iframe not appearing in extension

Report · May 25, 2018

Hi guys. I am wondering if you guys have any ideas why the iframe is not appearing.

I have an external page on a separate web server appearing in an iframe on the extension but everything works just fine with debug mode on (meaning iframe does appear). I am using PS CC 2018. I signed it and my buddy tested it but it does not appear on his computer which is running PS CC 2017. The panel shows but the iframe is missing. I ran it in my PS CC 2017 and 2015 both signed and unsigned and the iframe is missing. The manifest is set to run in those version of photoshop and the CSXS I am using is version 4 (not sure if that is important).

I've tested it with another webpage thinking it might be the content on the page but it does the same thing and not displaying the content. I am thinking it is the PS CC version and if so, how can a start to approach this?

Thanks for any advice!!

Ok so I figure out the issue and it's not related to the extension. So I am in the wrong place (lol). But just in case someone else runs into this issue and reason that it might be related to the extension, here is what I found.

If the content served up in the iframe is on an HTTPS server then the parent page must originate on an HTTPS server as well. I uploaded the iframe webpage on my HTTP server and it displayed the iframe in the extension. I believe this seems to only applied to chrome because people report that the HTTPS content in an iframe working in firefox but not chrome.

Not sure how I am going to resolve this because I need this on the HTTPS server.
