Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[willieWontGo]

Hello, I installed WOZ and it embeds nicely. Works with Connor's URI mod nicely as well. :)

I have one issue - with this mod installed, the shipping estimator does not work.

When I enter data into the fields, such as State and Zip Code, nothing happens. The screen just refreshes and no data output is shown.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

I need it but not as good as I need.

Then improve it. That's what open source is all about.

Has anyone found a fix to truly use WOZ with SSU.. I could not use numinix's hack because it would have meant uninstalling WOZ which worked fine. Is there a way I can turn off SSU for woz at all

I have tried to upgrade my previous version of wordpress that was working perfectly fine on my zen cart site. I originally upgraded to Wordpress 3.0 and it makes my site go completely blank. So I then tried to do a fresh installation of wordpress 2.9 with a fresh database and when I do to my zen cart admin side and install it from there it wipes the whole website blank. As soon as i click the uninstall button it makes the website work fine again. I have tried to read the instructions over and over again and I believe I have installed everything correctly but the instructions are a bit hard to understand.

Has anyone else been having this problem and if soe does anyone know how to fix it? Any help would be great.

@Elvis: ssiigghh. Join the club, dude. I'm also struggling mightily with this issue. As soon as I figure it out, I'll post my results *Immediately*. But until then, you might try this:

...I'm hoping that Dr. Byte himself will look at this solution and comment on it here. This is the solution I'm working with currently, until the zencart team comes up with something.

*sigh* I have deleted the WOZ install on my cart and installed the numinix one and am still having problems. I can see my blog and and I can see my site but can not get them to work together on the same page.

Just gets me my blog and I have checked and rechecked the installation instructions and I dont have any idea why i am not getting the correct results. I am using Ultimate URLS i dont know if this might be the problem....?

Unless Dr Byte plans to re-write WOZ (which is unlikely) I'm not sure what you expect from him for this particular module. As far as I'm aware there are no plans by the Zen Cart team to include WordPress embedding in any future Zen Cart release..

WOZ has been problematic for YEARS.. Reading through this support thread will give a full list of all the issues and solutions/patches. IMO the Numinix solution works much better and has better support.. if you are having issues with it, you should post your questions on the Numinix blog/forum. (I suggest checking your install and make sure you followed ALL of the instructions.. You should also read through the existing comments before posting new questions)

...Welp, nKay, I have to the best of my ability captured the entire sordid story Here. ...Looks like I've got a loooooong road ahead of me trying to get the two to work, hacking my own PHP server-side code and maintaining that hacked code to keep up with wordpress and zencart updates. Wish I knew PHP nearly as well as I know ASP...

......I guess my final thought on this issue - and this one is directed to DrByte himself - is: will zencart *ever* have proper support for *any* CMS embedding, not just WordPress. Or, proper exposure of the Zencart API so that CMS authors and users can safely call Zencart API functions so that CMS embedding is not necessary. Nix geeks and IT pros, if of a high enough skill level, sure they can just hack away...but it should be seamless and robust for administrators and tech-savvy users as well. Standing by....
