I just did a fresh default install of zencart, adding only the easy embed templates.
When I switch to the embed template I get
' . $sitetemplate_bottom);
?>
output to the very top of the page before the <!DOCTYPE... declaration. This happens if my store.html template is present or not.
So it's a dead end to me. I have no idea how to fix that.

I don't know what I'm looking at at that link you gave. Is this an alternate method of embedding the store into my html design?
My suggestion to you is to read this ENITRE thread.. There is some good information in here.. Including this threadQuote:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...7&postcount=94 is where Josh tells me the reason for the issue, :lookarounand then finally
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...3&postcount=93 is the thread where you need to go to download the latest version of this template contrib.. It will resolve the problem with the strange code that you are having.. :smartalec: (If you downloaded the template from Josh's website, you have an older version of it..)
Good luck.. I am IN LOVE with this contrib.. It's given me a WHOLE world of new ideas for Zen..:clap:
....mutter...grumble...hundreds of posts...won't work...developer doesn't even have it right on his website...could have done it all by hand by now..mutter..hey...Quote:

BINGO!
omg. I thank you. My hair thanks you. I will witness. This is WONDERFUL. I was *this* close to scrapping Zen Cart altogether. I mean, the override system is nice and impressively complicated and all but I can't be at fiddling with it whenever I change the looknfeel, which will be often as this is an art site and must look, well, arty and fresh and change frequently.
This is the answer. :clap:
In Josh's defense he FREELY admits that the version on his site is not the most updated version.. I don't care as long as he sticks around to support this nifty little contrib, and we know where to find the latest version..:smile:Quote:

For the site I'm working on now, to coordinate the cart's look with the site's look, I had to use a few overrides.. You don't need to update your overrides every time you change your sites look. Once you have your overrides in place, you should only need to change your stylesheet and graphics to change the store's look..Quote:

to kent and DivaVocals,
I thank you and understand the talk your having. however I am getting married in under two weeks. basically I am not able to provide the most fresh code.
My web site is unfortunately going the way of the shoe makers son. It was written before I discovered drupal, and it is written in a proprietary CMS that I made for my self.
Do you two think this is worth me setting up a source forge project page?
that way you could install form the SVN and update easier and stuff. its up to you.
DivaVocals, thank you for providing the support here. I am way to busy at the moment to be any real help.

No apologies necessary.. Just took giving Kent the same nudge you gave me to point him to the latest version of the code.. :smile: Weddings are a bear so I understand that you've been somewhat out of the loop so to speak.. Just as long as we know where to find you, we're all good!!:yes:Quote:

His site is BADLY in need of some TLC (okay truth be told it needs an OVERHAUL!!!:blush:), and unfortunately I let it go by the side of the road.. It was a project site I did for a web design class I took years ago.. So can you say OUTDATED??!!!:laugh:
I think it's time for a Source Forge Project Page.. You get my vote!:bigups:Quote:

I too am very impressed with this little beauty! Maybe a code snippet could be developed to embed Zen-Cart in remote websites?
I vote in favor of a SourceForge project!
I am back,
and yes my honey moon was good, but a month w/o pay (freelancers dont get paid vacations) and the work progress slow down has been painful,
so it took em 3 weeks to do but here it is. the currently pending project on source forge. Please PM me if you would like to get SVN write access. once it is up.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eazyemb/
as for
You could embed Zen in remote web sites w/ a hack on the configuration.php and a mysql server is that is open to remote connections, w/o the east embed template.Quote:

I will put together a new package and add it to the repo. And I will also add it to the download section of the site.
