Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[Schtoo]

Tried to re-install and it asked me to delete it first, but being the last thing I tried before it actually now working, it might have done something?!?

So it is working, don't need any more assistance. Thanks. :)

Hi, I have looked over this forum with no luck. I am using the latest version of Zencart 1.3.8 I think it was. www.ribbonsbaskets.com

The comments link doesn’t seem to work, when I click on it I get a "page not there error". Does anyone know what could have caused this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anybody used the nav_links code to add Next/Previous type tags to the bottom of each link?


We're using the WOZ patch successfully on our site (aestheticsbodymod.com/store) and I'd like to add navigation links to the bottom of the entries. I've found this line of code in wordpress's codec files:



<div class="navigation"><p><?php posts_nav_link('∞','Go
Forward In Time','Go Back in Time'); ?></p></div>


...I tried adding that to The Loop code in the define pages editor via define main page, but it doesn't show up. Any advice?

Ok, I have spent 3 solid days trying to figure this out and as a last resort, I'm am looking for help here- mainly because ya'll are great!

Anyway, here is the problem... I have installed Wordpress on Zen Cart (I believe it is successful). I have used the plugin XML Sitemap Generator (which is highly recommended in several places) but when I click on the RSS feed "button" under my posts, the page is empty. I can goto the feed directly and view it. When I goto Feedburner in Google, I put the direct link to the feed to add it and I get:

The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Unknown feed format encountered (The root element is [Element: <urlset [Namespace: http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9]/>])

The top part of my feed reads:
<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

I went to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
and it very clearly says...

This schema should never be used as such: the XML Schema Recommendation forbids the declaration of attributes in this namespace

I don't know what the heck to change the namespace to- I know where to change it. I replaced it once with the namespace information that is in my RSS feed on another Zen Cart that does validate but then nothing was in the site map.

I don't know if this is because I'm using Wordpress on Zencart or if it's because I'm using the latest and greatest Wordpress. It's one of those things that I just thought I'd ask here. I asked on the Wordpress forum and no response

If anyone has any thoughts, ideas- I'm willing to give it a try- worst case- I break it!!

Thanks
Nancy

If this is a WordPress plugin, you may get very little help here on this forum.. This is largely a dead mod (dead = no new updates in quite sometime), and so getting help with a WP specific issue will require someone who has worked through a similar issue.. Also if there are folks on this forum who can help, a link to your site is helpful..

My suggestion is to install the blog software standalone, work out the issues with the WP plugin (you may have to enlist assistance from the WP forums for this), then using those blog files and try re-doing the WOZ install/setup again.

I know- It's one of those times that it's not a zen cart thing- its not a wordpress thing and I'm somewhere in between. I thought the Wordpress on Zen Cart area would be worth a try! I was just hoping that someone may have had the same issue and would share the fix. If nothing else, the people that make this community sure do try and help each other out.

I'll try getting it to stand alone and see what happens. Quite honestly, I hope the fix isn't too easy- after all I've spent 3 days working with it!!

I hope so too.. but isn't that just how it is sometimes!!

There have been a lot of suggestions for the headers-already-sent problem, but the one I have is unique to WOZ. I'm not sure why I'm the only one who has been seeing this, but maybe it has to do with me using the pretty permalinks. Anyway, the problem itself has to do with the wp_redirect() in pluggable.php call for many reasons (examples follow):

• Whenever a 404 needs to be reported due to a wrong blog post name it would be processed by this code instead of the ZC 404 handler
• When the trackback suffix is added to the post name directly (not through the authentic trackback path), the code tries to re-post the code, but with a 302 temporary redirect

The problem that occurs is that the wp_redirect code redirects the code to a (new) page via the php header() function. Since ZC has already posted headers by this time in the code, a call to the wp_redirect function under WOZ will always cause the wp_redirect function to result in the dreaded headers-already-sent error. I did a little research to find out if there is a php method to redirect the page without using the header() command and discovered the existence of ob_start function which allows the WP code to redirect the headers even after the ZC code has sent them. I did a quick search in the ZC support forum to see if I could find any concerns about using it and discovered this post which made me feel much better about adopting this technique:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...light=ob_start

So, by adding an ob_start() call at the top of my
includes/templates/myTEMPLATE/common/html_header.php file, the existing wp_redirect code started working as expected without any additional modifications. I tested this by clicking on the trackback link in my post as well as forcibly modifying the postname in my browser address bar to be a (slightly) invalid postname and WP processed the 404 instead of a ZC 404.

This was really kicking my ########, so I hope it helps someone else! Now to fixing the feed code should be a breeze!

Well, I uninstalled WOZ and everything works fine now. I don't like not finding out what caused the issue and finding a fix for it but I'll have to move forward from here. Three solid days is all I have~ If anyone ever figures it out, please post it because I would really like to know what happened!

Well all may not be completely lost.. Search this post for my posts, and try my solution for using the WOZ sideboxes only..

I lost patience for all the things that seemed to not work quite right with this mod. Kiddos fix solved one issue, but the problems I had with new posts not being recognized by this mod drove me nuts.. Turns out all I really wanted (needed) were the sideboxes.. This how I have and will continue to use this mod going forward.. Skinning my WP blogs to match my Zen sites is a snap.. So for me this works..
