Integrate Extenal Program Into Template
 

Hello All;

I am looking to integrate an external program (autolinkspro) into my existing template. I want the same look and menus from my template - but the .php program to be intergrated into the template.

Currently the program is a link on my speedbar, but I would prefer to have it part of my help menu. Any ideas on how best to accompish this would be very appreciated.

Thank you,
Wayne

Program to be integrated into my template is: www.QuirksOfArt.com/lk/index.php

You want to integrate fully in X-Cart?
Or allowed to broadcast in X-Cart as a block: "Linking the list of categories", "the last 10 added","Top-10", etc. (from external program autolinkspro)? With the transition in the selection of a menu item to "www.QuirksOfArt.com/lk/ ........."

I want it to look like it's part of the same template - so catalog/manufacturers/etc. show up. This shoud link from the Help section. I'm not looking to integrate the login or users.

If you want to simply withdraw to the data block, and then switch to "autolinkspro" to the "www.QuirksOfArt.com/lk/index.php" - this is easy, and I will be able to help.
If you want to fully integrate the system in the X-Cart, it is quite a long occupation, and I have no time for it.

I'm sorry, but I do not know what the data block is? I basically want to wrap the autolinkspro index.php with my x-cart template. So that autolinkspro doesn't really look like a seperate program. Thank you.

You can make a design for "autolinkspro" similar to your store.
Then on the main page of the store, withdraw part of references to "autolinkspro" or list of categories or ...
I think it is the easiest option.

PS. Under the "data block" I had in mind - a block in which provides information program "autolinkspro"

Quick way... create a new static page, then use an <iframe> eg.

Thank you both, however the iframe didn't fit well. I ended up hacking it up to look like part of my site template.
