Surfacing a SmartForm through a SharePoint page using iFrame?

We're looking to make access to one of our SmartForms seemless by surfacing the SmartForm through a SharePoint Online page. I've used iFrame successfully in the past with SharePoint, but when I try it with a K2 URL it appears to just display a blank white space.

 

Is this something that is possible, if so, how is best to go about doing it?

 

Thanks

Hi,


 


Out of curiosity,  does it work if you use the SharePoint Page Viewer webpart? The K2 for SharePoint integration has two out-of-the box webparts (K2 Smartforms Viewer and K2 Worklist). If the environment is already integrated with K2 for SP app, then I would recommend using the K2 Smartforms Viewer webpart.

Good day tobym;


 


Is this happening in Internet Explorer or all browsers, perhaps if you are experiencing this in IE 


then there is an IE setting that is disallowing this as per:

Some possible reasons from this article includes:


1. you access Sharepoint site over HTTPS, while references side (K2) is opened via HTTP or vise versa

2. external web site uses cookies which are blocked in IE. It can be fixed by adding P3P header in the response from external site, see Cookie blocked/not saved in IFRAME in Internet Explorer


 


3. check if it is related to IE security settings to prevent the cross site scripting:

4. Checking the current IE Document mode, Intranet/Trusted Zones, Compatibility Settings
