iFrame - Forbidden error

[andy1234]

I would appreciate you to explain a simple thing - how to pass the system session variabes to the iFrame.

You are right the iframe will be inside other zen pages. Clicking on the map should trigger the root category displayed within the iframe. Clicking on the underlying products within the same category (iframe) should open the products in the same iframe. Only, when the visitor click on the checkpout button, it will jump out to the "normal" zc mode (no iframes).

This "map" mode goes in linw with the normal zc mode (no iframes) when the categories (products) are selected from the sideboxes

You'll need to change it so all your HREF links include the zenid so that the session is maintained in both places.

You'll also have to relax security so that sessions aren't regenerated. But then you run the risk of more than one customer using same session at a given time, which then means one customer can steal another customer's personal/private data. You probably don't want that.

Nevertheless, passing the zenid on all your URLs should link the sessions.

everything works fine, while it required quite a big code modification through all links, buttons etc. I am a bit confused by the session (zenid) on all the links. When I delete cookies, it shows me the zenid on all products (categories). However, after i click on any links, all the '&zenid=....' disappear unless i delete cookies again. I am not talking about iframe links - just normal zc pages. In other words, it shows only once.

Where should i take a look to fix this?

Thanks

i have been browsing some zenid related posts and it seems to be normal to hide the zenid after the 1st click. The reason why i am confused is because it shows on ALL my links on other sites (zen 1.3.5). But this particular installation is 1.3.7. All the settings are the same and all the sites run on the same server.

Are there any changes in 1.3.7 in terms of zenid session behavior?

Yes, that is normal, and entirely intentional and desired for security reasons.
This has always been how it works.

If your older site isn't doing that, then it may have some cookie configuration setting problems or perhaps your domain configuration on your hosting account may be incorrect.

I see you've started another thread on this topic here:

Hi Dr Byte,

Hopefully you can help me. I don't want to use iframes, so instead I pulled all the php code from the zencart index.php file and put it in my new index.php page which already has a fancy header and side navigation menu. I inserted the php code into a table cell.

The following error came up:

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at D:\inetpub\surfworld\onlineshop\test.php:98) in D:\inetpub\surfworld\onlineshop\includes\functions\sessions.php on line 108

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\inetpub\surfworld\onlineshop\test.php:98) in D:\inetpub\surfworld\onlineshop\includes\init_includes\init_templates.php on line 78


Now I understand what it is saying because obviously my new index.php page already has a head, title, body section etc. My problem is that I'm not very good with PHP and I'm not sure what to fix in the code. Are you able to help please?

Thanks
Briohny

rather than try to re-invent the wheel ( the zen cart function )
pull your kool header and columns into ZC that would be MUCH easier

Thanks Merlinpa 1969,

That's what I kind of did but I only pulled them into the index.php file. How do I pull my header and nav menu into zencart so that the shop is displayed with the header and nav menu on every page? Do I have to adjust a template page or something?

Sorry, very amature.

Thanks again.

As for the "headers already sent" message, refer to this FAQ:

Yes - /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php would be the place to do that, as it draws the header of every page.

As for the templating system, there are a number of FAQs to help you:

Ok... so i'm having problems trying to format the layout of my page. I'm trying to customise the area outside of the cart. Using frames would be easy, but I don't want to go down that route.

So far, I edited my tpl_header.php. I can successfully add on any banner, flash banner, logo whatever to the top of the .php script. However, I cannot for the life of me get a left navigation menu to appear.

I have tried tables, breaking down the script and calling as separate include files, div tags & CSS formatting. Nothing seems to work. The top banner displays perfectly but the shop is all out-of-whack when I try to add a left navigation menu.

I have attached a mock of what I want the final shop to look like. As you can see, there is a banner and then a left navigation menu with the cart to the right of this.

Can anyone help me please.
