Doesn't work within shopping cart

Doesn't work within shopping cart

I need some help figuring out how to get the gallery to work within cube cart. Cube cart is installed in the main directory and for the gallery for example, it calls for this:

<?php
$pg_id = '3';
$pg_theme = 'light';
include('/home/arnswood/public_html/gallery/galleries/ribbon_fullsize_lightbox/index.php');
?>

and it doesn't display, so I have tried this:

<?php
$pg_id = '3';
$pg_theme = 'light';
include('../home/arnswood/public_html/gallery/galleries/ribbon_fullsize_lightbox/index.php');
?>

and this:

<?php
$pg_id = '3';
$pg_theme = 'light';
include('../../home/arnswood/public_html/gallery/galleries/ribbon_fullsize_lightbox/index.php');
?>

and neither of those worked, which I didn't think they would since it's in the main directory.

Does anyone know if there's a reason why the gallery won't work in a shopping cart software?

I'm gonna post it in their forum as well (cause I just know that someone is going to tell me to ask the cube cart people).

If you want to look at the site, it's arnswoodshop.com, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the gallery or featured carver links. They both have galleries on the page, that aren't showing of course.

Thanks again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

leave the code unchanged.

when i look at the source code on your page, the php tags are not correct. In the source code, the php tags show as:
<!--?php

and
?-->



another issue i see is that you have links to load jquery on the page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>


the gallery will also load jquery, those links will cause a conflict which will cause the gallery to fail.

Thanks Jason. I copied the php coding directly from the gallery add to site link, so the gallery is giving me the wrong code, which is I remember right, has happened before. I am gonna bet it's probably the jquery links. I will go check that now. I bet that's it since it just doesn't show the gallery but doesn't give me an error.

Hi Jason. I took the jquery links out which were generated by the shopping cart. That didn't help. I then fixed the php tag issue. Which is weird, cube cart must have done something to it after I added it, but only to the gallery page, not the carver page. But anyways, that didn't fix it either.

Can you look at it again, and see if you see anything else. :-( Thanks so much.

and, if I put the same gallery on a page that is not generated by the cart (in the cart you add pages by clicking a documents link and can either use a wsyiwyg editor or the source code and I enter just the content source code, then it generates a page and creates the link to it) it works. See test.php

So there's gotta be something that the cart is generating that is conflicting, but I can't se what it might be. Can ou take a look at the source code again one more time and see if you see anything that could be conflicting with it?

I appreciate it.

you may have to add the gallery to the page as an iFrame instead of adding the php code.


see the "How to display a PowerGallery in an iFrame" tutorial in the PHP Web Apps section of our you tube channel:

I will certainly try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
