I embedded my Bookerville booking calendar into my website here: http://www.casadoschivos.com/Reservations.php It makes no sense to me to have a link to my website when the user is already there. I'm referring to the text "Availability & Booking Calendar for Casa Dos Chivos". It would be nice to be able to keep the text but remove the link. The link is also embedded in the image above this text. If a customer were to click on this link they would be taken to the home page of my website (within the iframe). The calendar would be gone and the customer is left staring at my homepage within the iframe of the www.casadoschivos.com/Reservations.php page and might be confused as to how to get back to where they were.

Good point. As default behavior, we think it's a good practice to have those links there, in case customers somehow end up on the public booking calendar outside the context of an embedded page.

But I think we can include a URL parameter that can override this for embedded calendars, so that the header image and property name are not links. How does that sound?

Sounds perfect!

Super! Ok, when the 4.07 release rolls out (hopefully today or this weekend), this will be available. You will want to add a parameter to your calendar iframe URL like this:

embedded=true

So the iframe code will look something like this:

<iframe src='http://www.bookerville.com/CalendarDisplay?property=20&months=4&embedded=true' width=817 frameborder=0>Your browser does not support iframes. Click here for the <a href='http://www.bookerville.com/CalendarDisplay?property=20&months=4'>Availability & Booking Calendar</a></iframe>

It will do no harm to go ahead and put this in place now, it just won't have any effect until the 4.07 release.

Let us know if you need any help, Ok?
