Wordpress on main_page

[Tvhawk]

Since i've scoured the net and haven't found something that works....i have pieced something together that seems to work just fine. I am posting it here for those who are having issues with doing the same thing i wanted to do, which was have wordpress on my main page without a fancy url to get to it.

First things first is to use the Wordpresson ZenCart mod found here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ess+on+zencart

If you want it to be displayed just like on the "[zencart URL]/?" page (or whatever that really long url is) use this:

<?php
require('includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_wordpress_default.php');
?>

If you want it displayed like an archival link table (to see what i mean, check out the bottom of the page here: http://www.fivecorners.net/shop ):

<?php
require('includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php');
?>
<fieldset>
<legend>Archived Blog Posts</legend>
<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=');
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php
the_title();
?>
</a>
<?php
/*the_content();*/
?>
<br />
<?php endforeach; ?>
</fieldset>



Add a # after numberposts=, but before the ' for however many links you want there to be in the box for prior posts. I left it blank as i believe (not very thouroughly tested) that it will add *all* posts instead of the most recent 3 or 5 or whatever number you put there.

I'm getting a 'headers already sent' error in the main page.

Visit
http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
Then add code to define_main page file of your current zencart template

<?php
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?><?php
$posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=3′); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><a href=“<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?><hr />
<?php endforeach; ?>

as per centre main column at

Where am i supposed to put the Loop info in the index.php file? I am somewhat of a noob when it comes to coding.

I have placed the other code within the default "define_main" as the template I am using does not have its own.

I am picking up the following error as it stands -
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/' in /home/content/t/b/c/tbcroaster/html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_main_page.php on line 2

I think Wordpress has changed quite a bit since that post was written. Here's the code I used:

<?php define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); get_header(); ?>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

            <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

                <div class="entry">
                    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
                </div>

            </div>

        <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php else : ?>

        <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
        <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
        <?php get_search_form(); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

That worked for me.

I used that code. The posts show up on the main page but when i click on them they just go back to the home page.

the link is come up with - website.co.uk/&p=1
when its meant to be - website.co.uk/index.php?main_page=wordpress&p=1

and there is no styling

Do you know what to do?
