Alfresco can't load document library in iframe

jiyeyuran — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:52:53 GMT

I would like to load share into an iframe on a different domain. It works. The problem is that I cannot get the "document library" to work. There is no "document" tab below "Library"

Unfortunately it won't work due to the URL-based "ajax history" component within YUI. The iframe doesn't have permission to access the top-level window (the one that owns the address bar) and so an error is thrown.

This *might* be fixed in YUI 2.9.0 which we'll probably upgrade to before 4.0 is released, but it will still be an unsupported and unrecommended deployment scenario.

Thanks,
Mike

thanks for your quick reply. I agree with you. It works if the page including iframe is in the same domain with Alfresco. It may relate to cross domain access.

I found an article:http://softwareas.com/cross-domain-communication-with-iframes, do you think it is useful to solve this problem?

Apparently, YUI 2.9.0 got released; does it contain the fix? (I couldn’t find any indication either way.)
Can I simply replace the YUI in our installation with the newer one, and if so, how?

I’m working on an integration of Alfresco into another platform of ours where I develop on,
I don’t have any experience with Alfresco itself. (Got root, though…)

Also, is there any other way to do this? (Where’s the link to the YUI bugreport?)

I have full control over the page containing the IFRAME – it’s basically just a navigation
header, nothing fancy (not even _any_ ECMAscript inside it), so if there’s an alternative…
(it should be generic enough, though).

The “domain” situation is like this:

Alfresco lies in subone.company.com, the IFRAME lies in subtwo.company.com
