Embedded Web Page in EZ Page?

I need to 'embed' a web page into an EZ Page. This web page is actually more of a 'website', consisting of numerous files, so I can't just put the HTML code into the EZ Page.

So that this can be better understood, here's a link to the 'website' to which I'm referring:

https://www.rayfield.net/photo_gallery

I would like to be able to 'display' this website in an EZ Page.

Is there any way to do this?

An alternative to this would be a good quality photo gallery that is well integrated with Zen-Cart. I just want to be able to display photos, not sell them, so putting them in the catalog is not an option. I want this to look like a photo gallery, in an EZ Page (or some other similar page), where my heading, left column, and footer, are all visible.

Does anyone know of an image or photo gallery that would achieve what I'm after?

If the page in question is html you should be able to paste ONLY the html code for it that exists between the body tags

You might have some path issues to correct

You could also place it inside an iframe on the EZ page. The usual caution about not using iframes with Zencart doesn't apply here, because you're only using it to provide a look at another website.

As I already stated in my post, there's more than just HTML, so that won't work.

Re: Embedded Web Page in EZ Page?

That sounds like a possible solution. I'm not familiar with using iframes, so I'll read up on it and see if that works.

Re: Embedded Web Page in EZ Page?

Just a note - you can make the pictures "Document-General" type, and they will not have any pricing, add to cart, etc. They can also be segregated into another sidebox menu (Documents) and not appear in the categories sidebox.
This wouldn't be a "gallery", though, just another listing. The display can be set to be different from the regular product listing.

Re: Embedded Web Page in EZ Page?

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion. But, it really need to 'look' like a gallery, like the page that I have now (that doesn't show inside Zen-Cart).

Yes, I appreciate that. I just wanted the information out there in case it was useful for anyone reading the thread. The iframe is probably the best thing for you.

Re: Embedded Web Page in EZ Page?

I found this thread that gave a link to using iFrames:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74970

I'm using jAlbum to create the gallery (super-simple to use and looks very professional). An iFrame displays this gallery perfectly (just had to play with several size settings to get it to look exactly the way I want it to look.

Here's the result: https://www.rayfield.net/photo-gallery

Thanks!
