Easy embed template

[DivaVocals]

yes ,I understand that when you go to shoppingbasics.com/shop.html then from there it will be zencart,and thats what i want to make It easier to blend zencart Into original site however I must be missing something because I have tried what you said and it still is not working brain dead for tonight back at It tommorow morning ,Thank's

I think you are missing the point of this mod.. This is simply a Zencart template. Nothing more nothing less.. The difference in this template is that unlike other ZenCart templates which may include template graphics and such.. This template allows you to style your shopping cart to look like an existing website using simple HTML. It does this by allowing you to embed the shopping cart within an html template file. Just like you do not access any other Zencart template by entering in the URL of the template files, you do not "SEE" the result of using this template by directly accessing the template embed file you create. You would "SEE" the result when you access your ZenCart.

For example: Your site URL is http://yoursite.com, the ZenCart URL is http://yoursite.com/shop. You would create your shop.html file for this template. Within your shop.html file you will insert the imbedding code where ever you want the template to display Zencart. If you have a navigation structure which is used throughout your main site, and you want that navigation "wrapped" around ZenCart, you would include the navigation code in your shop.html page. So you will include your navigation code, and the code to call Zencart placed where you want the cart to appear. When you go to your store's URL you will see your cart within your site's navigation. So for example if you had a top & bottom navigation bar throughout your site, and you used this template to "wrap" them around your store, the result would be like so:

=====Sitewide Top Navigation Bar=====


Zencart will appear here


====Sitewide Bottom Navigation Bar======

If you haven't done so already, you need to read this ENTIRE thread to REALLY get the gist of how this is supposed to work.. When I did this, it became CLEAR to me how this worked. With one small glitch (I downloaded the wrong version of this contrib the first time) it worked BEAUTIFULLY. I am using it on a current project because I had a situation where I needed to make a Joomla site work with ZenCart (I REFUSED to use VirtueMart ). Based on this experience, I am IN LOVE with this template contrib.. I can see all KINDS of way I will continue to use this template.. I can see how I could even use it as a standalone template..

yes ,I understand this and that's what I have done but the embed code that I you put Inside the body is not bringing up my zencart it's just blank .

so this is what I have shop.html in my website with the embed code In It ,then Inside my zencart folder which is in my root I have In the Includes/templates/Sanguine Easy embed template/common/embed_cfg,html_header,and tpl_main_page /css/jscript/templates folders
and in admin set template also

What you must understand is shop.html will never work as you zen cart. this mod its not whats its for.
it will only change the appearance of your zen cart directory.

[ogie56]

yes, I understand that but what I'm saying is when I put this , <div id="content"><!-- START EMBED -->
<!-- END EMBED --> In the shop.html body it does not link to the zencart which is in my root so in the embed_cfg it should be: $zc_temp = 'shop.html';and that is inside common folder so what this is does is when i go to to my website in my nav. i create a link to shop.html and it should show zen cart in the body , which i take your basic stylesheet and redesign that to match my other html pages and everthing is good. but some how I'm not getting how to link it right . because if i create a link to zencart there would be no reason to make the shop.html or what ever you want to call it ,and you would just have an external link ,which is what i was doing . . thank's for your help and sorry i called it a mod.

I'm interested in seeing the changes from your stable version though...

So I have just finally uploaded to the downloads section. And it has a pretty new read me file w/ how to form urbanix.
other then that there are no changes.

JOsh

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.

Well it looks like you are now working with the stylesheet and other Zen Settings, and it's getting closer.. I still think you would be WAYYYYY better off doing this whole site in ZenCart.. Just a thought.. But good luck to you either way..

[ogie56]

yes,made new html page and now working on stylesheet, but I can't seem to locate where to change the header wrapper to bring it down from the top ,my end up going back to joomla because i already have that designed but I didn't use It because of virumart sucks

I take it now that you FINALLY changed your ZenCart template to select the "sang_embed" template you understand WHY you link to the ZenCart URL and not the shop.html file to "SEE" this ZenCart template??

No worries.. You are very welcome..
