Inserting Frames into either Define Page or Ez Page

G'day All,

I am wondering if it is possible to insert a Frame into either a Define Page or an EZ Page.

What I want to be able to do, is a customer can utilize another site, through a Define Page.

For Instance, I want to have Tech Support Page as either a Define or EZ Page, that can access another page through it. So in ZenCart, customers click on Tech Support, and they are still in the Zen Cart, but in that page, there is a frame that is briinging in my Tech Support Ticket System Through into the Zen Cart Page.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

What about using an Inline Frame? (IFRAME).

That should work just fine on the page. No need to create a ton of frames referencing each other, just a single inline frame containing the information you desire.

:)

Works like a charm.

The iframe element creates an inline frame that contains another document. The link below will give you the Attributes. Oh, Yes it can be used in both. It is just another html tag like the frame tag with similar attributes but a little more or less powerful depending on how you use it. You could use it for a gallery or with a blog or a completely different web site with in a web site.

Re: Inserting Frames into either Define Page or Ez Page

One thing i have noted with that script, is that you can't use the height of 100% in zen cart, it does not show the frame at 100% of the page it is loading.

I had to change it to 1000 (as in1000px). It works, but some pages, there is heaps of white page down through the frame.

If you use 100% the frame only goes down the page about 10cm, and if the page you are loading through the frame is taller than10cm, then it shows you a scroll bar to scroll down.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Inserting Frames into either Define Page or Ez Page

Actually, I did. I replaced the code. I don't know why, but for some reason the owner of the site had pasted the code from an aim chat window, and that must have done something it shouldn't have to the code. When I repasted it from notepad, all was well and my columns reappearred.

It's kind of like when someone pastes something from microsoft word, it adds trash code to the html file. If you don't first paste it in notepad to remove the formatting, the trash code stays there and can mess things up.

I don't know if that will fix your problem, but it did with my cart.

Re: Inserting Frames into either Define Page or Ez Page

I'm using Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8

How do you insert an iframe on a product page? It won't display for me.

Re: Inserting Frames into either Define Page or Ez Page

Some more info:

When I post the code in the HTML source popup nothing happens. If I put the HTML in the text editor it outputs the html on the page. When I go to edit it again, the iframe loads in the text editor (works on IE8, website in iframe doesn't show up in Firefox). After saving, it disappears.

The page says "There are no products to list in this category."

I've tried doing it on a defined page but I still get the same problem.
