Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[madteckhead]

Looks great! Any chance it works with Wordpress 2.2.1?? Any experiences to share? Thanks Nathan

I installed ZenCar 1.3.7.

I already had WordPress 2.0.2 installed in a seperate diretory. I moved the WordPress files to the zencart root and changed the URIs in WordPress admin per the instructions from WordPress. I then installed the WordPress on Zencart module and followed the instructions.

I am getting the following error. "It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."

My question is:

1) Does the word press database have to be installed in the zencart database?

I currently have them seperate hollydoo_zencart and hollydoo_wp_1.

MadTeckHead,

I just installed with WP 2.2.1 and had very little problems with it. Looks awesome and just what my client needed!

Thanks Lawbird123, I actually didn't wait for a reply and had it all install in under 30 min! Wow... Thanks for your reply all the same. I found one small change for the readme file the referance to "exit;" does not exist in this file in Wordpress 2.2, has been replaced with "return;". So i just commented out that instead. Piece of cake, however I am not all that impressed with the theme. Have people got suggestions / options about the best way to merge the two themes? I really am not keen to start from scratch, so if anyone has something that works for them I would be very keem to take it and build on it. Thanks for the great contrib. Nathan

MTH,

Same way you create a new theme for ZC... go to content->themes and create a new folder. Copy the folders from default theme and paste them into your new folder. Modify your style.css and whatever else you need changed from there. Make sure in your WP admin you select your new theme. I took out the sideboxes, footer, and header from mine with no probs.

I went ahead and removed WordPress 2.0.2 and installed WordPress 2.2 in the Zencart root dir and put the WordPress tables in the same database as Zencart. I then went back through the "WordPress on Zencart" instructions and I am still getting the same error. What am I missing? BTW. I installed WordPress on Zencart V1.3

Brian, I was getting the same error so I changed out a couple of the wp files that come with mod to resemble what the wp original install files looked like and that solved my issue.

John,

Do you remember which ones you changed?

Thanks,
Brian

Both config files... the one in the root dir and another one called wordpress-config.php found in the install (you'll want to change that to wp-config.php)
