where do you get stuck?

I'm a new member here but this is exactly what I was looking for however I am still having an issue implementing this process. My current project is https://www.sportsboardscentral.com and I'm looking to insert the cart into this site using the categories I set up... Is this even possible?? I could really use some help clarifying the entire procedure in this thread...thank you all up front

So let me get this straight you have a template that you want embed that cart in. you have set up categories using the zen cart interface. and you want to use the template to link to them?
What part of the install process do you get lost on?

JOsh

Currently I'm getting errors at the top of the cart when I view it like
these:**

Warning**: fopen(../../sbc_template/cart_template.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line 14

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for ../../sbc_template/cart_template.html (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line 15

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line 15

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line **17

**I am unable to get the store to show up in the template using the directions given. The store also got very colorful after installation of the sang_embed Folder elements.

Any info that I can give for your help please don't hesitate to ask...also that was the quickest forum response I have ever received and I would like to thank you for that

looks like you are not pointing it to the file properly.
try using the exact location on the file in relation the the php root directory. this could be diffrent from the site, or users root folder.

The file path seems to be correct but I'll try different possibilities. Out of curiosity...I currently have the template set up with an editable region ( originally a .dwt file converted back to .html for the cart )where I place the <!-- START EMBED -->, <!-- END EMBED --> tags. Should I remove the editable region and insert these tags so they stand alone inside the css container built for my content?? Do you think this would make a difference??

Also in regards to my original question ( I apologize for not being very clear)...once I have this set up is it possible to use my original template drop down menu's (seen on the left side of https://www.sportsboardscentral.com) to link to the categories of items created in ZC??

I am very pleased so far with ZC and will recommend this product to anyone in need of a powerful and user friendly cart. This is my first time using ZC and being apart of the ZC community and I must say I am impressed. Thank You again.

it sounds like your template is ok, again by looking at the errors, it is not able to find the document.
by the way a .dwt file will work fine w/ this program. that was what it was originally written for.

tomorrow I will be intergrating the easy embed template into drupal as well! this means that you will able to control the look adn feel of both drupal and zen cart w/ one file.

Hi,
Just wanted to pop in here real quick to say I think this is a great add-on. Once people understand the flexibility this offers them, demand should really take off. I'll be trying it out for a new client shortly, and am looking forward to a lot more ideas in this forum.

Great job, sanguisdesign, keep it up!

Ok... getting closer. I now seem to have the right file path but I am getting these errors:

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: Stat failed for includes/templates/sbc_template/cart_template.html/ (errno=20 - Not a directory) in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line 15

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/sportsbo/public_html/store/includes/templates/sang_embed Folder/common/embed_config.php on line **15

**What do these mean?

so close I can taste it :clap:

oops I had an unwanted "/" at the end of my path. I've got it....now I just need some tweaking to my css in order to get my layout and drop down menu's to work...this is a great thread...thank you sanguisdesign

post you problem on the forum and ask for help
I will answer it there. that way other can benefit, and we can increase
the documentation.

this template make it easy to embed zen-cart in to almost any site.
just make a template w/ you fave html editor be it Dreamweaver or vim, and place

<!-- START EMBED --> where you want to have the zen cart start to over write code in you template

and
place <!-- END EMBED --> where you want it to stop the cart and put your code
in the embed_config.php located in the common folder
do a search/ replace for YOUR_TEMPLATE/ the direct location of your template from the php root of your machine.
It should work form there.

My wife has read all of this plus all six pages of your post's and the only person who came close to explaining this was brain21 and that was almost clear. I don't think anyone has used this procedure in zc 1.37 or there would be a clear step by step procedure, anyway thanks for the quick reponse and the effort. For now we will stick with the old zen cart.
PS I hate microsoft outlook , vcf files if you must respond please use a standard email other the outlook, if not so be it I know you are very busy.

Thank you

the problem is in both your path and file structure
the sang_embed files are zen cart template files and they belong in your templates folder.
The error you are getting is generated when ZC cant find your template file.
try moving your template file to the same dir as the embed_config.php and making line 11 look somthing like this:

$zc_temp = DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_TEMPLATES."sang_embed/common/(yourTemplateFileName)";

I looked at my wifes file structure and found the error, she had named the folder sang and not sang_embed. Icorrected that and things seem to work. I will get back to you and let you know the final outcome of her project within the next two days.

Thank you many times over again as she was driving me nuts

The Sanguine Embbeded Cart is not working , I discovered this by trying to change the sidebox colors. The Green template was choosen in the admin not embbed cart, when that was changed to Sanguine Embbeded Cart the same error's returned. The html file is one page named (generic) and is in the common folder.

Thank you
Charles

I think that the issue is the parentheses you have around the generic.htm in your string they should not be there. sorry I confused you. in the example that I gave you I had them to indicate that that was something that you would define.
Make it:

$zc_temp = DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_TEMPLATES."sang_embed/common/generic.htm";

That took care of the problem, I want to help her finish this what I would like to know is how to you get back to your home page from within the cart (for example  the cart is entered by hyperlink button to an html page which is page 2 of site then how does one leave the cart and go back to the home page?) Also what was the reason of the post by brain21 with all the relative links , your method was easy to undertand and worked out of the box.
 
Again thanks for the quick response
