Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

Does it combine user-login? (Or will bloggers and shoppers need to sign up twice?)
Does not combine user login...yes..sign up twice.
Can WordPress still be accessed outside zencart? (Or ist look and feel of a single site?)
Can only be accessed successfully via zencart site

Bit confused here. If I go to /index.php?main_page=wordpress I get nothing. If I go to /store/? I get the blog. That's no problem but when I set an internal URL in ezy-pages as ? I get no "?" and the link goes to index.php, not the blog. Any thoughts how I can get index.php?main_page=wordpress working again? It worked before a server move.

TIA

Got it sorted. index.php?main_page=wordpress does not work but ?main_page=wordpress does work. Still confused though...

add excerpt return blank.

anyone has this problem? when i add a post with excerpt, it return a blank page /blog/wp-admin/post.php

the post anf excerpt indeed inserted when i check back later.

post without excerpt just works fine.

zen cart 1.38a UTF8
wordpress 2.85

Now I have my blog work. however, with Simple SEO URL on, index.php?main_page=wordpress only get the home page for zen cart....any solution?

Thank you for WOZ the use. In addition, I have this forum respond to all of you and thank you.

I Released WordPress On ZenCart v1.4 !
Because I contributed it to here, I think that it is reflected soon, but can download it by follows.
http://www.s-page.net/products/62.html

I tested Zen-Cart 1.3.8 & WordPress 2.8.6. It is the most recent version of the present.

The update content is as follows.

* Supports WordPress 2.8.6 & widgets.
* Change it so that it is put a header of WordPress in a Zen-Cart template.
* Add a default theme for woz(woz_default).
* Add absolute pass investigation script (check_path.php) for installation assistance.
* Profit by a zen_href_link function in a link.
* Change the specifications that ‘index.php?main_page=wordpress’ becomes ‘/?’.
* Link ahead revises one part of the problems to become the ‘/?’.
* Fixed the bug that a breadcrumb and page title cannot get.

Talk about coming back in with a bang..:shocking: Please don't take this wrong Hira, but color me SURPRISED to see you post here again!:laugh:

I was just setting up a new test site with the previous version of WOZ... So I can't wait to test this new version out.. I have been using only the WOZ sideboxes from the previous version of WOZ.. I had far too many issues getting the blog embedding features of the previous WOZ version to work with the latest versions of WP.. So it will be nice to see a new improved version of WOZ that works with the new WordPress versions. I have a few questions though:

What's the difference between the free and "professional" editions of WOZ?
Will this be compatible with PHP 5.3??
Will you be around more often for support questions??
ETA: Found the answer to the last question on Hira's blog:laugh:

In addition, I cannot answer it even if I have emails because I am weak in English. Please understand it.

Thank you Hira...does it work with PHP5.3?

DivaVocals:

What's the difference between the free and "professional" editions of WOZ?Reading really is fundamental..:laugh::laugh::laugh:
A difference of free editon & professional editon As for the free edition, credit and the advertisement of the copyright are displayed, but have you use it free. In a design, the one that wants to delete these please order professional editon. professional editon is charged. It is very easy, and the shift of professional editon has you just use the post data from a free edition. (You don't need the uninstallation)
The difference of both is only a footer design as I stated it above. It is recommended to have you order professional editon since it has you test it in a free edition enough.So this leaves only my last question..:laugh:

misty & DivaVocals

Thank you for a reply. :smile:
At first I must apologize for what I did not release for two years either and the forum having looked.
I'm sorry.

This was a Japanese special problem, but the WordPress Japanese edition did not support EUC-JP. (It support UTF-8)
WOZ was an untouched state since WordPress did not support EUC-JP because the Zen-Cart Japanese edition was EUC-JP.
Therefore I did not do the test in latest WordPress either.

There were still many demands from the Japanese user to want to use latest WordPress. I added inside handling of character code conversion and released a v1.4 Japanese edition. And I released the English version which merged the bugfix or function addition.

When I was after a long absence, and I came for a forum for a report, there were a great many replies and was surprised.
I really thank the people who had you support this thread. :hug:

Because I am weak in English, I make machine translation by translation software. Because it is machine translation, it is often that I find it very difficult to understand. (The slang cannot understand 100%)
On the contrary, I think that I tend not to be able to understand it because my English is opportunity translation. Please understand it.

By the way, it is the matter of the question.

DivaVocals:

What's the difference between the free and "professional" editions of WOZ?

To be different is a design of the footer part. A copyright and an advertisement are displayed in a free edition, and it is not displayed in a professional edition.
In professional edition, there are not the special support and function either. It is only the difference of the footer design to the last.
I made it a registration system in 20 dollars /1 site to delete credit, but did it in such a system so far because I was complicated.

Because there is not environment of PHP5.3, I am missing. I'm sorry.

It is a problem that my English is poor as had written down by the above. (This reply was necessary for approximately 1 hour, too):(
If it is the problem that I can understand in English plain as possible, I want to answer it.

i know i used this intergration a while back but at the end i just picked up a small peice of code that i found while doing a search on google and slapped it into my main page area. it's not as smooth as having the wordpress on your site but for me it was simplier to try and make wordpress look like my site then it was to tie them together. but then again it was over a year ago when i was trying to tie them together it have been harder back then then it is now.

i do have to say the sites that i seen that are intergrated look great, you guys have come alone way in the last 2yrs i might even take another bite at thie mod

WordPress templates are pretty easy to manipulate..

While this mod is great, I've never had much success getting all of it to work well for me.. So I am anxious to see what the never version brings.. Besides I discovered that my clients were never as interested in blog "integration" as I was.. Besides a TRUE integration would also tie the users and admin back ends of these apps together..

I've been using just the sideboxes from WOZ to display the blog content in the store.. (I use the sidebox that displays the content of all your WordPress sidebars -- and a little CSS magic to suppress the display of any sidebar content I don't want seen on the Zen Cart side). This has been an effective way to link they blog to the store. On the WordPress side I use the blogroll and a WP plugin called "Link Order" to create links back to the store's product categories.

All that said, I'll check out and test the new version of WOZ.. Hopefully it addresses some of the integration issues I had with the latest versions of WordPress.. I might also try out Numinix's method for integrating WorPress too and compare the two.. If neither of these works for me, my method of achieving "integration" using the WOZ sideboxes has worked well for me, and I can continue to use it..

i never really looked into too many WP mods as i feel i'll have enough to deal with when i upgrade my zencart to version 2.0, but i'm curious about those 2 mods as i'd like to intertwine the 2 sites a bit better especially on the WP side as you can see http://news.gorillagear.ca

The blogroll is the built in WP widget that you can use to display links to other sites on your WP blog.. I use it to link the blog back to the store categories.. The WP blogroll displays links in the order they were entered. The Link Order plugin allows you to specify the order (similar to how sort orders in Zen Cart works)

I have searched and searched and searched, and I have yet to find an answer to my following dilemna. Simply put, I want the main page that the user goes to when they click "home" or just type in my url to display my blog. I have both installed correctly at http://blackcuproaster.com/index.php?main_page=, but cannot find a way to show the blog on the home page. Any help would be great with this matter. Thank you.

To avoid conflicting way zencart requires its index file, only possible way is to add wordpress code to define main page,
which will show certain blog posts of your choosing.
Then set zencart, if necessary, to not show any sideboxes
on main index page..
i.e.
