    Hi,
    I had posted this question on your website and you asked me to post it here. So here goes....

    I have installed the matterdaddy marketplace classified ads on my website, but I am having problems getting it integrated. I have tried two different things and neither one is working satisfactorily.

    The first way was to install it using iframes. However, when I did that, the confirm posting window always opens in a new, blank window. Then the user has to physically navigate back to my site...not at all what I want them to have to do.

    The second thing I tried was to incorporate my page design into the matterdaddy scripts. However, with this approach I am running into header issues. My site design is done with all of my formatting in a CSS file and my navigation and headers and footers are all contained in php headers and footers so that my page files only contain the page content.

    Here are the links to the various ways I have tried. The first one is using iframes
    http://www.dans-place.net/wanted-ads.php

    This one is incorporating my headers and footers into the matterdaddy scripts.
    http://www.dans-place.net/market/index.php

    I know that you won't be able to help me much without seeing my code, but there is a ton of it and I don't know exactly what to include here. Please advise me as to the best way to get these scripts integrated into my site.

    Thanks,
    Debbie

  2. I'm looking into your site right now - and will post some thoughts shortly. Your site is looking great by the way!

    As of now - there is nothing when I click the iframes link; looks like there's nothing attached to that URL.

    Sorry about the link being wrong for the iframes version. I had to make some changes because when I edited the files for the second version, the iframes version was referencing the files for the second version. I have now corrected some of that. Here is the new link. http://www.dans-place.net/wanted_ads.php. As I have been thinking about this, I am wondering if it would work correctly if I put the "wanted_ads" file in the market folder rather than leaving it in my root folder. I haven't tried that yet, because it just occurred to me.

    Hi,
    I have been working on this problem for the last few days and I think using iframes seems like the way to go. However, I still can't get the confirmation window to open in my site. How did you set up the market software on your site? Did you use frames?

    Thanks for your help.
