Does Google OAuth work inside an iframe? - oauth

I was wondering if Google's OAuth works from within an iframe? I tried looking this up but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so any insight would be appreciated!
Background: When I use my web-app with Google OAuth inside a normal window it's fine but when I try it inside an iframe it just takes me to a blank page instead of letting me select which account I'd like to sign in with.
Thanks for your help!

Integrating Plaid API on Front End?

My buddy and I are learning coding and are integrating Plaid's API currently. We've built out most of UI view controllers for our onboarding and sign up pages but are a bit confused about how Plaid's API ties into this.
We know from using other apps that on the front end there's a page or two dedicated to connecting the user's bank account, do we need to design the UI for this or does the API include this?
Thanks a lot!

Plaid's API includes this, it's called Plaid Link. You can see what it looks like here: https://plaid.com/demo/

Creating a "pop out window" for user login

I've searched stackoverflow as well as google and can't seem to find a specific enough answer, so I thought I would go ahead and ask it myself!
To provide some background: I am a fairly new rails developer and I've just created a basic app albeit it is lacking some wanted functionality. So far I have integrated Devise, and Omniauth for user login. However, I'd like to have a "pop out window" when users click 'Login' instead of being re-directed to an actual Login page.
If you click on the login button on this website you will see what I am referring to: http://geckodesigns.kinja.com/so-i-bought-a-firetruck-252516685
What sort of Ruby or perhaps Java code would one have to use to implement such functionality?
I look forward to reading your answers!
You could use something like jQuery UI Dialog for this.
Here's the website for jQuery UI. There's also a Rails gem that wraps this library and makes it quite easy to put in your project. You can find that gem on github here.
Suppose you have a login page: html/login.html
In original page:
<a onclick='popupLoginWindow'>Login</a>
JavaScript:
function popupLoginWindow(){
window.open('html/login.html');
}

How can I get it work: Embedding Twitter's Web Intent

Normally Web Intent is used as a pop-up. According to Twitter, it also provides embedding functionality.
"Some sites may prefer to embed the unobtrusive Web Intents pop-up Javascript inline or without a dependency to platform.twitter.com. The snippet below will offer the equivalent functionality without the external dependency."
The snippet can be found at https://gist.github.com/894540#file_intents.html
See: http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents
However, I can't get this snippet work. I copied the snippet(JavaScript) code to an html file and open that in a browser. Nothing happened! What should I do to make it work?
I had the same problem during NYC Startup Weekend.
The snippet they provide does open up the Twitter popup, as required, but the ability of the Twitter popup window to pass a message back to your web page is a little more complicated. You will need to understand how their widgets.js code works and reproduce what's necessary to set up the RPC framework. My short-term workaround was to include a slightly modified (un-obfuscated) version of widgets.js that would not replace my button with theirs.
I will be tackling this in a week or two, if you can wait.
... or you can just include their widgets.js directly :)
Welcome to the vague world of the Twitter API documentation.. I think you're misunderstanding, no small part to the incredibly poor wording on the API page:
Embedding that javascript code allows you to open the twitter web intent pages in a "twitter style" popup without requiring a dependency on platform.twitter.com. It does not allow you to embed a twitter intent.
You can see it at work by adding that javascript and then adding the following to your page
<p>New</p>
Clicking "New" will open it in a popup. Remove the javascript, and clicking "New" will navigate the page away to the tweet box.
It's incredibly frustrating to me they don't, at least to my knowledge, allow for proper embedding. I know why they oped for this method, but it's frustrating none the less.

multi-friend-selector action does not break out of iframe

we have a facebook app and every time a user invites a friend the application redirects to the "action" URL but it's always facebook inside of an iframe. For the life of me I've tried every combination of URL's for the action, but it just won't break out of the frame.
Any idea how to avoid this?
Thanks,
Chad
problem resided inside our usage of the mini_fb library. works now. nice library.
