I am having trouble logging into my Dynalist account when a Dynalist note is displayed in an iframe within an Obsidian note.

The problem is "not being able to log-in (I have signed up with my Google account) and the iframe error message reads: “Your browser has blocked google login popup”. However my default browser is Google Chrome and popups for dynalist.io are not blocked.

Does anyone have any ide how to login to Dynalist account from within Obsidian?

Hi @yalcin,

It’s not supposed to work in an iframe. Dynalist is just following the OAuth2 spec, which recommends against allowing login via iframe to prevent click-jacking.

You may find a few services using OAuth2 that allow iframes, but any major company that takes security seriously is going to follow the recommendations and block it.
(Good job, Dynalist :wink:)

Perhaps someone could write an Obsidian plugin to handle the OAuth flow and retrieve the token natively inside of Obsidian.
The plugin would need to open a new browser window and still have you login normally, outside of an iframe. But then you should be able to return to Obsidian and refresh the iframe after login.

Toggl Plan iframes nicely, as well as Toggl Track if you are into project management of this flavor.

I started to use CryptPad for collaboration on texts. It supports pure markdown, but the best is that i can write in there from inside Obsidian.

Wow, this is nice! Are they working good?

I’ll be trying OmniFocus for the web tomorrow!

Does it work for you?

ProWritingAid works wonderfully in an iFrame. Adjust the height and width to your satisfaction. Here’s how I instantiate:

<iframe
	border=0
	frameborder=0
	height=800
	width=800 
	src="https://prowritingaid.com/en/Analysis/Documents/Go">
</iframe>

OmniFocus for the web does work in an iframe, although you have to close the left bar for some space. Handy to be able to link to the inbox.

A large number of brownie points to anyone can shed some light on this as it would allow me to embed the Kindle Cloud reader in Obsidian.

I can get Kindle Cloud Reader to show up in iFrame in Obsidian using the standard iFrame code. (Note that you must log in.)

<iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://read.amazon.com/"></iframe>

However, there is a Library button that shows up in the browser, Chrome, for example, that does not show up in Obsidian. See screen clips below. Once you get into a book you cannot go back to the Library without this button.

In Chrome:

In Obsidian:

Obsidian 0.12.3
Windows 10 Pro 20H2, OS build 19042.985
Surface Pro 5

Addendum: By exposing the Inspector, I was able to to clear the session and cache re-login to Cloud Reader, getting back to the Library. Can one invoke clearing the session and cache from a Button, perhaps? This would still be cumbersome, of course, but better then opening the inspector each time.

I find that OF for web steals focus from the rest of the app all the time so I can’t use it. Did you find that as well?

I stopped because the load time was too slow on opening the document.

I’m successfully interacting with my private Trello content in Obsidian, thanks to @Floran!

His plugin: Convert URL to preview (iframe) has a pop-up that allows me to navigate through the ‘Log in’ process, after which the content previews correctly.

Below is what I’m using for the embed code, but as a noob, I’d be happy for any improvements/suggestions.

For folks interested in music, I just found http://xenpaper.com, an in-browser ‘text-based microtonal sequencer’. It’s fun to just type in pitches as numbers (or ratios or Hz) – a bit of a time sink. I think each thing gets saved in the url. This is something I was playing around with for example:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://xenpaper.com/#embed:(bpm%3A30)%0A(osc%3Asine)%0A(env%3A9959)%0A%0A%7Br170Hz%7D%0A%0A%5B0%2C_7%2C_14%2C_16%2C_24%5D---28%0A%5B4%2C_12%2C_14%2C_19%2C_23%5D--%0A%5B5%2C_8%2C_12%2C_14%2C_19%5D----.24%0A%5B2%2C_14%2C_16%2C_17%2C_21%2C_26%5D---%0A%5B%605%2C_8%2C_14%2C_16%2C_17%2C_28%5D--%0A%5B5%2C_9%2C_12%2C_16%2C_28%5D-%0A%5B7%2C_10%2C_12%2C_14%2C_26%5D-24%0A%5B%6010%2C_12%2C_14%2C_17%2C_24%5D--.%0A%5B%607%2C_14%2C_17%2C_21%2C_24%5D---.26%0A" title="Xenpaper" frameborder="0"></iframe>

How do you do this? No iframe allows me to open my CryptPad files from Obsidian, I have an embedded popup that says something like ‘cannot open pop-up windows’. The only thing it allows me to do is create folders. Would you share the iframe you are using? CryptPad is really awesome
