WordPress and Zen Cart

[jamiemcparland]

Maybe this isn't the place to post this but since all of us are using zen cart maybe it is ;)

I have the module that allows WP and zen cart to play together installed and working. I would like the front page of my store to display the main wordpress page.

I know i could do a redirect to the wordpress page but that's kind of a drag.. I'd really like to have the blog and at the bottom of the blog still display the "New Products for December" thingie..

I know that's asking alot. I thought about maybe somehow doing a server side includes but that doesn't seem to be working.

Any thoughts??

It should not be hard, just modify your zen cart template to display the wordpress loop on the front page or where-ever you want the loop, it will put it there

hope that helps

sounds easy but i have no idea what tham means haha! I looked in the faq and forums about wordpress and loops, also on the wordpress site. But i don't really get it. Is their some kind of tag i can stick on the zen index.php?

Could you give me an example? Sorry to be such a pain.. I'm stumped on this one.

Thanks!
Jamie

Are you talking about something like on the front page of http://www.getyourgameshere.com ? I basically did what xerophyte was saying.. put some code into my define_main_page that loops and pulls posts from wordpress (currently latest 3 posts)

Yea that's exactly it! I'm getting close. I got a loop going and i'm sticking it in the define_main_page.php but i'm fighting an error message right now.

Heres the loop that i'm working on right now

<?php
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<div id="blog"><?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
	 <h3 class="storytitle"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
</div>
	
	<div class="storycontent">
		<?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>
	</div>
	

</div>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

But i'm getting this error ugh!

1146 Table 'wordpress.configuration' doesn't exist
in:
[select configuration_key, configuration_value from configuration where configuration_key RLIKE 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN' and configuration_value > 0 order by configuration_value]
1146 Table 'wordpress.sessions' doesn't exist
in:
[select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = '2pavvh6j66ieaf1p5as8bo3h81']

Care to share the loop code your useing ;)

Hey samad64,
that's a great theme you have on your site. Is that one you made or is it available for download somewhere?
