Easy embed template

[DivaVocals]

Sorry, this question was asked a couple of times, but I just wanted to get to the bottom of it. Tameron and Stargre in recent posts both alluded to the fact that the left and right sidebars don't appear for them. That's the "problem" that I seem to have as well (if it is a problem). Were the sideboxes removed by design or have I made a mistake somewhere? I just see colored boxes on the right and left with nothing inside of the side boxes. The rest of the page looks fine. I know the side boxes are turned on because when I switch back and forth between the Sanguine and the Classic Contemporary Green, the side boxes show up in the Classic template but not the Sanguine template. (I have the sample data loaded from the Zen installation process.)

Thanks to all for sharing various tips and info. I think this is definitely a great "template" (I've read everything from beginning to end!) with lots of possible valuable uses. JOsh, I respect and appreciate your commitment to this, going back all the way to '06!

They're not removed by design at all.. On the site I created and used this template with the sideboxes are off by design (because that's the layout my client wanted).. Of course I am using the older version of this template, and based on the posts, the "problem" with the sideboxes seems to be isolated to the latest version of this template.. If I recall correctly, one of the folks reporting this sidebox issue was able to work fine by installing the older version of this template. (I'll have to read back through the posts a little bit)

Thanks for confirming! That helped me narrow down where to look for the problem. For the benefit of anyone else who runs into this problem of sidebars disappearing when installing this template (which goes to show my amateur knowledge of Zen Cart), it is probably nothing to do with a faulty Sanguine template install, but rather something that happens frequently when installing any kind of template. Apparently, you have to reset the controller boxes by going to Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller, then scroll to the bottom and push the little "Reset" button. That did the trick.

So in other words, in addition to not forgetting to "turn on" the sang_embed template in the admin, perhaps its important not to forget also to "reset" the layout boxes.

When you turn on a new template that zen cart does not come with it has not side box data, so you have to turn them on.
Its like this with any new template that you add to zen cart.

Thanks for the information.. I had sorta forgotten about that.. Maybe this explains why I may not have run into this issue.. I have a "stock" custom template I use as the basis of most of my templates which is based on the "Default" stylesheet.

Hey JOsh,

Thank you so much for this module!!!

I have a simple site through which I am selling tours. I had already designed most of the sight before I settled on Zen Cart for the shopping cart.

This module makes it all work. I can run a basic zen cart within my site, but still have the powerful zen cart back end.

I'm still working through the kinks, including the notorious 'double footer' that I see others have struggled with. But I have a few workarounds that I'm going to try. Overall, though, I'm stoked.

I'll put a link up to my site once it's live.

Just a quick update:
So for the first time in ages I have the funding to work on the 2.0 release of the easy embed template. adn guess what I also have the funding for.
using the css per page code I have the funding to do a markup file per product/page and all that.

I don't have much time but a quick short response to you issue is easy. paths to images and links are all done in a relative format.
try doing them as absolute formats (href="page.html")/(href="/page.html")

good luck
