Adding Catalog Request Form in EZ Page or iFrame

Hi All,
I have searched and searched these forums and really can't find a solution to my problem.

I have added a catalog request form using EZ Pages but according to what I've read it will not work.

So how can I get it to work? I think the ideal situation would be an iFrame and pull in the page from elsewhere but I can't seem to find anything about being able to do this in ZC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Running: Zen Cart 1.3.8a

Re: Adding Catalog Request Form in EZ Page or iFrame

are you providing the catalog in PDF format or is it need to be shipped to customers ?

Zen Cart and frames don't play well together.

Re: Adding Catalog Request Form in EZ Page or iFrame

Nevermind, I got it to work.

Use the instructions in the first post here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37252

It all sounds very confusing at first but really it is not.

Just place the code in the file as directed. The key is to change the word "allowcode" to the file name of the form processor being used and then change the character amount (,0,4) as directed

In my case I grabbed the code from this site: formtoemail.com/formtoemail_free_version.php and modified it to work for me and named the file "form.php" so I changed "allowcode" to "form" and "9" to "4"

$titlecheck=substr($var_pageDetails->fields[pages_title],0,4);
if ($titlecheck=="form"){
