Easy embed template

Were you aware you have this:

anomalyrecords/store.html

instead of this:

anomalyrecords/catalog/store.html

As you can see, the second one is in-line with the path stated:

'/home/content/o/v/e/USERNAME/html/clients.overthehillweb.com/anomalyrecords/catalog/store.html'

Yep.. I tried the embed file from BOTH locations and neither location works. and yes I do have the embed file in the correct location -- in fact right now it's in BOTH locations:
anomalyrecords/catalog/store.html
http://clients.overthehillweb.com/anomalyrecords/catalog/store.html

anomalyrecords/store.html
http://clients.overthehillweb.com/anomalyrecords/store.html

With regards to the 1st link, I am LESS concerned about the graphics not showing up.. I can easily fix that.. What I need to get working is for Zen to sit inside my store.html page.. (In ANY location)

JOsh, as promised, double latte moccachino (or whatever they are serving these days) is on me.

and Yes, everybody who has downloaded your module and benefited from it should consider the amount of time and effort you have put into it.... that shouldn't go unrewarded...

and for DivaVocals, I was having the same problem with absolute paths, so I decided to have everything "nearby" (an images-cart folder, etc) for the page that the cart would have to show through and most important see what I used in the config file (no absolute path!!)... take a look at my post (#332) perhaps that would help...

I started out using the absolute path from the Zen Cart configure.php file (which is explicitly stating what you posted in #332). When that didn't work, I tried a number of plausible and implausible alternatives) None of which worked. (I now have it set back to the absolute path)

I seem to have a very different issue than you.. My issues is not with with individual page elements from my embed file not appearing due to the wrong path in the config file.. My ENTIRE embed file does not appear at all.. Broken URL links or image links are easy to fix, but if you look at the HTML source of my cart NOTHING from my embed file is there at all (images, CSS, etc)..

I just want to get to the point where I can get Zen Cart to embed into my store.html file using version 2.0. (as I have said, getting things to work with version 1.1 is no problem..)

Diva,
I think it may be an as php might have a different root setting then the root of the machine.
How ever if there was not file detected you would be getting an error.
What version of php is running on your server. I have written the new version of easy embed in php 5 in a very strict OO method.
I am m wondering if it (One) that it does not work in a php 4 environment, and (2) if you are running php 4 (really you should upgrade if you are)

:clap: I was starting to suspect it was some server software issue..

Yes I am running php 4 (from Admin > Tools > Server/Version Info
PHP Version 4.3.11

Can't control the upgrade.. Will have to ask hosting co about that.. Anyway to make this work in my present world until then??

Not with out significant knowledge of php scripting in the area of writting classesGood to know.. for now I'll continue to use v 1.1.. Thanks for the assist..:smile: Mystery appears to be solved..

I think I'm missing something here:

Some Where in your html file, you need to put three very specific lines of text. WHERE you put them is up to you, but they must be together and they must be exact. The thing to know is that it goes in the body of the file, and that it goes where you want your Zen Cart to go.

>  
> Start embed -- end embed, where's the 3 lines you're talking about? :unsure:It would help a lot if you posted a link to your site and the exact contents of your embed HTML file..

Josh, huge thank you for this code! I have seem to hit one last brick wall in my setup. For the life of me I cannot seem to correct the page title for the home page. Any tips? I have changed the meta_tags.php but it doesn't seem to be working.:no:

Umm you barking up the wrong tree with meta tags this template does not affect them.

So it is not the one that needs changing in the includes-languages-english-sang-embed-meta-tags.php included in your zip file?

you know you are quite right, I was laying in bed and I realized that I had added that file.

Sorry if the problem is off your topic in this thread. I was thrilled that I was able to use your embed template, and am really stumped by the issue of the page title. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it with no luck. Anyway will try to find a solution elsewhere on the forum. Thanks again for the template.

A year ago I would have been able to answer you question in a flash, how ever I have moved onto greaner pastures and don't realy do new Zen Carts for clients needing e-com software and as that is a new site issue I just don't remember
Sorry. how ever I believe you may want to look in the index pages language file. I think I remember that having some over riding properties.
Also for the record I have started doing all new e com sites in UberCart. Its templating system is so much better then Zen Cart and its way more flexible in terms of layout and customization. there is a little Higher learning curve to it. But its way nicer I only have 2 site left that I do regularly that uses Zen Cart and only one uses the sang embed system.
the community is younger and smaller but the the devs are more friendly.

I'm starting a new project and I'm really interested about this... I read the readme and the beginning of this topic but I still think I'd use more definitive start up guide.. Any tips or suggestions....

Ask questions where you don't understand, your questions will help make the read me better.
As the developer it is hard to write a read me for a complex piece of software that. I already understand.

Hi guys,

First, thanks go out to everyone involved in this project. I downloaded 2.0a and ZC 1.38 to my virutal server for testing. I installed ZC and then (after a couple tries and reading all the posts/readme) got it mostly working.

My site runs PHP5 with MySQL5 and my own CMS. My sites all use one header.php and footer.php files which are included along with data from the DB. I first attempted to make a simple php file and include my header and footer, but no dice. After reading I decided to create a separate php file instead of using includes(since I saw those won't work). I have everything working but one part... so here goes.

My site navigation is a php script that pulls the pages from the database and prints the html. I know I can't do includes, but I'm also not able to get any prints or echo statements to work. Any idea of a workaround?

I'm not getting any PHP errors, Apache errors, etc. Everything else is working fine.

Did you create a new 'index.htm' file for easyEmbed and provide path to that file within easyEmbed config file?

I find it works best when you put the easyEmbed 'index.htm' file in the same dir. as the Zen Cart 'index.php' file.

are the echo statements not getting parsed, as php? (are you seeing the echo statement in the output?)
Or is nothing showing up at all? where there should be a statement.
