Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[loosefast]

yes all files are there , i am using WP default theme

In that case, I think that if you can first get the WOZ to work with the default zen theme that will tell you if the problem lies with your custom zen theme files. Sorry I can't be more help, but I've never had a problem like this with mt handful of WOZ install, but plenty of problems with other aspects as detailed in previous posts...

No, it just didn't work. I spend some time figuring it out. Oddly, other sites I've upgraded to 2.7 seem to have no problem. But as someone point out, this may be because of other (seo) mods masking the problem.

So I read these posts and try to figure out what it's really supposed to do (or what you think it's supposed to do) and set up test to see if it breaks for me too.

Yes it breaks for me.

So if the demo I make is what you are expecting to do, I post it here. I just trying to be sure Im not misunderstanding and post foolishness. If above is what you want, do this:

In includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php
find:

	$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
	$req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
	if($req=='?') {
		$_GET['main_page']='wordpress';
	}

and just BELOW that block, ADD this:

	// kiddos patch for WP 2.7
	$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
	$req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
	if(($req=='i') && ($_GET['main_page']=='wordpress')) {
		$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace("index.php","",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
	}

Only do this if the above demo is acting like you think it should.

If this makes other things explode I'll try to fix if I can reproduce the problem.

Just to say thank you for this! Worked a treat and saved me hours of headaches!

I've had WOZ integrated into my customer's site for sometime now. Up until recently I had it laid in quite nicely; however I'm not sure why, but the body of the site itself seems to have moved up causing header issues when in the blog.

What I'm trying to figure out, is how I can name a .css file that would reference the blog so that I can make some minor adjustments to the site itself when in that view.

I've done a ton of this with my other heavily customized Zen-Cart sites where I need to modify the base layout just a touch for a particular view - such as the add-to-cart or sometimes even within a particular category - Creating those custom .css files are easy to figure out - but when I view the URL when in the blog I see /?cat=8 or whatever WP cat I happen to be in at the time, which isn't helpful.

I hope I'm making myself clear, but these adjustments really can't be made within the woz.css - so I'm a bit stumped as how to clean this up.

Here's a link directly to a blog post to make it easy myblog-site

I'll keep playing with the layout to see if I can figure out how to fix this, but as you can see the left column is pushed down, but the cause is actually the margin of the body is off. I had a 10px top margin on the site itself and that has disappeared apparently, throwing everything out of wack. The largest issue is the flash banner I have in the header. As you can see it's scooted down about 10 Px or so.

Any suggestions would be welcomed - I'm getting a bit blury eyed trying to find the best way to attack this.

Thanks for listening! Hope someone can help.

Ah Ha! I was wrong - you can make changes to the main site in woz css (style.css) I just killed the bread crumb which is a quickie fix until I can make proper adjustments. I guess I just needed to post to hear myself think...LOL

Has anyone upgraded wordpress to 2.8.1 and encounter any problems? I did the upgrade automatically from wp-admin site. Now when i click on my blog, instead of being directed to http://domain.com/blog, it goes to http://domain.com/http:/domain.com/blog/.
Can anyone help please? Thanks.

[yamitenshi]

Silly me. I managed to find out that the error above was because i tried changing the permalink settings, after i uninstall and reinstall WP and WOZ - -"
Seems like there is no way to set the permalinks if we integrate WP into ZC? If anyone finds a way, please do advise ^^

[lankeeyankee]

Just a quick note to let folks know that I have just installed WOZ using WP 2.8.1 and ZC 1.3.7.1 without any problems. I followed the instructions that come with the mod and it works fine.

The biggest issue, using the default template, is the css clashes. The problem is that WP and ZC have many css classes and ids that are the same. I had to go into the WP theme files and change the names of classes and ids, once that was done, along with some other css changes to WP to make it fit properly within the main ZC column, everything works as advertised.

I embedded WP into the ZC, I didn't experience any problem whatsoever like other folks seem to have. I think that embedding it makes sense in terms of link juice and keeping it all "under one roof".

Now I am going through and adding the plugins and widgets that we want. This is so so so awesome to have this. WP is so powerful, it is waaaayyyy more than a blog tool. We are going to use it for all of our CMS (non-ecommerce) content. Now, I am working on embedding different pages into different areas of ZC.

Thanks to the mod author and all of the community members for their support in this thread, although it seems as if a lot of non-installation issues people were having have thankfully been resolved with 2.8.1. But, I haven't gotten into the custom meta tags or SEO URLs yet so perhaps I'm speaking too soon.

I've sifted through this whole forum, and I apologize if I've missed the answer to my problem.

I got WOZ installed fine, and when the Blog Sidebar heading is clicked, it brings my blog up on the main page. However, if you click the Archives link (or categories, search, anything), it pops up a new window that doesn't look anything like my blog. The same is true when you click the comments link within the blog.

I can't tell if this is what Kiddo's patch is supposed to fix, but I've tried to use that without luck.

I also tried changing the settings in WP admin to use http://www.digsshowroom.com/index.ph...page=wordpress as my blog address. This fixed it so the links didn't pop up a new window, but brought up a 404 on the main page and the following error messages on my WP admin:

Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home2/digs/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home2/digs/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 130

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home2/digs/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/misc.php:130) in /home2/digs/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would prefer the archives/categories/search to come up on the main page, but would settle for them coming up in a new window IF the styling was the same.

I'm using ZC 1.3.7 and WP 2.8.2. (Maybe I need an older version of WP?). WP is installed in /blog directory.

Site is here: http://www.digsshowroom.com

Thanks in advance.

hmm... nevermind. i seemed to have gotten it sorted, and in the meantime lost access to the WP admin and my blog's own CSS styling.

it's gonna be another long night!

Hi all,

I encountered an error when I tried to read my RSS feed from my wordpress. The link to my side is:
http://ikimura.com/?feed=rss2
(The hosting is free by godaddy... )

I am using zen cart 1.3.8a and wordpress 2.8.2.. I have read the posting from Kiddos to insert a patch at extra_configures/wordpress-config.php.

So basically this is my wordpress-config.php:

<?php
//
// wordpress on zencart by http://www.s-page.net/
//
//define ('ABSPATH','/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/blog/');
define ('ABSPATH','/home/content/h/k/a/hkartadi/html/blog/');

$woz_install=0;

if (file_exists(ABSPATH.'wp-config.php')) {
	$woz_install=1;
	define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
	$wp_did_header = true;
	
	require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-config.php');

	$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
	$req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
	if($req=='?'){
		$_GET['main_page']='wordpress';
	}
	// kiddos patch for WP 2.7
	$i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
	$req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
	if(($req=='i') && ($_GET['main_page']=='wordpress')) {
		$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = str_replace("index.php","",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
	}

	if(isset($_GET['feed'])){
		wp();
		gzip_compression();
		//	require_once('./wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php');
		//	require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php');
		require_once('/home/content/h/k/a/hkartadi/html/blog/wp-includes/template-loader.php');

		exit();
	}
}
?>

I have spent few days to figure this out and google for hint. But found no luck...
I will be very appreciate if someone could help me! Thanks!

Regards,

Handi
