I have been trying to figure out how to get my "whenintime" timeline to embed in a page. The HTML code is -

<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" width="650" height="1500" style="border:1px solid gray;" src="http://whenintime.com/TLView/tlblog.aspx?tlurl=/tl/geomergent/op4_passive_solar/"></iframe>
 
I have tried many ways of getting this emeded. I tried creating an .html document in textedit uploading it in my files and using the HTML block - The document opens in my browser just fine but wont embed in mahara, it shows up as an empty frame. I also tried to embed it into a text block using the html button. when I enter the code and "update" it, it brings me from the html back to the text block. It shows up there perfectly embeded in the block, when I save this, it returns me to the page with an empty frame. I open it back up and it has changed the html text to -
 
<p><iframe width="650" height="1500" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
 
I also tried external content embeding blocks, nothing works. Why does the html get changed when I save the text block? is there a way to stop it from doing this?
 
Thanks for any help, This is for a project do Nov 1st and it would be great to have this in my report! Simha

Mahara utilizes HTML Purifier (SafeIframe) which is responsible for stripping out your iframe HTML code. The solution is that you ask the administrator of your Mahara site to include/add allowed iframe source.

Hello Simha,

And the information in the user manual on how your admin can add that iframe is at http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.8/administration/extensions.html#allowed-iframe-sources (or s/he can look at the left-hand side for the specific Mahara version that you have).

Cheers

Kristina
