Wordpress On ZC [Support Thread]

thanks for your replies, looks like a few hours wasted time to write off!!!! draw a line under it and start again!!

:D

DivaVocals:

I paid a friend to help me develop custom Wordpress sideboxes for Zen Cart developed which can be used with the Numinix solution or as standalone Wordpress sideboxes..

Yes, if you are looking for "out of the box" predictable functionality from this mod, such as one expects when using a Ceon mod, for example, you will probably not get it. Real world usage is going to require some code tweaking.

I'm looking for consistency -- something IMHO in which this mod has never really had a history of.. I've been through 1 major Zen Cart (and several minor) upgrades, and 3+ WordPress updates and the solutions I am using for blog embedding have required few to no updates to continue to work. The WordPress sideboxes required NO changes, and the only updates to the Numnix blog solution were changes to core Zen Cart files as a result of the Zen Cart changes..

THIS solution on the other hand?? Well when I initially started trying to use it stopped working when Wordpress went from 2.5 to 2.7.. Then it was fine (kinda) once kiddo posted her awesome fix, and I switched my client from SSU to Ceon URI.

Then the last update to WOZ seemed to cause issues for quite a few folks (I stopped testing at that point since I had a better blog embedding solution in place and didn't like or think the SSU and Ceon hacks were necessary or even GOOD changes to WOZ)

Then along comes several WordPress updates (including the awesome new WP v3.X) and the Zen Cart 1.3.9 updates, and BAM this mod is back where it was when I first stumbled into this support thread..

So it's not "out of the box predictable functionality" I'm after as much as it is just plain old consistency, and this I'm afraid is what has always been lacking in this mod.. (IMHO) I decided that if there was any code tweaking to be done, my time would be better spent tweaking a more solid solution to meet my needs versus trying to put lipstick on a pig..:laugh: Adding sideboxes to the Numnix solution gave me a solid, stable, flexible, and most importantly a consistent WORKING blog embedding solution..

IMHO, WOZ was not then and is not now a solid solution and it needs a SERIOUS re-write.

I am using this mod on two 'real-world' zen cart sites and it's working OK on them.

Both are Zen 1.3.8 and using older versions of WOZ and Wordpress and, I believe there are no conflicting add-on mods:

asialuna.com
bmaaudio.com

I think the asialuna site is using a custom tpl-wp-pages sidebox for the posts display.

I admit that I have no idea what might happen if I attempted to update the zen, wordpress and WOZ to current versions on them. :unsure:

I admit that I have no idea what might happen if I attempted to update the zen, wordpress and WOZ to current versions on them. :unsure:The ONLY sites I have running WOZ are running Zen 1.3.8a with the old version of WOZ (with Kiddos fix) or the WOZ Sideboxes Only mod.. If I upgrade any of these sites (WP and Zen), I will not bother with the latest version of WOZ, I will simply convert to the Numinix solution (with or without my custom sideboxes)

Current version of WOZ doesn't work with current versions of WP or Zen Cart. I just cleaned up a real world site for a client where neither he or I could get WOZ working with Zen Cart 1.3.9 and WordPress 3.0.x. (and I did not plan to waste a lot of time trying to "figure out" how to "make" it work) I scrubbed out all the WOZ files, installed the Numinix blog embedding solution, and BAM, it all worked out the box..

Is it still working? I saw the last update version is for v1.3.8. I don't know if it works on v1.3.9. Many people says it's out of work now.:no:

Hmmm.. see posts right above this one.. status on this mod hasn't changed since those posts were written..

I installed WOZ on the current version of ZenCart with Wordpress 2.9.2 last night and everything seems to work fine so far.

Well for those using SEO mods or running the latest version of WP (3.0.1) that is NOT the case..

It is after a long absence, everybody.
Work was busy and was not able to check it at all.

I installed WOZ v1.5 on ZenCart v1.3.9f with Wordpress v3.0.1 today and almost seems to work fine so far.
In addition, the SEO module is non-inspection.

Another question i noticed that on my homepage after iinstalled wordpress and woz i noticed i have black question marks in my text.

hira:

Please comment out the following.
wordpress-config.php file

$i = strlen(DIR_WS_CATALOG);
$req = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],$i,1);
if($req == '?'){
$_GET['main_page'] = FILENAME_WORDPRESS;
}

I installed woz manager and wordpress last night. It all works fine but when i have woz set to true in the configuration menu it breaks my shipping estimator. If i disable woz it works fine.

I also noticed that on your demo site the shipping estimator works fine when you are a visitor. Can you please assist me with what i need to do?

Thank you.
Please try the following.
(I added a red part)

includes\init_includes\init_woz.php

if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
die('Illegal Access');
}
if(
$_GET['main_page'] == 'popup_shipping_estimator'
){
// do nothing
}else
if (defined('WOZ_CONFIG_STATUS') && WOZ_CONFIG_STATUS == 'true') {

Thanks for the reply.

I added the red into my includes/init_includes/init_woz.php, Now it seems the shipping estimator doesnt load any more i just get a blank page. Any other suggestions?
