Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

[wagnerguy]

hello all, I am reloading woz. I just downloaded the latest version.. I have copied all the files to the appropiate place, and I am using "blog" as the folder location. when I go to admin and woz manager. and confirm the location I get the following message

Warning WordPress config(wp-config.php) was not found.

I have checked the location using check-path.php.

the wierd thing is, I cant find the (wp-config.php) in the original folder anywhere. in the older versions, its located in extra_configures folder. Shoudl I just load an older version?

Sounds like a Wordpress support question.

Oh what the hell ... in the latest version of WP the config file is in the root folder, sound like that's "blog" on your site.

ok, I saw i there.. why is my manager looking for the older version name.

Could it be that I uninstalled it incorrectly the first time?

I'm trying to get some flash mp3 players to work with WOZ, but none of them seem to work. I guess the issue is with the code in header/footer, but can't seem to work it out. I noticed that <?php wp_head(); ?> was missing from the header.php, but it still doesn't work. Anything else to check?

OK guys. Just a reminder that this is the Zen Cart support forum.

If you have questions about Wordpress (as opposed to Wordpress integration with Zen Cart) then the Wordpress support forum is the place to ask them.

I seem to have just got this working - early days not fully tested, but now have side boxes and blog details showing, but is it possible to put this side box anywhere.

What I would like to do is call the last couple of posts into a box with in my define_main_page (front page). I think this is would be using wp_post side box. But what is the code to call this in to any page (front page - define_page or a EZpages)

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi I am using zencart vsn 1.38 and wordpress 3, i have tried installing the wordpress plugin but it seems that everytime i select the default theme it all crashes and says page not found and then i have to delete wordpress and start again. I have followed all of the instructions, but it just doesn't seem to make any difference.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

...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...

...Give up on this, and switch to ecwid.

Right.. I don't want to go in to the many reasons why this is comparing apples to oranges, but here's a FEW reasons that folks who would want to use the WOZ plug in or add-ons like it (AKA the Numinix solution) with Zen Cart over ECWID..

Let me start with the OBVIOUS.

1. ECWID is NOT FREE.. (http://www.ecwid.com/compare-plans.html) The Basic plan is free if you only have 100 products. After that you can pay $17 per month for the Silver plan.
2. ECWID is a HOSTED solution. Meaning?? You do not own nor can you easily transfer your data since it will be stored on ECWID's servers.
3. ECWID is NOT customizable without PAYING ECWID for that customzation.

You should be using WOZ and other blog embedding solutions with Zen Cart is you are looking to pair WordPress' features with the best ecommerce solution. Clearly you are looking to add e-commerce features to WordPress (which is a DIFFERENT site setup scenario). So blog embedding may not be the solution for you.

Good luck with your site.. I'm glad you found a solution that you will be happy with.

...Or better yet, switch to ecwid.

You're right, it's just incorrect to compare Ecwid and "WordPress on Zencart". They have completely different approaches.

Ecwid is a SaaS shopping cart. "WordPress on Zencart" is a script which you use on your own server/hosting.

SaaS and "your own app on your own server" models have different pros and cons. So we cannot really say that for example any of them is definitely better than the other one. It depends on what you want to get.

SaaS`s pros: no issues or problems with upgrades, security, performance.
Cons: no access to the source code, thus limited customization abilities

"Your own app on your own server"`s pros: access to the source code, so you can modify anything you want
Cons: you should tweak, change and maintain everything (code, servers, upgrades) yourself.

The different apps for people with different needs.
