How to embed a Google Groups in a Confluence space ?

Ludovic MOTTINI

To get some kind of free forum, I was hoping to embed a Google Groups in a Confluence page so my users could see it and discuss without leaving Confluence.

I tried the iframe macro but the frame keeps showing a blank page.

I am using Confluence Cloud

An idea ?

Thanks

Hello Ludovic,

Thank you for reaching out to us! Happy to help you determine why your site isn't showing up in the iFrame Macro.

Per the iFrame Macro documentation,

Some websites may show up as blank when you try to include them as part of an iFrame. This could be because:

The website administrators have invoked the x-frame-options response header to prevent browsers from rendering it in an iFrame.
The browser you're using has blocked the website from loading as a security precaution.

As a test, they recommend that you try replacing http:// with https:// at the start of the URL. Could you give that a try?

Regards,

Shannon

Hi Shannon, thank you for your help. I tried. Same thing.

Ludovic,

I tested on my own end and I received an error. I assume this is the same you are seeing?

It may require additional settings in order to embed. I'm not too familiar with Google Groups, but let's try something.

Can you go to click on Manage group and then scroll to the bottom where it says Embedding your group, obtain the embed code from there, and try to embed it using the HTML macro?

Let me know how that goes.

Regards,

FYI the section of code under the 'Embedding your group' works. You can simply copy and paste that into a HTML macro.

HOWEVER confluence 7 server totally removed HTML macro so you will need to create your own variant of HTML macro which is quite simple.
