Easy embed template

[sanguisdesign]

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




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.

Would it be possible to get a hold of that Phourm mod? It'd sure save me a whole lot of headache to avoid having to hack together a shared template for Phorum and Zen Cart.

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 The embed file base tag superceded and you may have guessed, the shop couldn't find it's pics.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?

[sanguisdesign]

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

[dejavu]

By base tag I mean the html base tag:

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

What is the repo?

What is the repo?

Repository perhaps??

[dejavu]

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

[sanguisdesign]

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.

oh yeah, now i remember what i came to this thread for.

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,

d.

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:.

//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..
