I have questions about the ZenCart Embed template that you have created.

My understanding is this:

1) I use the ZenCart to create all of my products so that they are in the database, etc.

2) I unzip all of the files into a ZenCart template file say /##############

3) I create an HTML (NON ZENCART) generic "template" file. Say it's called generic.html and uses the stylesheet generic.css For the code for the generic template page I currently have it setup like so:

<head> stuff (incl. javascripts, stylesheet links, etc.)</head>
<body>
Here is set the top of the page navigation, background images, etc.

<!-- START EMBED -->

Zen Cart stuff gets put here.

<!-- END EMBED -->

Here is the stuff for the footer of the page that I created in HTML, including footer navigation

</body>

4) I load the template file (the ############## one), and point it to generic.html ??? Is that correct?

Does generic.html have to be in any specific directory?

I was not clear on your other post, does this setup preferr that the ZenCart files are in the root, or in a /store directory?

Now what I want from ZenCart is the product_info stuff, the shopping cart, shipping, & Payment modules. Basically everything BUT the initial homepage (setup currently as index2.html because index.html is nothing but a browser detection Jscript)

Is it possible to specify, or does the ZenCart stuff get embedded in EVERY file? Or does pointing it at generic.html simply create a new template file (or mod the /############## template file)?

Not quite clear in exactly how this all gets put together.

Thanks for any help!
