Easy embed template

[EarlyFloyd]

First of all, I would like to thank ########################## for the time and effort involved in creating the script. And, Urbanx for the concise explanation - it is appreciated.

I have have ZenCart installed in a directory named "catalog"
I created an html file called "catalog" with the embed code.

The sang_embed files have been installed under:
/catalog/includes/templates/sang_embed/

The Sanguine Embedded Cart is now the default template as indicated in ZenCart Admin area.

Problem: when attempting to load catalog.php, my layout explodes and the sample data does not show.

Any ideas? I must have some files in the wrong directory?

Thanks!

ok, you've managed to confuse me. where did catalog.php come from? you should be creating an html file (you can call it catalog.html if you like), but you don't access that. just go to yourwebsite/catalog

i hope that makes a bit more sense.

"just go to yourwebsite/catalog"

Yep. That is exactly what I did.

My html file is also named catalog. Sorry for the confusion.

I am still trying to find the problem, but no luck so far.....

first a clarification: Urbanix if you want to call your template file template.php or catalog.php go ahead, the files just needs to have the mark up for your site in it. If you want to have additional php functions running in it please do so.

second a question: EarlyFloyd, could I get a url or a screen shot of what it supposed to look like (you can use lorem ipsom text for where teh ZC is supposed to be), and of what it looks like now.
Also on page 8 of this forum there is an updated release that may fix your issue.

I pm'd the url to you. Almost there... yet for some reason, the html file appears to be loading twice?

I have performed the install again (just to be certain), but am sorry to report that the results are the same as before.

Don't hold your breath, I don't think anyone outside of Brian21 can do that including the author of the easy embed, doing is one thing making it simple for others to understand and showing examples of it working so we can follow the bouncing ball seems to be one of the discouraging parts of this forum. In MHO Zen cart developer's should require any downloads be proven with a demo site like Dr. Byte's and example code that works for the version of the cart that is intended for, along with the person's who will supply the support and indicate if it's free or cost money. You can spend weeks searching this forum only to find the guy has disappeared or no longer supports his upgrade.

So I read this whole series of rants, and decided to reserve judgement/comments until I had a chance to try this out for myself.

So here's my conclusion: While this solution is certainly not for novices, I am not a coding geek AT ALL, and yet I have managed to effectively, seemlessly and fairly EASILY use this template without nearly HALF the drama of the chas1 husband and wife team.. I certainly hope that they finally worked out their issues, but IMO, this is an AWESOME contribution and merely requires some understanding of some ZenCart basics in order to use it..

BTW - Urbanx's instructions are my BIBLE for using this contribution..
