Question about Embedding

Forum URL: varietygalore.boards.net/


Is it possible to effectively embed the daily chess puzzle from Lichess on my website?

Embed

lichess.org/developers#embed-game

This s what they tell me to paste:

<iframe src="https://lichess.org/training/frame?theme=brown&bg=dark" style="width: 400px; height: 444px;" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Maybe in your headers/footers, a custom page, or in a specific team template; technically, PB is designed to break out of iframes, but I believe it's only if a PB site is put in one, and doesn't also break any iframes place onto a PB site.

For BBCode content areas, you could accomplish this using the View in Post plugin making sure to allow-popups and allow-scripts for the iframe security sandbox

SPOILER: Click to show

The iframe from lichess, however, isn't very interactive since it simply redirects you away from the forum upon clicking or attempting to drag a piece.

The chesstempo PGN Viewer plugin, on the other hand, allows you to do a move-by-move analysis of puzzles as well as entire games while still viewing the post with the PGN data embedded right there in the post

Thanks! I will check the plugin you just mentioned.

Thanks:  I will try the headers and footers.

BTW

What is an Iframe? 

What does breaking out of an Iframe mean?

What does breaking out of an Iframe mean?

An iframe allows nesting a document within another document so a lichess.org document can exist within a proboards.com document (think Inception).

The View in Post plugin mentioned above simply creates an iframe within the post to display a document from a different location. This method is more secure because it has crippling safeguards in place to prevent one site from interfering with the operations of another site or stealing credentials from unsuspecting users.

Breaking out of an iframe used to involve codes that detected whether the document was running at the top level and, if not, breaking out of the dream realm back into reality. Nowadays, there are multiple HTTP headers a server can send to the browser that deny access to the document if certain conditions are not met, such as not being displayed at the top level.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand it better now.
