here the widget width was set to 500px, but I can not see how I can widen it.
Maybe I have to adjust the widget size itself.

The ProZ calendar itself wasn't really built to be embedding friendly - what you really need to do is run it through a page or so of PHP (or similar - PHP's one I teach regularly, and the one WordPress itself is built in) then you get something more compact.

Fortunately, I was feeling bored and/or helpful, and wrote one.

Quick demo here: [url removed]

The colours, font and text size can all be customised using your own CSS - indeed, embedded on your site, it will automatically inherit the font used for the rest of the page anyway. I'll post some instructions after a bit more polishing.

For the moment, that demo page (which I'm still developing, so don't be surprised if it stops working at times!) just uses a static copy of Luke's availability; once finished, it'll pull the live data from the ProZ server for whichever user is using it.

In Wordpress it depends on your theme and whether it allows changing the size of the widget or column. You would need to go back to the theme's documentation. Taking a look at your site I can see you are using the right column, which is probably not going to be wide enough for the calendar. You might need to put in the page itself.

Take a look at [url removed] under the heading "Iframe - Set Height and Width". You can set the size of the window and adjust it until the scroll bars disappear.

(Not quite as elegant an embedding as you'd like; I have a few paying jobs in the queue at the moment, but I'll slot in building a more elegant WordPress widget for doing this later on, unless there's a better "official" ProZ option for it.) [/quote]

Hi James,
I tried what you said, it partially worked but it was too small.
I am trying to make it completely visible without having to scroll.

Just wondering, don't you need permission of Proz? It is their calendar. [/quote]

You wouldn't really be taking it, you're just creating a little window on one site to show another. I've done similar things with my profile here, before settling on what I have now :)

Post title: Embedding your ProZ.com calendar

Yes. At the simplest, you can either link to or embed via iframe the URL
[url removed] (I've only put the link here, I don't think the forum itself allows iframes in posts for obvious reasons!)

You could get a bit fancier with filtering and tweaking the appearance easily enough if you want, with a bit of jQuery or PHP for example. (A more elegant solution would be nice, but that would require a bit of help from the ProZ team to achieve.)
