain to your site. I would highly recommend you do this with a subdomain. Embedding sites in iframes is extremely outdated, and generally inconvenient for users.
