How To Make PFREtours Look Like You Are Hosting Them In Your Domain
May 25th, 2010
We’ve had requests to make PFREtours look like they are hosted in the tour creators domain. There are typically two reasons you want to do this:
- Some real estate photographers want to resell pfretours to their clients. When you do this you’d like to have the tour in your domain and not have your clients go around you an purchase pfretours directly.
- There are some MLSs that require tours be “certified” and that certification paperwork needs to be filed by the owner of the domain where the tours are hosted. We at PFREtour.com don’t want to have to file the certification paperwork for every MLS that has this requirement.
It’s quite easy to make PFREtour.com tours appear as though they are in your domain. You use the iFrame HTML tag. To demonstrate this I’ve setup one of my PFREtours (www.pfretour.com/19) to appear as though it is hosted in my lohrman.com domain.
Here’s how to do that:
- Create a minimum basic web page.
- Insert the following HTML code into the the file between the <body> and the </body> tags:
<div id=”main”> <iframe src=”http://pfretour.com/19/” frameborder=”0″ width=”100%” height=”900px” scrolling=”no” style=”border:none; marginwidth=”0″ marginheight=”0″
noresize=”noresize” frameborder=”0″ /></div> - You will have to change the “/19″ which is the number of my tour to the number of your tour.
- Actually a very simple way to do this whole process is to just save this page http://lohrman.com/7318Fairway.html to your desktop and then change the “19″ (the tour number) to your tour number, name the file what you want and put it on your website.
- Name your HTML file what ever you want. My HTML file is called ”7318Fairway.html” so when I put it in the highest level directory of my lohrman.com domain, it is accessed by the URL http://lohrman.com/7318Fairway.html.
So when people go to http://lohrman.com/7318Fairway.html there is no indication that this tour is being hosted by pfretour.com as long as you also remove the “Powered by: PFREtour.com” which you can do by purchasing the $5 private branding tour addon.
Thanks to Jim Gross of Albuquerque, NM for finding this solution for us.
Update 5/26/2010: Thanks to reader Kevin at vividexposures.com that says say if you add the HTML tags highlighted in red in number 2 above it will prevent a border that shows in Internet Explorer.

I have been doing some websites recently using SiteGrinder 3. Adding some external content using iframes caused a border to show in internet explorer. I ended up looking all over the web for the fix below. I forget which one actually fixed it.
