Is the downloads section part of this forum site?

I tried to use svn checkout http://sanguineeasyembedtemplale.goo...com/svn/trunk/ sanguineeasyembedtemplale but I don't get the tree of files that you can see with their browser. What is the name to checkout? sang_embed? zencart?
They're empty when trying a svn co.

Sorry about that. because of the multi environmental manner of the sang embed code I have started a wiki page that has the locations for the different projects. (http://code.google.com/p/sanguineeas...e/wiki/repoMap)
The the trunk is reserved for the eventual editing of the sang_magic, and (conceptual) sang_config_options files.
sorry about the confusion.

Really nice mod, by the way. Thanks a lot for this.

I have to say when I wrote the forum template I was subcontracting for another company and no longer have access to the files. how ever creating a easy embed template for a project seems to take little more knowledge then installing it.
For the phorum branch , I remember it tool learning a bit of the Smarty Template System and doing a couple includes. it only took about an hour really. So it shuld be do able.

I did find one problem using the embed. The shop has a base tag and the embed file has a base tag. The embed file base tag superceded and you may have guessed, the shop couldn't find it's pics.

I had to remove the base tag from the embed file and make all src/href paths start with ../.

Yuck!

I don't know the term "base tag" you have to to explain better. Also when you say 'embed file' do you mean you mark up to be embedded?

Also dejavu,
are you using the ver of the Sang embed from the repo?

By base tag I mean the html base tag:

HTML Code:

---

<base href="http://www.wantedgaming.com/shop/" />

---

What is the repo?

Repository perhaps??

I figured respository. I didn't know if he meant the downloads section. I just clicked on the link in this thread.

Repo. is the common abbreviation for a version control repository. sorry.

also, unless Google has programed their http servers to see a linking to a repo via a browser as an svn export. clicking on the link for SVN repos wont work.

i've run into a small problem with the template. the problem is related to the fact that the template puts a ../ in front of all links in the html file to make them work. this works great UNLESS you have a mailto link.

the mailto link now reads http://www.site.com/mailto:[email protected]

any ideas how to deal with this?

thanks,

Disclaimer: I KNOW that it's not recommended to use "mailto" links.. As a practice I do not use them for my client's sites, and opt for a contact forum instead.. I already went through the CONS of this with my client and the Flash designer.. However, the Flash designer still wanted his site credit pointing to an e-mail address.. **sigh**

So that said here's how to fix the above issue:
Comment out the following lines in your "embed_config" file as follows:.

Code:

---

//JTS replace hrefs to point above catalog, but not the href for the style sheet! or http links!
//$sitetemplate=preg_replace('/href="/si', 'href="../', $sitetemplate);
//$sitetemplate=preg_replace('/href="..\/..\//si', 'href="../', $sitetemplate);
//$sitetemplate=preg_replace('/href="..\/http/si', 'href="http', $sitetemplate);

---

I probably didn't have to comment all three lines out, but since I didn't know which specific line in this code block governs the replacement of the "mailto" links, I commented them all out, and tested my site.. So far everything is still working..
