Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[deemurphy]

I am having problems with wordpress_on_zencart_v1-5. I have done everything it says to do but it is not coming up on my testing server. I always put it there before uploading to my hosting server. I do not want it in a sidebox but in the header which is the
header_dropdown_menu_css_1-0. If this can not work, how would I do this with EZ pages, This is something my client has asked for.

I have it installed like this http://lightingmadesimple.com/wordpress/

Thanks for any assistance with this.

You best bet is to install it according to the instructions and then see if you can get the standard install to work first (use the sidebox). Also, check this thread for the history of caveats in using this mod. Good luck!

So a few thoughts..

It doesn't appear you have WOZ installed AT ALL.. (or you have it installed incorrectly) Your blog should be integrated as a part of the store content and yours is CLEARLY not integrated at all..

I do not want it in a sidebox but in the header which is the
header_dropdown_menu_css_1-0.

You should pose the question for how to add items to this menu on the support thread for this module. If there is no support thread, then you should post a new question to get this question answered as it is NOT related specifically to WOZ.

If this can not work, how would I do this with EZ pages, This is something my client has asked for.

You should pose the question for how to create EZ Page links in a separate thread as it is NOT related specifically to WOZ. I suggest though starting with the Zen Cart FAQs as there are quite a good ones few covering EZ Pages.

I was finally able to get it to work.

I just installed it the way it should be installed. Pointed to
http://lightingmadesimple.com/wordpress/ and put it in my drop down.


Thank you

Huh?? How is this an embedded blog??? This looks like a separate blog which IS NOT embedded or even linked via blog content sideboxes.. The ONLY link to the blog is a menu item which takes you to the blogs home page.. If you have installed WOZ (ANY version), it certainly doesn't look like it's installed correctly..

[deemurphy]

I did not use the embeded. I just attached to link to an item I have in my header by editing the tpl_modules_drop_menu and adding the link to where it is located.

Thank you

I just set up a new install of ZC 138a and installed the Wordpress on Zencart 1.5 module.

I am getting a blank page when I install the module. After I run the install in the ZC admin, all my public store page go blank. I checked the error log and no errors are showing up. Worpress looks good, Zen cart runs fine when Wordpress in uninstalled.

One thing I noticed in the directions that confuses me is this:
Setting > General > Blog address (URL) change to [Zen-Cart URL].( NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of URL)

My Wordpress admin will NOT allow a trailing slash '/' on the Blog address (URL). Every time I put a trailing slash '/' and click submit, it comes back with no trailing slash... Does anyone else have this problem?

Any suggestions appreciated. I have installed the old version of Wordpress on Zencart before but having some problems with this one.

Also I noticed that the folder ZC_ROOT/includes/extra_configures is empty in the module's install files. Is there a missing file?

[Picci]

Following up on my post above, I found that the "trailing slash" is set on the Blog URI in the database table 'options' after I looked at the database. It appears that wordpress just doesn't display the trailing slash on the wordpress admin settings page, kind of odd to me, but apparently not the root of my problem.

I will set up a new clean ZC 1.3.8a and install this module first and see if I can get it running. This current rollup has a few mods but they are all playing nicely together, except for my problem with WOZ 1.5.

I am still a bit unsure of why there is an empty folder 'extra_configures' in the module's files. It is includes/extra_configures and there is just an empty extra_configures folder, no file(s) in it? I have downloaded the mod from Zen Cart add-ons and also from Hira's web site and they both have this empty extra_configures directory.

I also saw the reference to 1.5.1 in a post above. Is there an upgrade somewhere for 1.5.1? I can only find 1.5 in the Zen Cart add-ons and at Hira's site.

Thanks for your support.

Thank you and I will try it again then.
