Blog Integration Contribution

This is the only real problem with CaRP as far as I'm concerned. For some ideas on dealing with this, take a look at Antone's help pages:

Hello, I'm new in using the software Zen-Cart and my question is the blog of integration can put several blogs on my website is a place in the area of game consoles, put another blog in the area Computer, another blog in the area of sound equipment.

Thanks

You could ... if you really wanted to partition them, you'd need to create new pages for each one, of course.

Yes, for example, need to put a blog on the homepage of wii consoles http://www.todoenguate.com/index.php...oducts_id=2778
and I need to put another blog in PlayStation 3
and able http://www.todoenguate.com/index.php...oducts_id=2784 put another blog on other pages. The idea is that it can deliver my goods with comments from people in the blogs

I have followed the installation instructions and have gotten to the point of opening carpsetup.php.
It successfully loads the feed from GeckoTribe.com.
However, the instructions talk about 'Page 2' and 'Page 3', which I am not able determine or locate.

I am unable to determine how or where to display any RSS feeds in Zen Cart.

Please help me determine where I am going wrong...
Thank you!

Evidently, the Page 2 & Page 3 entries are irrelevant.
Posting the code into my Zen Cart's Main Page, appears as expected.

It took a while to discover that the URL for my Word Press blog must be www.mysite.com/blog/?feed=rss2 in order to be read as a feed and not a web page.

Hopefully, others will find this post easier than I did to uncover my problem...

Now that I have the feed from my blog appearing on my Zen Cart Main Page, that functionality is working fine...

How can I integrate to login functions so that my Zen Cart customers can post to the blog without a separate login?

Not currently possible..would require custom coding.

Misty -
Thanks for the response.
Was I mistaken in assuming the WOZ integration used Zen Cart for the WP login? (I thought that was in their description...)
I guess that would be part of the performance trade-off. Slower-site but increased-convenience.

The 'custom coding' you mentioned. Is that something straight-forward? Or, a band-aid-and-baling-wire solution?
Would you consider it a large project? 5 hours? 50? 500?

Looking forward to your reply...

There are two contributions for Wordpress: a Wordpress Integration (which might be a better starting point for you) and this, which is a "blog display" mod. This is just a feed reader that you can use to display blog posts in your cart.
