Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[andrabr]

skunkworx,

take a look at a HOWTO I posted here: http://n0tablog.wordpress.com/howtos...t-integration/

BTW, I am CERTAIN that it is mentioned earlier in this thread.

Good luck!

I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious here, but I can't seem to figure out how to find the index page of wordpress - does this exist? On a regular wordpress install there's an index page that displays all of the latest posts regardless of category, but on my Zen install I can only seem to bring up the various category pages through the sidebar. I'd like to be able to link to the blog itself from other sites, not just specific categories. Is there a way to do this?

Here's my site: http://dichroicjewelry.net/glass/

thanks mate..im sure its a great help to some...but its too much editing for me...is there a way to just make a contrib to do this?

looks like theres no hope for a FAQ in zencart for me...

the ''actual'' faq contrib doesnt work...sigh..

Sorry. You will have to plead with Hira (author of the original contrib) - I am not going to fork the code, since I am NOT qualified to support it.

Just a quick note referring to these instructions: http://n0tablog.wordpress.com/howtos...t-integration/

it says:

"includes/extra-configures/wordpress.php supplied in the integration package seemed to contain a copy of the standard wordpress configuration files. The problem with having a copy is that when (not if) you change the originals you got to remember to change the copy as well."

This is not a problem in unix systems, just create a symbolic link from the original conf files to the place where a mirrored copy is needed. this way you'll only have one set of conf-files to worry about. ln -s /originaldir/originalfile.php /destdir/originalfile.php will do the job just fine.

pi-xi, you do have a point. It's my purist side that prefers to include the original the way I did.

The only other reason to do it the way I did is that there is a check for wordpress presence further down, and I am not sure how it will work out with a broken symbolic link.

This discussion probably belongs on the HOWTO page - closer to the actual document...

Hi,

I'm no php whizz and am struggling with both the integration using Hira's guide and the NOT a Blog guide.

I thought I had done it all and then I found I can access the Zen-Cart admin but everything on the home page and WP-Admin page is now blank.

Any ideas?

I am trying to make Zen-Cart and WP work with the N.Design Studio theme as used on s-page.net.

Can anybody advise what it might be?

My url is:

Does anyone have an install set of Zen-Cart 1.3.7/WP2.0.x (can't use 2.1) and the N.Design Studio theme that can be modified and used. Maybe that would be quicker for me as I'm stumped and want to get the site up and not spend time learning php.

I went to the database then wp_options table. Changed siteurl and home field. Problem solved.

It may have been settled. You can change it with a management screen of WordPress(TOP>Options).

Am I supposed to add this the zens stylesheet.css ?

or style.css from wordpress?

Confused. I'm having a hardtime getting this thing to squeeze in between the two columns.

Please add this zens stylesheet.css.

Wordpress (where wordpress is installed in its own folder) on main page via admin/define main page is

<?php
require('./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php');
?><?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1'); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><strong><font color="red"><?php the_title(); ?></font></strong></h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?><hr />
<?php endforeach; ?>

Thank you for support.
I want to introduce this method in readme.
