Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

I just had one other thought, wanting to make sure that I'm doing this right. This seems like PHP 101, but can someone tell me if both installations- ZC and WP have to be on the same database? > characterdriven:

I haven't gotten this to work yet. The config file is fine, everything installed properly for both ZC and WP and I can log into the admin section on each, just can't find a front end and the error is DB related so I'm kind of baffled.

but can someone tell me if both installations- ZC and WP have to be on the same database?Preferably, Yes, and Word Press/Wordpress module should
be installed in zencart directory and not in it's own folder..HTH

Hello Hira ,

...
I remember seeing dev post that ZenCart 1.35 is unstable and not recommended for testing anything much.. suggest you try latest version i.e. 1.37.1

I have finished tested on 1.3.5//

Mod works fine.

But i can not enable the "Permalinks" to customize the URL .

Hi Misty, do you how to enable it?

Sorry, readme file was wrong

Step4)File editing of WordPress
Open [wp-include/template-loader.php], and please alter all "exit;" into "return;".

I tried Ultimate SEO URLs.
Because I wrote the method here, please refer to it.

Hmm. So I just installed Wordpress 2.2.1 in it's own directory. Then uploaded all the files for the mod, but I am getting nothing. I have some new options in the Layout Controller, but it doesn't really do much. It did turn on a "blog sidebar" link of text that has nothing, and when you click it there is an error. Then I turned if off, and it won't go away! Ugh!

So, can anyone help. I follwed the mod instructions to a tee. I am really frustrated about now.

Should I undo it all, and re-install IN my cart directory? Does it not work properly in it's own directory?

Note: using zen cart 1.3.7 w/ wordpress 2.2.1

Another thing I wanted to point is what seems to be a typo in the README:

Step4) File editing of WordPress
Open [wp-include/template-loader.php], and please replace "exit;" with "exit;".

so, it asks us to change "exit;" with "exit;"? There is no difference here!

umm...

thanks for report.

Open [Path of Zen-Cart]/includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php
please check,
define ('ABSPATH','[Path of WordPress]/');

I'm having same problem as magneteye.
I was able to enable sideboxes, but nothing shows in the main blog area.

BTW I can enter the blog via

http://www.versatilereproductions.com/Wordpress/wordpress/

but as you see on my main page, it doesn't show:
http://www.versatilereproductions.com/

here is my /includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php

<?php // // wordpress on zencart by <http://www.s-page.net/> // define ('ABSPATH','/www.versatilereproductions.com/Wordpress/wordpress/'); $woz_install=0; if (file_exists(ABSPATH.'wp-config.php')) { $woz_install=1; define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); $wp_did_header = true; require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-config.php'); $i=strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG); $req=substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1); if($req=='?'){ $_GET['main_page']='wordpress'; } if(isset($_GET['feed'])){ wp(); gzip_compression(); // require_once('./wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php'); require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php'); exit(); } } ?>

It seems that ABSPATHis wrong
define ('ABSPATH','***');

Please set it in reference to [includes/configure.php] on the server again.

hmm, still not working.
If I understood you correctly, I added the line:

define ('ABSPATH','/www.versatilereproductions.com/Wordpress/wordpress/');

to;
/includes/configure.php

as well as;

/includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php

hi,
It seems to have been hard to understand my explanation.

1.At first open [/includes/configure.php] on the server.
2.Please look at the line of [ define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '***'); ] ,
and please copy text .
3.Open [/includes/extra_configures/wordpress-config.php] ,
and please paste a []+WordPress directory.
If it is your environment, it is the following images.
define ('ABSPATH','***wordpress/');

An important thing is to input it without making a mistake a　COMPLETE path to your WordPress directory.

OK, that makes sense.
Unfortunately, still doesn't work.
I've PM'd both files to you to take a closer look.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I'm having trouble with integrating Wordpress into Zen Cart. First I had Wordpress in a separate file to Zen Cart and that worked fine but I wanted to integrate it into Zen Cart. I followed all of the instructions and have read every post on here and I still can't find the solution to my problem.

When I go to my wordpress url http://www.beautyxpress.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=wordpress/

it comes up with the error
file not found /home/bea15660/public_html/store/index.php?main_page=wordpress/wp-config.php

(please excuse my site at the moment as it is a work in progress).

I believe I have followed all of the instructions but it's just not happening for me. I did put wordpress into a different sql database but I don't believe this to be the problem.

If anyone could help that would be great!
