Hi Martin

How is your shop setup? Does it live on the same server and domain as your umbraco website?

I'm thinking that using an ajax call might be an option - you should be able to just fetch the #footer part from your umbraco website - however there might be some crossdomain stuff to be aware of.

But tell us a bit more about how it's been setup then some better ideas may come to mind :)

Aren't IFrames kind of old?

Hi Paul

Indeed they are but sometimes it's the best option dependent on the project and what one is trying to achieve :)

Hi Jan, 

The shop is a separate hosted ecommerce solution, specifically Big Commerce.

Ive got it setup to use a sub domain, with an external link in my main navigation.

I'm thinking of maybe just making it static if its too much trouble.

Thanks

Hi Martin

Hmm, making it static would return the whole site in the iframe? Don't know if there is a technique to overcome this so you only get the part that you actually need. I think an ajax call would be the way to go. But there can be some challenges where you need to setup a crossdomain policy.

Seems a bit much work actually - does the footer content change very often or is it rarely changed? Beacuse then it would perhaps be easier to simply just hardcode the footer content and just style it the same?

Hi Jan, 

Yeah, I did a rethink and decided to change the layout, so that the footer is not dynamic.

Ive just hardcoded the essentail links.

Thanks for your help anyway Jan.
