Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

Hey Guys, probably a simpleton question here, I installed WOZ practically trouble free on 1.3.9 - although I do have to say that the only theme which doesnt re-write my display is woz_default, but its a fine addition...

My problem is the comments alignment issue... I would like to include comments in the posts, but when someone clicks to comment on a post the whole page aligns or floats to the far right, and thus interferes with my right sidebox. I'm sure that somewhere I can edit for the comments to not move to the right, its just escaping me right now!

Unfortunately I can't show you this live, but i'm including a screen shot of it...

Screenshot - Comments Float Right

I have re-read this thread a few times and can not find what I am looking for. Hopefully someone here has the answer or can point me in the right direction.

On my test site I have installed:
Zen 1.3.8a
Wordpress 2.9.2
WOZ 1.5 (w/WOZ default theme)

Everything is working so far. :D However, when I click on a link to go to a blog page, the blog pages loads, but is much wider then the Zen Cart pages. Question 1, how do I change the with of the WP pages?

Question 2, how do I stop the WP header from loading?

Thanks.

Hey DivaVocals & All - I haven't been on here in months and was hoping after finishing reading this book, that it would end with every one lived happily, ever after. Not so much yet! Sounds like there's a working version if you don't have any other
mods. :P

I'll check back in July :laugh:

I'll check back in July :laugh::laugh::laugh: Nope.. Still requires hacks to other mods, and the pattern seems to be that hacks are developed and built in to the mod as issues are reported.. So who knows what else blows up because of this mod.. The latest versions have built in hacks to other mods (most notably Ceons URI module) to force things to play nice together.. The sideboxes only edition apparently no longer works with the latest version of Zen Cart.... So glad I have a cleaner more flexible alternative which requires NO hacks to other mods to play nicely with them..

Gonna have a look at the sideboxes only edition this weekend (finally have some free time to have a go at it..) and see if I can figure out what about Hira's code is not playing well with 1.3.9b..:wacko:

Sounds great, I've been waiting for that. :hug:

Dang DV, and you had the best working solution of everyone until the Zen Cart release. I feel for you all! I'll just let everyone else figure it all out before I get involved with the blog embedding again. Good luck to you and the others. :yes: Work hard for me :flex:

Sounds great, I've been waiting for that. :hug:OMG ideasgirl!!! Soooooo sorry.. I should have gotten back to you sooner on this.. Been soooooooooooo crazy busy with work and other client projects that it slipped my mind..

The WOZ Sideboxes Only Edition was based on Hira's code (which is very different than my custom sideboxes code) is not working sigh.. Gotta figure out what else I need to hack out of that thing to get it to play nice with the latest Zen..:flex:

No problem girl! We are all in the same boat, all the free stuff is *"whenever we have the time". *We are :cool:

Hi Conor,

just wondering if you might have some good news for us...:smile:any update?

conor:

Hi,

Just letting you know that I've got 1.5.1 from hira and that I see the code he's added for handling Ceon URI Mapping.

It's a public holiday here for Easter from tomorrow, so I don't think I can get this all sorted until I get back from my holidays on Wednesday but I will get this sorted as soon as possible so that that hopefully Ceon URI Mapping/Advanced Shipper can be handled properly in 1.5.1.

All the best..

I've been snowed under releasing new versions of various modules.. 3.6.0 of URI Mapping has just been finished and will be released shortly.

Do you mind getting in contact with me privately via this address so I can send you some test code? Might make the process go a bit quicker!

All the best..

Just sent contact, thanks!

ceonSo Conor is your plan to re-write this goofy little mod??? Seems to be what is REALLY needed -- which is why ultimately the last client I had (who wanted an embedded blog) opted for paying for custom code versus messing around with WOZ at all. I'm happy with this code as it plays nice with EVERYTHING.. However, based on the Ceon URI mod, I have no doubt that you would turn out a module that is going to play nicely with other modules without requiring hacks..

So I would be more inclined to use a mod with your touch on it versus the current WOZ codebase.. (Sorry.. that's my HONEST opinion)

I dont want it on the main page. Could I use a page_2 or any other pages?

Hi guys,
In my case, i need the blog to be on the home page of my zen cart. how would i go about doing that ? because right now its only on happytravelvacations.com/index.php?main_page=wordpress

but i want it on
happytravelvacations.com/index.php?main_page=index

I've looked at the files, and was going to integrate all the files. but define page was conflicting with each other, because there is 2. :( and i dont understand how i can make this work.
Thanks a lot in advance!

misty:

Wordpress (where wordpress is installed in its own folder) on main page via admin/define main page is

$posts = get_posts('numberposts=1'); // change to whatever number of posts to show
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>

I found out how to make my posts show up on front page. :P
I shoulda read earlier posts first, thought no one figured it out but i was wrong. Thanks so much to Misty.

This and similar solutions have been posted a few time throughout this thread.. This is why I always read the full support thread.. I have usually found what I am looking for has already been posted..

Hello,

I have had a good search through this thread and can't find the answers I need so here goes -

I have WordPress 2.9.2 integrated with my Zen Cart 1.3.9c via Numinix's method here

The blog worked perfectly pre 'WordPress On ZenCart - Sideboxes Only Edition v1.0' install but ever since installing the addon & then activating the 'wp_sidebar.php' sidebox in Zen layout boxes controller I get the following message -

Not Found

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.

I have posted several times here and in the Numinix blog that the WordPress on Zen Cart Sideboxes Only edition WILL NOT work with the Numinix blog embedding solution.. From what I can tell the reason for this is that the WOZ codebase (on which the WOZ Sideboxes Only solution is based) uses the WordPress "The Loop" codex in an odd manner, and therefore will NOT work with the Numinix blog embedding solution. I don't have an exact fix for getting the WordPress on Zen Cart Sideboxes Only to work with the Numinix solution.. I personally had a friend help me develop properly coded sideboxes that work standalone as well as with the Numinix blog embedding solution..
