Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

i know! i spoke to this client at length about both performance and screen res, all to no avail. if only i had time to rant away here, but unfortunately they suggested the screen res of 1280 wide, and they also insisted on the visuals after we spent months working on numerous mockups. did the best i could with a stubborn customer, however perhaps i will be less tolerant next time as it reflects poorly on me!

At the risk of being blunt here, your client is more than stubborn, they are foolish .. It is preposterous to suggest to people that a 1280 wide resolution is the solution to THEIR site display problem.. The solution to their site display issue is to fix the sitee.. You are much better than me.. I would have let the client go before putting out a site that cannot be viewed across all browsers and resolutions.. Between the site performance and the screen resolution, they will LOSE customers.. Too bad they don't get that..

i had thought about doing the same, i just don't know if sideboxes and the discrepancy between styles does it any justice. i had so much trouble dealing with conflicts in the stylesheets that i simply figured WP wasn't that hard to learn from the ground up and it was probably going to suit the customer better with the implementation we finished up with. i also think many people would like to see less of WP in their WOZ implementation and more of ZC in their WP implementation, as the money maker is ZC, while the traffic maker is WP, so looks aint necessarily that important with WP for a "seamless" integration.

will keep a track of this thread if you're going to post updates as i believe what you are trying to do would be EXTREMELY beneficial for many users, and i am now wondering about whether i should give it a crack.

I found that it was WAAAAAY easier making my WordPress site look like my Zen Cart store than it was trying to get the embedding features of WOZ working.. So between the WOZ sidebox only implementation, and the addition of Zen Cart product links and navigational elements to my WordPress blog, I believe that I have been able to achieve a seemless transition between Zen Cart and WordPress. I'll share what I learn with the community as I make new discoveries..
