Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

SUCCESS!

To those of you looking for a sidebox solution that works with Numinix, install the blank sideboxes mod and add the wordpress loop to the end of includes/modules/sideboxes/blank_sidebox.php (alternatively: includes/modules/sideboxes/MY_TEMPLATE/blank_sidebox.php). The code will look like this:

<?php
  $show_blank_sidebox = true;

  if ($show_blank_sidebox == true) {
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_blank_sidebox.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_blank_sidebox.php');
      $title =  BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX;
      $title_link = false;
      require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
 }
?>
<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/MY_ABSOLUTE_PATH/blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=5');
?>

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" style=""><?php the_title(); ?></a><br>
<?php endwhile; ?>

I left an empty style tag in there, because I found that I needed to do some selective styling to get this to blend with my other sideboxes. I am sure that there are more elegant solutions, but this one works.
