Does the Wordpress mod create the SEF urls on your site?

Thanks :smile:

Here is this module?

I can not find it in the module downloads.

Thanks for your support,

First post in this thread i.e.
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...54&postcount=1

That link now takes you to a broken installation of Wordpress.

Can anyone provide a good link to the latest version of Wordpress on Zencart?

Thanks for your support,

Only working link can find at moment is at
http://www.s-page.net/products/50:56...aea130993.html
In Japanese though, so might be an idea to contact module dev..

Thanks Misty, I was able to get the latest version there. There was a link to the english version.

I've elected to have the wordpress files located in its own folder: (/home/mysite/public_html/blog). After installation, upon turning on the wp_archives and wp_cats sideboxes, I noticed that only the title background is showing (pls. see attachment).

In step 6 of the document,

6.Change a file name [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.txt] to [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.php]

---

I am assuming that wp-config.txt is really wordpress-config.php. If that is the correct assumption, I've also change the 2 lines in red so that "wp-settings.php" file can be found and the 'ABSPATH' is pointing to the correct path.

Code:

---

<?php
//
// wordpress on zencart by http://www.s-page.net/
//

$woz_install=0;

if (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'blog/' . 'wp-settings.php')) {
        $woz_install=1;

        define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
        $wp_did_header = true;

        define('DB_NAME', DB_DATABASE);    // The name of the database
        define('DB_USER', DB_SERVER_USERNAME);    // Your MySQL username
        define('DB_PASSWORD', DB_SERVER_PASSWORD); // ...and password
        define('DB_HOST', DB_SERVER);    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

        // You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
        $table_prefix  = DB_PREFIX . 'wp_';  // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

        // Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
        // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
        // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
        // to enable German language support.
        define ('WPLANG', '');

        /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

        //define('ABSPATH', './wordpress/');
        define('ABSPATH', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'blog/');

However, I am seeing the following error messages in the sideboxes:

Quote:

Warning: mysql_error(): 10 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/sensuous/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 177

Could someone be so kind to let me in on where I have stuffed up? Thanks very much.

PM Received from Stenrique regarding his post above..
My response, which may help other members, is as follows:-
Do you have database link correctly configured in sideboxes i.e. archive side box..

Code:

---

  $content = '<ul>'.zen_wp_get_archives('type=monthly').'</ul>';

---

Above is configuration from my own install which reflects database table for wordpress install as zen_wp
Tips...
WordPress install integrated into zencart slows down
cart performance considerably..
my install was wordpress mod release before current offering
..sideboxes..I reverted to rss sidebox/es instead..
see demo, leftside bottom box, at
http://www.mistily.com/zendemo/index.php

I've gone through this thread at least 3 times and read the others about Wordpress -- at some point, I think I saw the answer to my problem but now I can't find it.

I have zen cart installed in a directory (catalog) -- my REAL live shop is in the root, but this is my test shop where I want to set up wordpress first. The wordpress files are installed in the "root" of the test shop (in the catalog directory). Isn't there a way to make this work?

It mostly works, I see the wordpress page with menu on the right, the sideboxes are showing up fine. Everything except no posts or pages ever show up. I click on a page and it just doesn't show -- all that I see is "Edit this post" at the top. Or sometimes it says "Not Found". I'm guessing this is because I'm in a directory?

Third day on this -- would really appreciate some help! I'd hate to have to install this in my live shop to test and set up.

magicpants..which version have you installed i.e.
1.2 or 1.3? Makes BIG difference because version 1.2
would only install correctly into zencart using actual
domain..i.e your domain.com and not yourdomain.com/cart
