Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

Over the passed couple of years, many users of the Google Base Feeder and similar modules have cited issues created by the Wordpress on Zen Cart (WoZ) module.

So, I've created a tutorial on how to integrate wordpress into your Zen Cart.

This was mentioned in the Numinix Forum today:
Due to upgrades and changes on the Numinix server, the website will be inaccessible intermittently over the next couple of days. If the website does not load, try again in a few minutes. Everything is stable at the time of this post.

So, I've been using the WOZ mod for a while now and really like it. I'd like to add an RSS feed for the blog and it's giving me fits, haha.

I've searched on here for solutions but haven't seemed to come up with any. Here's the details:

The site is running 1.3.7 with the WOZ mod at aestheticsbodyjewelry.com.

I've used 'define main page' and code from the wordpress documentation to add a feed to each post, and when I click on the feed image at the top of each post I get a normal-looking feed. BUT, when I search on google reader or anything similar, I don't.

I tried using the RSS2 add-on but didn't have any luck getting it to work (and it seems from the forums that others using WOZ have had similar problems?). I like the idea of having a feed for products and everything on the site that the RSS2 add-on does and that would be a great perk, but if I could just get the feed for the blog working that would be enough to satisfy me, haha.

Any advice would be appreciated -- thanks in advance!

If you look back a page or two Andrew posted a fix for using the RSS feed mod and WOZ..

Thanks!

That looks like the solution, but...

unless I'm missing something I don't have that line of code in my wp-config.php file? I tried just adding it in and that definitely didn't work, haha.

Is there another wp-config file that I don't know about somewhere?

You are editing the wrong file..

a_berezin:

Edit your wordpress-config.php
Find

if(isset($_GET['feed'])){

> ```
if (isset($_GET['feed']) && ($_GET['feed'] == 'rss2' || $_GET['feed'] == 'comments-rss2')) {

Where is wordpress-config.php located? I've searched all the files in the wordpess folders and have come up with nothing. All I have is wp-config in the root directory of my store as per the installation of the wordpress on zen-cart add-on. Am I overlooking it?

I don't know the answer to location, but if you are using an ftp program, there should be a search option on it, I use coreftp it's free and I use it to find files all the time, just pick your root directory and search all files for that exact file, it should find it for you no problem, sorry I cant just give you a direct answer, but alot of people don't know that you can search for files using an ftp program, but it is really easy.

Hope that helps some,
Richard

wordpress-config file SHOULD BE IN ZENCART FOLDER
/includes/extra_configures/

Thanks! I found it there.

I'm using FireFTP and it does have a search function, but for some reason it didn't seem to find that file. It only found the wp-config.php file.

I changed that line of code and uploaded back to the server but it didn't seem to change anything... do I need to use code to add the RSS feed within the loop on my define main page? That's how I had it inserted in the first place but that's where I ran into the initial problems.

Thanks again for all the help!

I have installed the mod and when I click on the archives I can see my posts, but when I go to "index.php?main_page=wordpress"

I get nothing...

http://www.bloomfieldsportsshop.com/store

Any ideas why the front page does not show?

Try

http://bloomfieldsportsshop.com/store/?

misty:

Try

http://bloomfieldsportsshop.com/store/?

It works when you type it in directly but when you click on the link from the sidebar you still get nothing.

Also, it only works if I have the sidebar turned on. If I turn off the sidebar I don't even get it when I type it in direct

Hello,

Thanks Hira for this addon. I am completely new to the shopping cart system and would greatly appreciate any help and advice I can get.

All my content is being managed by Wordpress, at which I have a custom template that I have been using.

I am trying to incorporate a shopping cart system to the Wordpress website, and Zen Cart came highly recommended.

I have (finally!) successfully installed both Zen Cart and Wordpress in the same directory (public_html). I believe this is okay? Since it is okay to install both in the same directory. However, now I only see my Wordpress page, and nothing of the shopping cart.

Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?

Is it possible to control how the shopping cart looks using Wordpress template?

As I am writing this plead for help, it occurred to me that maybe I could run the main site in the main directory, and then create a subdirectory just for the shopping cart (zen + another wordpress)? Is this viable? Or naive and short-sighted?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8
Wordpress 2.8.4

Is this viable? Or naive and short-sighted?You might want to take some time to read through this thread to get a feel for this mod and how it's being used to help answer your question.. Again this mod only embeds WordPress into a Zen Cart store, so your approach may have to be modified..

Did you overwrite zencart index,php file with wordpress index.php file?

DivaVocals:

This add-on won't make Zen Cart show in your WOrdPress blog, rather it will make your WordPress blog content appear in your Zen Cart store..

Two questions about this:

1. Does it combine user-login? (Or will bloggers and shoppers need to sign up twice?)

2. Can WordPress still be accessed outside zencart? (Or ist look and feel of a single site?)
