    help question Integrate Amazon Store Into Ezy Page?

    Hi,
    I thought this would be pretty straight forward, but seems not..

    I want to integrate an Amazon Book store into my health products site which offers complimentary reading (aka affiliate sales) to the products sold.

    I've just gone through the process as an Amazon affiliate and added all the books I want to feature, and then in Amazon I am selecting the "Embed my store using an inline frame" option to generate the necessary code.

    When I go to the ezy page (linked to the navigation - "Books"), I simply pasted the HTML code in (using "Edit HTML Source") and then "updated".

    Problem is nothing shows up. It's as though the HTML has disappeared.

    What is the problem here? or is it not possible to do?

    Any feedback appreciated.

    BTW.. Her's the code I am embedding.

    You will need to use a defined page.... EZ pages are a bit different as they are generated by the database, not coded so to speak.

    Hi Melanie,
    I tried this on a spare Defined Page and it doesn't work. Same issue as above. I did get some success embedding within a table, but it threw my whole site look out. Any suggestions?

    Did you try to add the code for the iFrame directly to the defined page file =-)

    Put it in a paragraph tag or div.

    Hi Melanie,
    Yes tried paragraph and div - no go. I have put all the code in Dreamweaver and previewed without any problems. This one I have no clue about.

    Here's my code:
    HTML Code:
    <html>
<div>
<iframe src="http://astore.amazon.com/(affiliateID)" width="90%" height="4000" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
</html>
    Thanks for your help.

    Um .... if you were to attempt to run the page through a validator, it's going to complain that you're embedding <html> tags inside the existing <html> tags already put on the page by your template.

    I did try without the html tags in previous testing, so as a natural progression tried it with the HTML tags.

    One doesn't like to bother members unless you try what you can to resolve the issue first (aka search the forum posts/threads).

    I have a saying though.. "You can't know what you don't know". Just look at how many people post looking for answers.

    Now.. any other suggestions as to how to resolve this issue?

    Care to share a URL where this page can be viewed? I would usually look at the source of the page, hunt down through it to the code that's not working, and work my way back to making it work by removing/adding stuff to it in a standalone .html file.

    You said you met with some success by embedding in a table, but gave up on that because it caused a layout problem. I'd be inclined to think that maybe it might have been good to keep going with something that was at least partially working.

    That said, it's always dangerous to embed an iframe inside the middle of your site when you've got a template built-around it. All kinds of layout things can get busted by that iframe. You may not have any other option in this case, but it's worth noting that iframes can be troublesome.

    Im trying to do this too and so far it's working-ish... Create a new EZ page instead of editing an existing one, this solved that problem... Also make sure the iframe code is XHTML instead of just HTML so use <iframe /> instead of <iframe> </iframe>

    In Configuration / EZ Page Settings enter the page ID of the EZ page you want to turn the left/right column off on.

    Im now stuck on this: http://www.electrobiotics.com/Books

    The right column is turned off but the middle of the page doesn't overlap to the right hand side and show the aStore menu... im sure some CSS will sort that out inside a DIV.
