Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

Whats this in the readme refer to.

----------------
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 */

Am I supposed to add this the zens stylesheet.css ?

or style.css from wordpress?

Confused. I'm having a hardtime getting this thing to squeeze in between the two columns.

BTW I tried changing tpl_wordpress_default.php width to lower and it didn't affect anything.

Also changing style.css DID reduce width in a few things but the text still goes beyond right column and side box is way out there.

So I put it back to normal.

If anybody knows how I'd like to have my sidwboxes not show on blog page so it will fit right

or just a way to squeeze it well.

Thanks.

Great Contrib! I was a bit confused by the readme, so I actually installed it twice, because I misread the directions the first time and had to do it again. However, my sideboxes are blank. I can successfully add them, but there is nothing in them at all. Did I do something wrong?

[cyfarian]

Nevermind, the wordpress_config.php file, I had changed the $woz_install=1; to $woz_install=0;

It works now!

Next question...can you have a zencart sidebox with the most recent posts? I didn't see that as one of the sidebox options.

Thanks.

i currently have zen cart loaded in the root directory. i installed wordpress in the root directory. i then copied all zencar/wordpress additional files into their respective directories.

i changed the wordpress options.

i copy wordpress-onfig.php to my web site and get the following message:

It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.

HELP.

I don't know if you've already solved the problem, but be sure to edit wordpress-config.php as well with your database information. That fixed it for me just now.

Next question...can you have a zencart sidebox with the most recent posts? I didn't see that as one of the sidebox options.

Thanks.

I don't have answer for this...yet. However, I have noticed that a number of wordpress blogs has this feature so I imagine its something you can set up in the wordpress admin settings? Or maybe its a matter of making a sidebox to display that information. @_@

And while I am at it, a quick question. I want to be able to display entries on the front page of my shopping cart. I used to use one of the news management modules that has been mentioned on the forums and for that I added a line to an overridden /template/tpl_index_default.php:

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_NEWS_SUMMARY_MODULE));?>

However, since WOZ lacks a module file(?) I can't write similar code to do the same thing. I'm sure if I was better at php this wouldn't even be a real question.

Hopefully someone can offer me some insight. I'll keep probing around for a solution in the meanwhile. ^_^;

Hira-san, thank you again for this wonderful modification! This is exactly what I've been searching for. 本当にありがとう！助かりますぜ。

kusogaki,

I would either like to put the latest posts in a sidebox or on the front page of the cart, like you want to. If you find a way, please do let me know. I have a quick, dumb question....Since the blog has an rss feed, could you embed an rss reader into the shopping cart's front page?

Thanks,
Cyfarian

Ugh no, dice on the loading of wordpress on the main page. I really imagine this shouldn't be difficult...but I'm not making any ground here.

Cyfarian, since I've been stuck on the above situation I haven't looked into the recent posts modding yet. However, I do know that wordpress has a method called "The Loop" that basically adds that functionality. Why it's not an included feature...I don't know.

Information on that can be found here: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop

I imagine you could whip up another sidebox (or just use an existing one as a template) and throw the looping code in there and it should do the trick. Once I solve the initial quandary I have, I will give that a go. :)

Chris,

Thanks! I took a quick look at the loop code and it is too late in the day to get involved in that headache! But I will definitely look into it later and try to add it to a sidebox and let you know how I do. Thanks again for your help and good luck on your attemps.

Wordpress (where wordpress is installed in its own folder) on main page via admin/define main page is

<?php
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?><?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1'); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><strong><font color="red"><?php the_title(); ?></font></strong></h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?><hr />
<?php endforeach; ?>
