Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[Stenrique]

I found that the missing lower portion of the sidebox is due to the missing 'div' element in the sidebox code.

However, I am still encountering the error:

Warning: mysql_error(): 10 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/mysite/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 177

Could you elaborate on the following?

Do you have database link correctly configured in sideboxes i.e. archive side box..

  $content = '<ul>'.zen_wp_get_archives('type=monthly').'</ul>';

Above is configuration from my own install which reflects database table for wordpress install as zen_wp

TIA.

Is your WordPress Module installed in same SQL database as your zencart install?
Can you post sql details? do entries start as
zen_wp_

Have just installed WordPress Module(latest 1.3 Version)
into Demo ZenCart 1.37 showcase site
at http://dezinashop.com/demo/

As you will see, sideboxes work fine, as does 3 latest blog
posts integrated into zencart main index page..
WordPress mod files uploaded directly into zencart folder....

For some reason, I'm getting a "Server not found" error when I click on the link to the demo site.

Yes, wordpress tables are installed in the same database as those of zencart tables.

Can you post sql details? do entries start as
zen_wp_

Mind elaborating on the above? Brain's at 1st gear now. If I understand you correctly, all my Wordpress tables are prefixed with "mysite_wp_".

My zencart is still at version 1.36 and Wordpress is installed in a sub-folder named "blog" under my catalogue (home/mysite/public_html/blog). TIA.

My zencart is still at version 1.36 and Wordpress is installed in a sub-folder named "blog" under my catalogue (home/mysite/public_html/blog).

Latest version of Zencart Wordpress module works
when installed into your actual zencart folder/site
and not separate folder as you have stated.

Hello there,

Thanks to everyones help. I think I have it cracked. Please check out site below to see if I have. I was wondering how you guys managed to seamlessly pop the blog into Zencart, when you click on a sidebox link. contrary to readme with mod, I put index.php back in wordpress/ because when I clicked on sidebox links, it went awol. So I am guessing I haven't fully installed it.

Cheers!

Above shows how WordPress module should look when seamlessly integrated into zencart

Hello Misty,

Thankyou for helping me. I must admit, my installation also is in public_html/wordpress etc....

If I put a direct url to wordpress, it is integrated.

http://thegemtree.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress

I know I have to alter css, footer and header files also.

But the sidebox links and some links on the page above, have a /?cat=1 ending, which makes it go back to the home page.

So I am getting! there. lol

i'm able to get wordpress working on a seperate directory then i'm lost as to what to do after that i'm going to read all the info on this again but it's just giberish to me, it takes me 10plus hours just to upgrade my zencart just so you can understand where i'm comming from (i won't even upgrade my 1.3.6 to 1.3.7 because i don't want the headache)

[Xandrouz]

guys. can I put my wordpress account inside zencart 1.3.8? how will i do that? help please.

[aesthetics]

Okay, so I think I'm closer... I now have wp functioning inside of zc, but it isn't taking on any of the style of zen-cart... it just looks like the generic wp template inside of zen-cart.

Where did I go wrong?

Also, maybe this is an easy one, but I want the most recent blog entry to be the main page of our store. Should this be happening already (it's not) or did I do something wrong? Or do I need to somehow make the main page redirect to the blog page?
