If you go to the Joomla extensions area, and browse through the e-commerce section. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but IMO it seems to me that you are not familiar with writing HTML to execute this the way you are attempting to do this.. I think the modules would be your very best bet..Quote:

<!-- START EMBED -->
<!-- END EMBED -->"
What is the third line?
I have figured this out, but this might be useful for other people who read this thread:
Enter the following lines into your html file...
<div id="content">
<!-- START EMBED -->
<!-- END EMBED -->
</div>
This is actually already posted several time in this thread.. but it couldn't hurt to post it again..:smile:Quote:

Nice idea, but lots to maintain by the forum admins I'm sure which is probably why none of the support threads are structured this way..Quote:

I see what you're getting at - makes a whole lot of sense.Quote:

Heck, I have run into a rather strange problem - everything embeds perfectly - but in the head of the document. The template looks perfect - in fact, everything is perfect, only problem is, the cart itself doesn't work.....
Odd.....perhaps when I get some time, I'll be able to go through and figure out exactly why this is happening.
Perhaps it is nothing that I did....
I went back to the previous version of Easy Embed and everything worked perfectly. For some reason, in my layout, version 2.0 embedded my entire html file in the head of the document. This caused some pretty serious problems!!
Great application...
I will say it again if people would like write access to the files so that they can help with code or documentation, just PM me. the only prerequisite is knowing how to use subversion.
I apologize if I've overlooked this, but I've read through the posts and didn't find any information on it.
I have this installed and working on my site.
Is there a way to include the sidebox modules into my template?
Right now I just have the header, top navigation, two blank columns (left, right), cart contents in the center and a footer.
Is there an embed code or can I still use zen carts sideboxes in my template?
I would like the sideboxes to appear in the blank left and right columns. Maybe I just don't have something right or something not correct in the admin settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
