IFrame Session

IFrame Session is a gem that allows problematic web browsers (Internet Explorer and Safari) to use same cookies in iframes as in parent windows.

The gem is Rails-dependent

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'iframe_session', git: 'git://github.com/LiveTyping/iframe_session.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage example

Add call of iframe_session_fix(redirect_path, options = {}) method on the controller your root_path points to.

• redirect_path is the parent iframe path
• options is the options hash as for before_action call

Let's pretend your parent iframe path is http://example.com/ and your routes.rb looks like:

...
root 'home#index'
...

In this case your home_controller.rb should look like:

class HomeController < ApplicationController
  iframe_session_fix 'http://example.com/', only: :index

  def index
    ...
  end
  ...
end
