To install the plugin manually, download the source to your plugin folder, lib/plugins and extract its contents. That will create a new plugin folder, lib/plugins/iframe, and install the plugin.

The folder will contain:

conf/default.php                       default settings
conf/metadata.php                      settings information for the config plugin
lang/xx/lang.php                       language strings for config plugin
syntax.php                             plugin script

Simple:

{{url>http://www.example.com/somepage.html}}

Complete Syntax:

{{url>someurl width,height noscroll noborder alignment|alternate-text}}

That is an URL to embed, followed by several optional parameters. The following parameters are recognized:

• width and height are optional. When only one value is given it is assumed to be the height. Otherwise the first value is width and the second value is height. You can give the values in px, em, pt or %. When no unit is given px is is NOT assumed (you have to give the value). Defaults values are: width - 98%, height - 400px.
• noscroll will disable the scrollbars of the iframe
• noborder will disable the frame border, note that your CSS might still add borders or may disable them without using this setting
• Optionally an alignment can be given as left or right to have the iframe floating to the left or right. Should be used with a width.
• An alternate text is optional. If not specified an empty string will be used.

See the plugin in action here.

The plugin has one configuration setting, which can be set via the admin/configuration settings page.

• $js_ok — default value - false, set to true to enable JavaScript URLs.

This should never be enabled in public wikis as it opens a XSS security hole.

The plugin was created in response to an idea mentioned by Styno.
