PT in frames

Submitted by FirstByte on Sun, 2009-05-24 06:48 in

Hi David,

I wanted to test a few layout ideas and I'm interested in using frames on PT.
I've tried to include frames on the buyproduct.php page so that i can display Merchant info (like discount codes) on the top frame and the merchant product on the bottom frame, but I'm hitting blanks.

Would you be able to setup the foundation for it?

regards
Rod

Hello Rod,

Do you already have code for your merchant info (discount codes etc.) in place?

Normally, I would recommend pulling in merchant specific information as the page is generated rather than creating a frameset, which is very difficult to set up in a search engine friendly way - if you're not careful you will end up with inbound links direct to your framed pages which is not a good situation!

What i've recommended in the past is creating a sub-directory containing HTML pages with merchant discount codes etc., and then including these in the main product page by looking for a voucher page with the name "Merchant Name.html" and including it if it exists... Have a look at:

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
David.
