Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

pricediscrimination:

While I'm grateful that someone started such a cool mod, this thread seems to be full of question after question with no real answers. Most of the sites I checked in this thread seem to have totally given up on getting this to work and just installed wordpress on its own page.

I installed it and its not working at all. I followed the poor instructions step by step. I wish the few who actually got this mod to work would revisit this thread and enlighten us instead of just disappearing to conquer their next task =)
What is not working...if you dont specify,we dont have crystal balls to look into..

Hi Misty;

I've had no probs with this mod even with the current WP-2.7

Has anyone ever considered bundling up the WOZ package and the current version of WP as a ZC add-on?

Putting everything in the right place and making some adjustments to the default template that comes with WP to be more ZC friendly (like not calling the sidebar on almost every page) and removing wp index.php from the kit might simplify things for many folks.

Along with some clear tested instructions on what/where to edit and how to jump to the new wp install to finish up as normal.

I address this to you as you seem to be lead on this cool mod.

Just a thought.

There is already wordpress addon/mod from above.
ZenCart version 2.0 is due out very soon..WordPress
mod will then almost certainly have to be recoded.

Ya, what I mean is combine that module with the current version of WP (2.7 as I write this) so that installing the mod installs both the mod you mention AND WP itself with a few minor edits to the default WP template to make it play nicer with ZC out of the box.

Say call it, WOZ+WP...

And yes, ZC 2.0 changes much, but by the time it's out of beta it will still be some time.

On the other hand, it could just be a silly idea. I have lots of those. I leave it up to you to sort them out :)

Thanks for the reply. I was very frustrated when I wrote that post haha. I'm still getting this message "file not found site.com/blog/wp-config.php" when I go to http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall and it's still there. Is it because I am installing wordpress in its own directory /blog?

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to install wordpress manually since godaddy's hosting connection won't allow me to install wordpress into the root since zencart is already there.

Godaddy hosting does not always play well together with
Zencart..how it fairs with Word Press..no idea..search zen cart forums for Godaddy.

That sounds strange. When you have wordpress installed, you don't actually overwrite the zen cart index.php file in the root directory... So Zen Cart is really still your main installation, Wordpress just has its files piled up around it.

It seems like its worth a shot, or is GoDaddy all strict about this kind of thing?

Oh, I get what you were saying, manually vs. automatic, but you will still do the install, so just disregard this.

Hi, i think they set it up like that so people dont overwrite their current setup when they try to add new programs to their space.

I've installed wordpress before but as far as i can remember, its a pain in the ###### haha. I recall their instructions weren't the easiest to follow (kinda like the ones for this mod =P jk )

aesthetics:

I'm attempting to install this onto our site, and I'm not having any luck. Possibly it's something I'm doing wrong? The directions with the readme file seem a little muddy, but maybe it's just my inexperience...

ZC on our site has its own folder (aestheticsbodymod.com/store.... /store being the ZC folder).

I'm just going to copy/paste vaguely the instructions from the readme file and add what I'm doing... anyone help on where I'm going wrong?

I uploaded everything but the index.php file into aestheticsbodymod.com/store (NOT the whole wordpress folder, just the contents of that folder) via FileZilla

I changed /store so that the permission is 777.

Ran the install for WP.

Changed the WP settings so that the folder matches the folder of my store -- so that's the same as where I uploaded it, right? aestheticsbodymod.com/store is what I put there... at this point, if I go to aestheticsbodymod.com/store I still see our store as usual, and if I click on "view blog" or whatever in WP's admin panel, it takes me to the ZC store as well. Should that be the case? I tried uploading it to a separate folder (aestheticsbodymod.com/store/wordpress) and at this point in the game I could go to aestheticsbodymod.com/store/wordpress and see the skeleton of an un-touched wordpress blog -- but I had read in some of the other comments that this mod only works well with ZC if you do option B and install WP into ZC's folder? I think this might be where my confusion is, but I tried it both ways and am still stumped...

Anyway...

Changed the theme on WP (it was already set to that as default actually).

Changed /ZC_ROOT/includes/templates/MY_TEMP to /ZC_ROOT/includes/templates/custom (my custom template name)

Uploaded the contents (NOT the entire folders, right?) of ZC_ROOT and WC_ROOT to aestheticsbodymod.com/store via dragging and dropping in FZ.

Didn't need to change all the 'exit' parts to 'return' since it's a new version of WP.

Changed "'ABSPATH','/var/www/vhost/example.com/public_html/blog/'"
to "ABSPATH','http://www.aestheticsbodymod.com/store'"

Logged into ZC's admin panel to make the sideboxes visible...

still doesn't work.

Any ideas? Based on my input here, is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried this install a few times now and tried to do it a couple different ways, and I'm still not getting it to work. When I load "http://aestheticsbodymod.com/store/index.php?main_page=wordpress"

I get a file not found error still... same as if I click on any of the sidebar links for the blog in ZC.

Thanks in advance for the help!

This reply is dated, but i'm trying to use this mod too and have followed all the steps outlined, here, no luck. blank page not even a home page or file not found. installed several times per directions. despite this post, this thread shows NO answer or remedy to the question. Can any one clearly state the steps that enabled this to work. I'm using 1.3.8 zen, 2.7 wordpress all in the same folder http://www.short-wedding-dresses.net but nothing shows. The database is the same too. still no dice. heres what i have in the wordpress-config. php, is this the right syntax? define ('ABSPATH',);
('ABSPATH','http://www.short-wedding-dresses.net/');
$woz_install=0;

did i miss a step?:(

I just read through most of the forum before installing WP (someone please correct me if I missed it) and from my understanding, Google Base Feeder and Wordpress don't work together. It's either WP or Google Base. I hope that helps!

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/oragever/public_html/includes/templates/magic/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/oragever/public_html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850

I installed this, and I got the exact same error when I go to the WordPress link:
http://testsite.overthehillweb.com/zentest1/index.php?main_page=wordpress

I've searched this whole thread for an answer, and while I see others reporting the same or similar error, I am not seeing a solid solution to clear this error.

All the sideboxes links seem to be working fine, but the main blog page does not. I've looked at the pluggable.php file, hoping the answer might be obvious.. But alas it's not..

Any ideas??

So I did a little more research.. Now I still don't know the solution, but I've gotten a clue as to the cause..

My error message is this:> Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/o/v/e/overthehill/html/testsite.overthehillweb.com/zentest1/includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php:22) in /home/content/o/v/e/overthehill/html/testsite.overthehillweb.com/zentest1/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850I found this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Answers-Troubleshooting#Headers_already_sent
The relevant portion is this:> Interpreting the Error Message:

If the error message states: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/blog/wp-config.php:34) in /path/blog/wp-login.php on line 42, then the problem is at line #34 of wp-config.php, not line #42 of wp-login.php. In this scenario, line #42 of wp-login.php is the victim. It is being affected by the excess whitespace at line #34 of wp-config.php.

If the error message states: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/wp-admin/admin-header.php:8) in /path/wp-admin/post.php on line 569, then the problem is at line #8 of admin-header.php, not line #569 of post.php. In this scenario, line #569 of post.php is the victim. It is being affected by the excess whitespace at line #8 of admin-header.php.So based on this, the issue I am having is in this file: includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php. And the offending line is this:```

So I stepped away from this for a bit to give my problem some thought.. It occurred to me that nowhere in this thread could I confirm that anyone had successfully gotten this mod working correctly with WordPress v2.7. (Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong) So I decided to try one more thing.. Here's what I did:

1. I deleted ALL of the WordPress v2.7 files (Note: I ONLY deleted the WordPress files, and left all of the WOZ mod files in place)
2. I opened up my hosts database manager and dropped all of my WordPress tables
3. I then uploaded the WordPress v2.5 files (all files with the exception of the "index.php" & "license.txt" files)
4. I followed the WordPress installation instructions, and installed WordPress v2.5
   and.... TADA!!!!

Now when I go to: http://testsite.overthehillweb.com/zentest1/index.php?main_page=wordpress

IT WORKS...:clap:
Please note that I DO NOT have WordPress installed in a seperate directory. I uploaded all of the WordPress files into the same folder where Zen Cart files reside.

So the moral of the story for me is that WordPress on Zen does not appear to work correctly with WordPress v2.7.. The sidebozes worked perfectly, but the "index.php?main_page=wordpress" page got the error I postd earlier.. I wanted to share my experience here in case anyone else is having the same error on their "index.php?main_page=wordpress" page. I've looked at a few of the links posted in this thread, and it appears that a few folks are indeed getting this same error, but they look like they are working around it by only using the WOZ sideboxes.

Now if anyone has successfully gotten this mod to work with WordPress v2.7, I would be grateful for any tips on how you got it to work.. For now I'll learn to live with this.. Ideally it would be nce to use this great mod with the latest and greatest version of WordPress..

I can say for certain, the WOZ plugin works perfectly with WP 2.7 and ZC 1.3.8

kiddo:

I can say for certain, the WOZ plugin works perfectly with WP 2.7 and ZC 1.3.8Care to share how you got it to work without the error message some of us seem to be getting.. I installed it on a FRESH copy of Zen 1.3.8a, and it did not work..

As I stated in my previous posts, my issue with Wordpress v2.7 and this mod is that the sideboxes work fine (and the links within them as well) but the main blog page "index.php?main_page=wordpress" does not..

I didn't do anything special or that's not part of the instructions. It just worked.

I installed into same directory as Zen Cart.
