WordPress Zencart Module from above url..
To integrate, wordpress and zencart should be in same
directory/folder and use same database

Hi,

Thanks i got it. I installed all the files in same folder but how can i install wp_archives and wp_cats in Layout Boxes Controller? it shows error when i enable those two in layout boxes..

It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.

But i installed wordpress already. where i did mistake?

These files are of secondary importance and only allow for
sidebox integration.. best to wait until wordpress mod is
installed correctly

Suggest you read previous posts on this thread, from past couple of days, by myself and member, hollydoodledesigns..he had same problem
but fixed it with my help..

Hi all - this mod looks great, I wish I could get it to work. Can anyone post some instructions that make sense? I'm on my 7th install and am still having problems with (I think) the wp-config.php - and the mysterious wordpress-config.php in (/includes/extra_configures). Should these files be the same?

And what is ABSPATH and how do we define it properly? I believe this is the cause of most of the errors about missing files and functions.

Aaarrrgghhh!

HELP!!!

I've been working at this for an entire week and I am going insane - virtually no progress.

This is harder than getting Paypal to work.

PLEASE - someone with some knowledge of this mod - I BEG OF YOU - post a working set of files with instructions that make sense.

Here is the link to my original post. I am having a little difficultly with this. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69300

From what I have been told, the side box .php files for this mod are from an older ver of ZC. Is there a simple way to make the WP side boxes only visible after someone has logged in? It has been suggested that I rewrite the code for the sideboxes. I am not a programmer and my boxes work fine other than being there all the time.

This php file is from the Wordpress on Zencart Mod.

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_wp_archives.php',DIR_WS_TEM PLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_wp_archives.php');

$title = BOX_HEADING_WP_ARCHIVES;
$left_corner = false;
$right_corner = false;
$right_arrow = false;
$title_link = false;

require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
?>

Is there some code simular to:

// test if box should display
if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
$show_featured= false;
} else {
$show_featured= true;
}

That would allow the same results? I have looked at other sideboxes and I can see the differences in the styles that the code were written in. However, they are very different in the way the work. At least to me.

Wp_Sideboxes to show only after login.......

//Comment in next line if only registered members can view this sidebox 
//if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '') 
  require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);

should do what you require..remove the two forward slashes
before

if ($_SESSION['customer_id'] != '')

Hi Misty,

I got everything fine in sidebox i.e WP category,pages, archives and links. I replaced my old database(WP) with this integrated WP database. The category,links lists well in sidebox. But i cant able to get the posts in content area. I dont know how to get the post content when user clicks category. did i miss any configuration? . Post content are in WP database.

regards,

Dhaya
