Hello-
I recently purchased a news article manager script from a php developer only to discover that the script doesn't work with zen cart. The developer said this to me;
"I saw that if I use php include, the rest of the zen cart index page is not appear. I looked in the php codes of zen cart and my script and I saw that there is a conflict with the database connection. So, once news script php is connected to the database, zen cart becomes disconnected. I have tried to change news script to be compatible with zen cart database connection, but once I try to connect with news script php database - zen cart always disconnect. I also tried to change some codes in zen cart without success"
he went on to say:
"I think module or plugin for news on zen cart will be better.
I have found this:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=147
Otherwise if you try to use another script with php include, you will risk
to have the same problem, because zen cart is not made to use php included
files with own database connections."
After researching some other news plugins... I couldn't find a whole lot for news development. One of the other plugins I found is located here - "http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=791" .... I am wondering if anyone is aware of any other options for news plugin... I noticed that most of these are compatible with version 1.3.8 and not version 1.5.1 (which is what im using)... Should I not waiste my time installing these since they probably aren't compatible...?
