embedding websites into zen cart

Hi all i am a hobbyist and am learning web design and zen cart :) and what better way to learn than by creating a zen cart website. please bare with me as i have only being learning for 6 months :wacko:

I have started to create a web designer site (started with the rubik integration template) which in a fair few years will become a start for what i want to achieve, and something i can look back on where i started.

Now with the blurb over,

what i am looking to do is show examples of certain basic website templates in frames , e.g if you go to http://website-designer-oxford.co.uk and then for instance click on basic 2 page website, i want to be able to show a live example underneath where it says examples.

Could anyone point me in the direction of where to start or tell me if this is at all possible.

Well it must be possible as i have wordpress integrated here
http://website-designer-oxford.co.uk/blog/

that is what i want to achieve but with websites :)

Re: embedding websites into zen cart

Frames is an antiquated design tool
ZenCart will not function properly in a frame

If only for ZenCart designs see the implementation at this site & select demo these are only for demo purposes

Re: embedding websites into zen cart

Thanks for the quick reply kobra, i have seen kurois site many times and sat there looking at it for hours and thinking lol.

What i want to do is very different though as i want to put a demo in the zen cart page eg :-

for the full flash site section could i put this
http://website-designer-oxford.co.uk/demos/flash/pizzatemplate/
on the zen cart page (obviously with a bit of css editing)

Re: embedding websites into zen cart

You can try making those as external links or possibly internal links in ZenCart ezpages

Re: embedding websites into zen cart

Again. I would remove the fram from your main site,

Try pasting just the body code into an ezpage for any html page

As it appears that you are selling from this site, frames will break the purchase payment functions

Yhere are several pages involved in checkout....
Your cart does not/should not be in any frame at all

Its not the cart that is in a frame, it is a frame that is in the cart.
