Embedding other PHP pages, such as CRM input?

I am trying to embed the VTiger Customer Information page and the Customer Support portal into my Zen Cart site. maintaining the header, navigation, etc. I am thinking that this could be done pretty easily. i don't suppose anyone has done anything similar and could comment or make suggestions?

Thanks,

Bob

Skin your other app to look like your site and make an ezpage external link
or you can hardcode it

You can create an EZ-Page, then on that EZ-Page create an IFRAME ... include the page you wish to display inside the i-frame ... style accordingly.

If you have to, edit the page your including to fit correctly into the iframe and it will appear seamless.

My opinion as well ... but it's just a solution for what he's trying to accomplish, a simple approach.

Thanks for the feed back!

I am assuming that I can use their code and use all but the headers and footers, and put and paste the PHP into something like the privacy.php document?

I must admit, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the templating system with ZC... but I'll get it figured out :)

Thanks for the help, and if you have any "ZC Templates for Dummies" I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

Bob

Simple solution ... try an iframe. Will work for what you trying to accomplish with no modification to any ZC files.
