rabbitseffort Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 how would I take, for example, the best sellers box, or any box--doesnt matter, and put it in an html document can I call it like I would any external source like a flash file?? I have a box that I want to place on another site as an ad basically--anywho--how do I go about this?

carlost Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Not so difficult, however - not so simple either. A little time consuming at the least. It would be rather complicated, if it could even be done - to link all that needs to be to just place an info box outside of the oscommerce environment. So, I'm thinking that you would likely want to just mimick the look, I would use tables to do this - and hardcode the links. If you do not understand this that I'm suggesting, and why - probably you will need to get someone to do it for you.

rabbitseffort Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 I know I can copy a look and box--I am a designer--the thing is is the box I want to use is a complicated box already coded with lots of javascript and pulling things from my database-- If Monika or Mark reads this they can help "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

Guest Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 It shouldn't be too difficult, you would need to include call to application_top and probably a call for the language file but aprt from that it should work. I would use a .shtml and just do an includes command to the category/box file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitseffort Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thanks stuart--I will look it over--I knew it had already been done--rarely can someone think of something with osc that hasnt already been done "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.
