This is one of the slickest mods out there!
Thank You!!!
It works very well with both ZC and WP installed in the site root.
Sharing the database makes the MySQL Backup mod grab all the data.
The Google Sitemap mod works perfectly in harmony with the WP sitemap plugin and includes the WP pages in their own entry in the sitemap index file.
Add a few plugins like NextGen and cform II...
This really puts the icing on Zen Cart.
Don't use a wimpy server and all will be well.
Hey Kiddo!
Very nice rounded corners mod, thanks very much. I often click the links at the bottom of people's posts, and the CSS help and packages you have for Nifty Cube and Nifty Corners were a rea help to me.
I wanted to post here, even though it is off topic to Word Press, because this is where I found your link, and think other people should check out your work too.
Thanks again,
Todd
Thanks!
Make sure to edit the configuration javascript file to your liking. I have most of the stuff commented out and it breaks some browsers if you don't customize it first. I guess I should fix that in the kit.
Sorry to be off topic in the thread.
And now back to your regularly scheduled topic...
Hi,
I have installed this mod and the first page (.../index.php?main_page=wordpress) appears fine as do the sideboxes. However if I click on any of the blog links I lose my shopping cart template/styling. Have I installed this incorrectly or is there some configuring I have missed?
the cart is on http://absholdings.bpweb.net/index.php?main_page=wordpress
I have installed wordpress in a folder called blog in the root of my shopping cart
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Rachael

See kiddo's comment above..Quote:

I, personally, have never yet successfully installed
zencart Word Press Mod in its own folder i.e. blog...
works fine as kiddo states, when installed into zencart root directory
and shares zencart database.
Just BACKUP zencart database BEFORE installing
hi, thanks for the quick reply.
I think I am being a bit think so please bear with me. If I install it into the root of my zencart folder wouldn't it overwrite the zen carts index page?
oops, I meant being a bit thick not a bit think - point proven :D
Latest version of ZenCart Word Press mod, dated
August 2007..instructions included, read as follows
Quote:
Wordpress and Zen-Cart into the same directory.
Step1)Install of WordPress
Download the main body of WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ and unzip.
Upload all files except index.php of WordPress to [Path of WordPress].
has anyone used this mod twice on the same site? I have two different sections that could use separate blogs - trying to create a CMS style feel. Is this a possible install if I customized the files "wp_" to something different on the second install, like "news_"? Or is there a better option?
You would have to clone the module and end up with another set of entries in the layout-box-controller so each copy of WP had it's own boxes.
I think the second copy of WP though would have to live in a different directory than the site root and as previously mentioned, there are issues getting that to work properly.
Would be pretty cool though...
That begs the question, is there anyone working on a Joomla on Zen Cart mod? ;)
