Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[hira]

Hi,

I've never used any version of WOZ.

I'm in the middle of some other work today and tomorrow so I won't get a chance to install it until Sunday, hopefully I do get the time then.

I understood it.
Sorry for your inconvenience but thanking you in advance.

where did you download WOZ from? Latest version (1.5) is only available from the developers site.

3. it seems the side box works. When you click the page "sleeping bags", it bring you to the blog (http://www.outdoorgc.com/wordpress/?page_id=3). But it is not a blog on Zen-Cart, it is a absolute blog.

sorry, you can find the side box at the left-bottom on the page (www.outdoorgc.com)

You can download WOZ v1.5 from a download section some time ago.
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=681

I downloaded it at once and confirmed it.
I am very glad my work to be accepted.

Let me ask you a question.
Will the permanent link of wordpress(in wp-admin) become it besides a default?

In the case of a default, the category becomes the following URL.
http://www.example.com/blog/?cat=1

Besides a default, it becomes the following URL.
http://www.example.com/blog/category/uncategorized/

I'm not sure I understand your question.. But if you are asking if the Ceon URI module re-writes the blog URLs, then the answer is NO.. AND, I didn't have to make ONE CHANGE to the Ceon URI code to make sure that Ceon URI module does NOT re-write ANY of the blog links...

I also didn't have to make ONE change to Wordpress to make sure that the Ceon URI module does not re-write the blog URLs. In fact I can still use the WordPress permalinks with NO interference from the Ceon URI module.

The ONLY change required to insure that the Ceon URI module did NOT re-write any of the blog links was a few additional lines in my .htaccess file.

Please feel free to look at my test site here:
http : // clients . overthehillweb . com /testsite/blog
I installed the Ceon URI module just now, and it took me about 20 minutes to do the install and setup my URIs.. There are not issues/errors working with the Ceon URI module either..

Here's the .htaccess I used

RewriteEngine On

# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /testsite/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/testsite/.* [NC]

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$

# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite/admin.* [NC]

# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite/editors.* [NC]

# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]

# Don’t rewrite blog directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite/blog.* [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/testsite/wordpress.* [NC]

# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule (.*) /testsite/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

# Do rewrite blog directory
RewriteRule ^blog(.*)$ /testsite/index.php?main_page=blog&$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

Like I said Hira, I understand WHY you coded ver 1.5 of WOZ the way you did, but respectfully, I believe your development approach is wrong.. As you can see from my test site, there are other blog solutions that DO NOT require hacking of other modules to work well with them.. IMHO, your development approach for WOZ will cause more problems than it solves.. Your solution also only solves compatibility issues with ONE module (and I maintain that I DO NOT agree with your solution to the Ceon URI compatibility issue). There are other modules that seem to still have compatibility issues with WOZ, and I don't see anything in your code that addresses THOSE incompatibility issues.. IMHO, WOZ is STILL not fully ready for use on a production site for those reasons. Happy to be proven wrong about this, but so far I am not seeing any signs that I am wrong..

Thank you for a report.
I asked you a question the other day because I seemed to use the URL of the default when I tried your demonstration site.
eg: http://www.example.com/blog/?cat=1

I thought whether I do not cope besides the default, but do not seem to have any problem.
I refer to it and want to test it.

Thanks, Hira! I'm rebuilding all of my development on a new laptop, but I hope to be able to try this out soon. Sounds like a great improvement over the old 1.2 versions I was last working with. I was always getting your code from your site directly, so I wouldn't be impacted by the issues with whether it can be downloaded from this site; however, I would be impacted if you and the rest of our user community would be prevented from discussing our problems and sharing our solutions with each other here.

If you are unable to continue support here, I hope that you will improve the support at your site.

Thanks again for your contribution! Karen
