Break-Out-Of-Frames WordPress Plugin

January 5th, 2006 by George Notaras

This must be the smallest and simplest plugin (if one can name it that way) ever made for WordPress. What it does is the addition of a small piece of javascript code to the head of each web page, so that it can break out of foreign frames. Anyway, I just consider it as an example plugin for educational purposes.

This javascript code is not compatible with the live preview feature of the WordPress editor area. Some checks should be done, so that this code is not executed when editing posts or previewing drafts. The usage of the is_preview() template function would be more appropriate, but, due to some issues, the checks are being made against the server variables. When these issues are resolved, the previously mentioned function will be used.

Installation

Just copy the break-out-of-frames.php file in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate through the administration panel.

Version 0.3 is out. WordPress 2.1 users please upgrade.

Thanks to Nicki for reporting a bug when the plugin was used in WP 2.1. When editing a static page, the “break-out-of-frames” code caused the page to escape from the preview in the WordPress editor.

This is now fixed.
