Wrapping Zen Cart around wiki content

[obertancat]

First of all, let me say that I'm not all that versed in PHP. I know perl a bit better.

Is there a series of standardized Zen Cart PHP calls that could wrap the Zen Cart headers, sideboxes and footers around some wiki content? I could then embed these into the wiki header and footer and have the best of both worlds: the wiki content plus the ability for all the Zen Cart functions to (new products, shopping cart contents) to be active and current.

The wiki program is Oddmuse, perl based.

Any insight would be most appreciated.

Of course the 'inelegant' (static) approach would be to just copy the raw html source and split it up into stuff in front of the center column (header) and stuff behind (footer) but this rankles me.

Wonderful place this is..

Rather than wrapping the Zen framework around your wiki content, figure out how to feed your wiki content to Zen. Start with the about us contribution and figure out how to do a page at a time.

If you can feed your Wiki content using RSS, you can use my Blog Integration contribution.

Good luck,

Thanks software guy. I just realized how little these languages like to play with each other. I opted for the 'inelegant' approach since all the link handles would still work. Sadly the only RSS this wiki provides is an output of 'recent changes.' BTW love your stuff..

Thanks.

One more possibility: can you use cURL to pull a wiki page into a Zen page?
