Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[mutinyzoo]

Nice!!! I haven't looked at the WOZ Sidebox Only Edition module in years because I use different methods now for "linking" WordPress and Zen Cart which use better, less troublesome methods of linking these two frameworks. (configurable WP4Zen sideboxes for Zen Cart, integrated template/themes, and a plugin for WP which allows me to display Zen Cart content --including the shopping cart-- inside WordPress) I've submitted two of these integrated sites to the Zen Cart showcase.. (See http://eyeitalia(dot)com and http://laserdiscvault(dot)com)

Nice sites.

The WOZ Sidebox Only Edition was NEVER tested --or specifically meant to work-- with the Numinix embedding solution. It was submitted as a standalone solution for displaying WordPress bog content in Zen Cart. After struggling with WOZ, I came to the conclusion that blog embedding was mostly unnecessary for uniting WordPress with Zen Cart.

Are the two sites referenced above NOT embedding WP, but merely duplicating styling within each platform, then?

So it would appear that your changes ARE required to use the WOZ Sidebox Only Edition with the Numinix blog embedding solution.. Given the changes you made (and submitted) you might want to create a separate support thread for the WOZ Sideboxes Only module.. You might also want to test that WOZ Sidebox Only Edition still works without REQUIRING the Numinix blog embedding solution.. WOZ Sidebox Only Edition was meant to work WITHOUT an embedded blog.

The changes to the wordpress_config file are not in the sideboxes only version I submitted, which is why I posted the changes here for anyone who is using the numinix method and since they only deal with the sideboxes themselves which are outside of the scope of the numinix changes, I imagine there would not be any conflict.

I would also suggest that the sideboxes need a looksee. Given the many changes in WordPress since I submitted the WOZ Sideboxes Only edition, some of the sideboxes may be using outdated code that is no longer supported in WordPress and modern WordPress themes.

I tested most of them and they worked. The one called tpl_wp_sidebar didn't seem to do anything and I'm not sure what it was supposed to do.

I'm questioning whether or not this method will be useful to anyone if WP4Zen and/or other more contemporary methods serves the same function.
