Hello,

followed alla instructions.

For which blog embedding solution?? If it's the Numinix solution you are using, other than posting the suggestion to use it for those having issues getting WOZ to work, this is probably not the right place to have an in depth support/configuration discussion about the Numinix blog embedding solution.. (perhaps a separate thread -- appropriately titled say "Numinix Blog Embedding Solution Issues/Questions" would seem to make more sense)

You'll need to look at your blog's stylesheet to figure out which blog style is affecting the store sideboxes.. Personally I like using a stripped down blog stylesheet so that the store's stylesheet drives the primary look and feel of everything including the blog.. Good luck getting this all worked out.. Again perhaps a separate thread -- appropriately titled say "Numinix Blog Embedding Solution Issues/Questions" would get you better responses... You can also post your support related questions on the Numinix blog and forum..

I followed all the instructions all the steps but this no understand

Now is the part where you will need some experience with CSS and HTML as you have just imported your entire blog into the main page area of your Zen Cart template



please help .

Same answer to you..

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but couldn't find it in this long thread.

All the side boxes are missing a closing tag of this line

  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '"

so I added this to all the sideboxes in this mod

  $content .= '</div>';

Does anybody know of an integrated login solution that will work with the Numinix solution? I would like to install a WP blog on an existing ZC site, but would prefer current users to not have to log in twice. Barring that, I would prefer that accounts are automatically created with the same credentials.

Thanks in advance.

Best to ask questions specific to support or configuration of the Numinix solution here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184126.. Though I have suggested consistently in this thread that folks consider using the Numinix blog embedding solution, my intent was to steer folks towards a blog embedding solution that works. It is clear that WOZ is quite dead (and non-functional) at this point.

That said I never to meant to try and have a support discussion for the Numinix solution here.. so the best place to ask those questions would be the other thread I posted..

Will do, thanks.

Your post is awkwardly worded so I'm not sure I understand you completely, but it sounds like you are asking how to turn on/off certain sideboxes on certain pages.

You need to search the forum for your answer on how to manipulate sideboxes as it not really a WOZ specific question.

The method needed to turn on/of certain sideboxes on certain pages is the same regardless as to which sideboxes you are wanting to turn on/off..

I am so close on this.

I have implemented the Numinix integration. I still want the sideboxes (of course), so using DivaVocals' suggestion, I am attempting to use the wordpress loop with the blank sidebox mod (admin editable sideboxes does not allow PHP from what I can tell, and this mod is from the same contributor).

First, please know that I don't understand PHP.
When I enter the code (includes/MY_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php) as such:

<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/MY_ABSOLUTE_PATH/blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=5');

  $content = '<span class="specialclass">' . BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '</span>';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
  $content .= '<hr />'; 

  $content .= '' ?>
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
  $content .= '</div>';
?>

... the posts appear, but they do so ABOVE my heading. It struck me that the link elements may need to be declared as content, so I modified the syntax accordingly:

<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/MY_ABSOLUTE_PATH/blog/wp-load.php');
query_posts('showposts=5');

  $content = '<span class="specialclass">' . BOX_HEADING_BLANK_SIDEBOX . '</span>';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
  $content .= '<hr />'; 

<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<?php $content .= '<a href="' . the_permalink(); . '">' . the_title(); . '</a><br>'; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php
  $content .= '</div>';
?>

When I did this, it broke the sidebox (did not display).

Could someone/anyone with code experience help me out?

DivaVocals, I'm going to single you out for a moment. You proposed the Numinix + Sideboxes solution (and a good one it is) for quite some time. You are vocal in your ridicule of WOZ, often siting this alternative; however you are one of the few who truly have this (both Numinix AND sideboxes) as an option. I appreciate that you spent money developing sideboxes for use with your customers, but until the rest of us have a solution for sideboxes with Numinix, your cries of "there is no need to use WOZ" will not fully be heard. I apologize for that last run-on sentence.
