which version of WordPress module did you install..
Version 1.2 or Version 1.3
from http://www.s-page.net/products/62.html
Ah sorry -- zen wordpress mod is 1.3 even though the readme says 1.2. I downloaded it again and doublechecked. We're using the latest wordpress files: 2.1.3.
Thanks for info visited your site from url in PM you sent..
Your zencart with wordpress module installed should look
like http://www.dezinacart.co.uk/index.ph...page=wordpress
so did you read wordpress module instructions regarding adding
css to your existing template stylesheet and adding a revised
template page i.e.
zencart Sideboxes for wordpress MUST reflect correct mysql setting forQuote:
----------------
Design adjustment
----------------
1.Please revise a header of a Wordpress theme, a footer, a sidebar, a style sheet.
(Please just upload a reference file if troublesome.)
Reference [/SAMPLE/wp-content/themes/]
2.Please add the following to a style sheet of ZenCart.
/* bigin */
.leftboxcontent ul li, .rightboxcontent ul li , .singleboxcontent ul li{
list-style-type: none;
margin:0px;
padding-left: 0px;
}
.leftboxcontent ul, .rightboxcontent ul , .singleboxcontent ul{
margin:0px;
padding-left:0px;
}
.leftboxcontent ul ul, .rightboxcontent ul ul, .singleboxcontent ul ul{
list-style-type: square;
margin:0px;
padding-left:5px;
}
/* end */
your wordpress install..and wordpress sql database
should be in same database as zencart install..
See my earlier reply today, this thread(postnumber 98), in answer to Stenrique's similar post..
Good call, you're probably right that this is where I failed because even on 6th viewing, I don't have a clue what he's talking about.
I did add the css he mentioned in the instructions to one of my zen's stylesheet.css. The style.css should just stay in the wp-content/theme directory, right? I didn't do any modding of the footer, sidebar or the style.css sheet.
I just tried uploading his SAMPLE default theme and all of the css disappeared and the articles weren't found either. I put it back to the way it was.
Is he saying we should put some of these files in the zen templates directory? Sorry, not sure why I'm so confused by this. I have tried to follow the directions closely.
You're right that my URL is wrong -- the sidebox database sql is correct as far as i can tell, though.
I just noticed this in one of the first posts on this thread:
Where in the world does it say to do that? I'm figuring I didn't set the URL correctly on the wordpress management screen -- but it doesn't give any direction for this in the readme. Are there instructions somewhere I'm missing?Quote:
Please set the following with an option of a wordpress management screen.
-- Blog address (URI):Your_ZenCart_URL/index.php?main_page=wordpress
Additional(I quoted it above) css should be added to your current template's stylesheet.Quote:
I did add the css he mentioned in the instructions to one of my zen's stylesheet.css.
His sample theme file should be added to your zencart install folder inQuote:
I just tried uploading his SAMPLE default theme and all of the css disappeared and the articles weren't found either. I put it back to the way it was.
/includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/templates
I found that the missing lower portion of the sidebox is due to the missing 'div' element in the sidebox code.
However, I am still encountering the error:Could you elaborate on the following?Quote:
Warning: mysql_error(): 10 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/mysite/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 177

Hello there,
Thanks to everyones help. I think I have it cracked. Please check out site below to see if I have. I was wondering how you guys managed to seamlessly pop the blog into Zencart, when you click on a sidebox link. contrary to readme with mod, I put index.php back in wordpress/ because when I clicked on sidebox links, it went awol. So I am guessing I haven't fully installed it.
Cheers! :lookaroun

Above shows how WordPress module should look when seamlessly integrated into zencart
Hello Misty,
Thankyou for helping me. I must admit, my installation also is in public_html/wordpress etc....
If I put a direct url to wordpress, it is integrated.
http://thegemtree.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress
I know I have to alter css, footer and header files also.
But the sidebox links and some links on the page above, have a /?cat=1 ending, which makes it go back to the home page.
So I am getting! there. lol
The problem/s you are having is because you have installed mod into it's own folder i.e. wordpress...it should be installed directly into your zencart folder....HTHQuote:

I've installed Zencart 1.3.7 (with Future-Zen template), and the latest Wordpress release, using the mimetastic theme (for the fluid aspect of the theme).
I have everything running fine at the moment, except the wordpress sideboxes don't display the same as the rest of the sideboxes.
Can somebody please point me in the right area to modify to fix this?
I have ordered the book, and waiting for it to arrive, but want to fix this ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Duane
Demo of the problem:

Dorn,
I had the same problem and I resolved it by editing the /includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_wp_cats.php file:
Hope this help.Code:$content = "";
$content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';
if($woz_install){
//start wp output
ob_start();
wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0');
$out = ob_get_clean();
//end wp output
$content .= '<ul>'.$out.'</ul>';
$content .= '</div>';
}
Stenrique,
If you could see me now, I am on my knees praising you, thanks, it worked perfectly.
Dorn
Glad I can be of help Dorn.
My praise to the Zen Cart team and community.
The link on the first post is broken.

Thanks!

I have installed wordpress .3 and am running zen cart 1.3.7 I uploaded the samples and everything else, included them in my sideboxes and they show up but only as titles....there is no way to get into the blog and I can't figure out how to access the admin area, I have looked through my zen cart admin a 1000 times and can't find anything. Any help would be great.
You can see it on my site.
Where/how did you install wordpress.. directly into zencart folder, or into it's own seperate folder??Quote:

10 hours later, I figured out my problem was, I needed to empty the database tables. So everything is installed directly into my root, changes have been made according to readme. Now my sideboxes just reload my mainpage. Can anyone point me in some direction? I also have nothing in my site admin about wordpress except under the layoutboxes, is this right??? What am I doing wrong? :frusty: This couldn't say it better!
Can anyone help me with this? My blog link is still just redirecting to my home page. What do I need to change? I have looked at all of my files, they are all in the correct spot, I have unistalled and installed again. I am out of options as far as I know....which isn't very far, ha ha!Quote:

Thanks!:smile:
I have recently tried to install the Wordpress on ZenCart mod. I followed the instructions to the letter and rechecked all the steps twice. When I try and bring up my index.php, I get an error page stating that I have not installed Wordpress yet. I have and can access the admin panel. I did not upload the Wordpress index.php as instructed and when I open the index.php in dreamweaver, it is the page for ZC. The only thing that I may have done incorrectly is I left the old WP database in place and just dumped the tables. When I installed WP, it located the database and installed the new tables.
There was one item that I found in the instructions that was not exactly the same. "6.Change a file name [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.txt] to [includes/extra_configures/wp-config.php]." The file that I located here was accutally called 'wordpress-config.txt' and I renamed it 'wp-config.php'
Also, do I need to remove all 'index.php' from WP? example: wp-content/index.php
Any ideas??
Although I don't have the same problem, I have been having troubles having this working. Though I feel I am so close. I think it is hard to grasp the instructions, but it is not the Authors fault due to their locality. I think I have got most of it nailed, eg. wordpress in the root of Zencart e.t.c. Just me being dense and missing the finer points maybe. lol
As far as I understand, you don't need to remove the index.php from WP-Content.

re module instructions.. you have renamed wordpress-config.txt incorrectly...
No need to remove /wp-content/index.php
That was one of my concerns. The file from the mod is called wordpress-config.txt. However, the instructions state to find wp-config.txt and change it to wp-config.php. I was not sure how to name the file.
From what I am understanding, I need to rename it to wordpress-config.php, correct?
And thank you for your response.
I have to be missing something simple.
I am getting the same error.
Do I need to have one database for both zen and wp? I didn't think it would matter but maybe it does.
I have read thru and found nothing. Im sure this is simple. I have installed as per the instructions. I have edited the wordpress_config.php file to the correct settings, I think.
When I goto Your_ZenCart_URL/wp-admin/install.php, no error, just a blank screen? Help!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You
Gary
Finally got it.
Will this mod allow a registered account holder in Zen to post blogs without having to register in WP?
No it will not.Quote:

Now I'm back to having it working.:clap:
Now I'm having different probs :frusty:
When I try to open the admin panel, try to open the wp-login.php page, or try to open the wp-register.php page I receive the following message 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_language() in /home/content/w/h/a/whatever/html/wp-config.php on line 2'
This is in referecne to line 2 'mb_language("English");'
Line 3 is 'mb_internal_encoding("EUC-JP");'
Do I need to make some additional changes concering the language elsewhere in this mod?
I found the answer in the thread. I was using the wp-jp.zip version. I commented out the language lines and all is well. :oops:
I am still having problems with this module. I have it installed directly into my root as directed and my links are still directing back to my main page. I am doing something wrong, but don't know what. Am I supposed to upload the sample folders? Am I missing something or is the only place wp-include/template-loader.php is found is in the sample folders? Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated, I've spent much too long on this!
The site is down. :-(
Anyone know why the site is down?
Am assuming you mean site that houses WordPress Module download.Quote:

Hello everybody .
I have a problem with the uncompatibility between Wordpress_zen v1.2 and latest google froogle feeder. Anyone has ever such problem yet.
I test it both on my pc and host sever.. It do have such problem.
If you have zen_worldpress on your zencart .
You can not enable the google feeder to work..
Please anyone has solve the problem ?
Thanks for any reply.
Just find out which file in zen_wordpress has conflicted with google foogle feeder.
zen_root\includes\extra_configures\wordpress-config.php
if(isset($_GET['feed'])){
wp();
gzip_compression();
// require_once('./wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php');
require_once('./wp-includes/template-loader.php');
exit();
}
The function code isset($_GET['feed']) do conflit with google froogle. Since there is the same function Line in goolgefroogle.php in zencart root directory!
I know little php , My way to get the worked together is to delete the code
if(isset($_GET['feed'])){
wp();
gzip_compression();
// require_once('./wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php');
require_once('./wp-includes/template-loader.php');
exit();
}
}
in wordpress-config.php.
The wordpress still works fine. But i am not sure there will be any hidden trouble in futurn.
DOes any body have other options to change the code ?
Looks great! Any chance it works with Wordpress 2.2.1?? Any experiences to share? Thanks Nathan
I installed ZenCar 1.3.7.
I already had WordPress 2.0.2 installed in a seperate diretory. I moved the WordPress files to the zencart root and changed the URIs in WordPress admin per the instructions from WordPress. I then installed the WordPress on Zencart module and followed the instructions.
I am getting the following error. "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."
My question is:
1) Does the word press database have to be installed in the zencart database?
I currently have them seperate hollydoo_zencart and hollydoo_wp_1.
MadTeckHead,
I just installed with WP 2.2.1 and had very little problems with it. Looks awesome and just what my client needed!
Thanks Lawbird123, I actually didn't wait for a reply and had it all install in under 30 min! Wow... Thanks for your reply all the same. I found one small change for the readme file the referance to "exit;" does not exist in this file in Wordpress 2.2, has been replaced with "return;". So i just commented out that instead. Piece of cake, however I am not all that impressed with the theme. Have people got suggestions / options about the best way to merge the two themes? I really am not keen to start from scratch, so if anyone has something that works for them I would be very keem to take it and build on it. Thanks for the great contrib. Nathan
MTH,
Same way you create a new theme for ZC... go to content->themes and create a new folder. Copy the folders from default theme and paste them into your new folder. Modify your style.css and whatever else you need changed from there. Make sure in your WP admin you select your new theme. I took out the sideboxes, footer, and header from mine with no probs.
I went ahead and removed WordPress 2.0.2 and installed WordPress 2.2 in the Zencart root dir and put the WordPress tables in the same database as Zencart. I then went back through the "WordPress on Zencart" instructions and I am still getting the same error. What am I missing? BTW. I installed WordPress on Zencart V1.3Quote:

Item 5.. don't understand this comment...
re
Layout Boxes Controller
Do you have wp-config.php in your zencart install?
This file should have details of your mysql database etc
associated with your WordPress Install

Those files look ok except for

If installed correctly.. url to access yourCode:define('DB_USER', 'hollydoo_somename');
zencart wordpress mod should be

Hi all - this mod looks great, I wish I could get it to work. Can anyone post some instructions that make sense? I'm on my 7th install and am still having problems with (I think) the wp-config.php - and the mysterious wordpress-config.php in (/includes/extra_configures). Should these files be the same?
And what is ABSPATH and how do we define it properly? I believe this is the cause of most of the errors about missing files and functions.
:yuck:
Aaarrrgghhh!

HELP!!!
:wacko:
I've been working at this for an entire week and I am going insane - virtually no progress.

Here is the link to my original post. I am having a little difficultly with this. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69300
From what I have been told, the side box .php files for this mod are from an older ver of ZC. Is there a simple way to make the WP side boxes only visible after someone has logged in? It has been suggested that I rewrite the code for the sideboxes. I am not a programmer and my boxes work fine other than being there all the time.
This php file is from the Wordpress on Zencart Mod.

$title = BOX_HEADING_WP_ARCHIVES;
$left_corner = false;

Is there some code simular to:
// test if box should display
if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
$show_featured= false;
} else {
$show_featured= true;
}
That would allow the same results? I have looked at other sideboxes and I can see the differences in the styles that the code were written in. However, they are very different in the way the work. At least to me.
Wp_Sideboxes to show only after login.......
should do what you require..remove the two forward slashesCode://Comment in next line if only registered members can view this sidebox
//if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '')
require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
before
Code:if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '')
Hi Misty,

But i cant able to get the posts in content area. I dont know how to get the post content when user clicks category. did i miss any configuration? . Post content are in WP database.

Dhaya

I also went and tried adding the code after the existing code with the same results.
I was in error. The box is still there. But instead of showing archive information, it shows a box heading of Blog Archive, but shows manufacture information.
WP Archives sidebox.. only show sidebox to registered members
who are logged into zencart
Copy code below ..create file named wp_archives.php
Place file as follows into
/includes/modules/sideboxes/wp_archives.php
Works.. I tested 3 minutes agoCode:<?php

Worked. I don't know what I was doing wrong. I tried that. But, it is working now.

When I cut and pasted the code from misty's site a couple of characters were not correct which caused the same issue you are havingQuote:

I have my blog integrated and displaying on the main page. However my blog posts have some strange characters in them. It is a character encoding issue. Wordpress requires UTF-8 encoding. When I manually change the encoding on my browser to UTF-8 the strange characters disappear. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Disregard. I figured it out. You have to set WordPress to ISO-8859-1.Quote:

Secondly, can someone answer a question for me?
I want to have just 2-3 latest topics of the blog at the bottom of the stores landing page. I do not want any of the blog sideboxes to appear until after a user has clicked through to read more. Can this be done?
Thanks!

Ok, thanks misty!
Not sure what step I haven't followed here, but the site just isn't coming up. Did a clean install on both ZenCart and WordPress and am pretty sure I followed the directions properly, however looking at other posts everyone else seems to have installed it with no problem so I need to get some guidance- probably very simple. I'm just getting an error that there is a problem connecting to database, however the installation went swimmingly and I can enter admin panel on both ZC and WP so it's something at the front end that isn't happy. Any ideas on why there would be connection issues? The install is on www.pimpmyshow.com
Are all your configure files pointing to correct database etc, especiallyQuote:
