How do I place the entire Zen Cart into an existing page template?

I already have a basic page design with logo and some frills. I want to take Zen Cart and simply place the entire shop into my page template.

How do I do this? I'm sorry if it's been asked before but I did not see the answer to this anywhere.

hten you install ZC skin it to look like your site and add a link to the main, page,

Re: How do I place the entire Zen Cart into an existing page template?

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I'm sorry but I'm sure someone with more experience would understand what you mean but in that simple explanation you've given it doesn't exactly help me.

Can you elaborate or give a more detailed explanation for how to do this?

Yes, I have a domain and I want to have a link to mydomain.com/shop that is identical to the rest of my site pages with the content of Zen Cart in the body of the page, within my teplate.

Oh yes, I should mention (and this may complicate things further) that my page template is almost exclusively CSS. So the body is actually inside a ' div id="content" ' container.

Re: How do I place the entire Zen Cart into an existing page template?

so then what you will want to do is install zen in the shop folder,
make the shop look like the rest of the site,
zen cart is done in css also,

you will copy your header design into header,
footer design into footer, etc

Re: How do I place the entire Zen Cart into an existing page template?

Once again thank you but I guess I'll either figure it out myself or blow it off.

I didn't expect a complete tutorial but you take so much for granted by thinking that I can take your answer and know what to do with it. That is why I asked for clarification and a more detailed answer.

Perhaps your answer makes perfect sense to you but unfortunately it tells me nothing about the files I edit and what to edit.

Thanks anyway.

Anyone else care to help? Can anyone give a more comprehensive answer?
