Blog Integration Contribution

[misty]

Was I mistaken in assuming the WOZ integration used Zen Cart for the WP login?

Simple answer is YES, you are mistaken.
Seperate membership is required even if WordPress is integrated into zencart.

I found this entry here for "zencart -and-wordpress-integration" at
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...r-integration/
Its apparent purpose is to replace the WP login and use ZC's...

It requires WOZ to be installed first...
but you caution it places too great a load on the server...

Our intention is not to create blog entries within ZC. We are satisfied merely to display a feed. However, it is very important to us to share a common login...

If our customer has been shopping/browsing, and wants to participate in a discussion, we don't want to require another annoying login process...

...Hope you can help! You have been great assistance to me thus far!

Fine if it does what is says on the tin, BUT install at your own
risk..do you want to sell goods safely and securely or run blog website?

Hey all, great plugin! I have it working in a very simple fashion by taking the last line from the carp install screen and just throwing it in my main page via the define pages editor. However, obviously it is not effected by css and the other wonderful formatting that you have setup with the Zen Cart blog integration.

My question is - what is the step between installing CaRP and getting rss feeds to show up on your main page? Should the blog module appear someplace in the admin settings? Or do I have to go into a file and add some lines someplace to load up the blog module?

What I want to do is have on my index page be my latest blog entry followed by the new products module.

Thanks!

Step 5 in the installation instructions has you editing tpl_blog_default.php; to do what you want, follow these instructions with tpl_index_default.php.

If using Zencart Wordpress mod, enter following code into define_main_page.php

<?php
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?><?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=3'); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php the_date(); ?>
<?php the_content(); ?><hr />
<?php endforeach; ?>

Hi,

I have tried to install this and I'm at Step 4, page 2 of the installation instructions. Instead of getting the newsfeed at the top of the page in the grey box I'm getting this:

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home/www/mysite.co.uk/carp/carp/carp.php on line 329.

So i looked in the carp.php file and this is whats in line 329:
list($hour,$min)=explode(':',$carpconf['cachetime']);

I'm not a php expert so would really like some help with this.

Thanks,
Gina

I am attempting to use CaRP to show a RSS feed on my website. During setup it asks me to enter the feed which I cut and paste directly in (http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?Fe...&storeId=35479). I am getting an error: HTTP test connection failed.
Either rss.api.ebay.com returned status code 404 or the HTTP session failed completely.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong. RSS is new to me and I can use all the help available. Thanks. Rick www.ilovefilms.com

I could be way off here, but what the heck. Thought might jump in and give it a shot.

Go to your Google Reader where it shows the feeds you have subscribed too.

Assuming you have subscribed to your own feed, your website will be in the list of sites.

At the very bottom left of the page, you will see "manage subscriptions".

Go there and compare the feed you pasted to the feed that is shown on the subscriptions page.

Just a thought......
