Preview: Building a WordPress Embed Theme for ZenCart

This is a quick preview of my technique for building a ZenCart theme that integrates the WordPress core thereby allow you to use functions like get_header() and get_footer() in order to display your WordPress theme while on ZenCart pages.

UPDATE: Grab the code I refer to in this video here: http://michaelwender.com/2010/10/28/integrating-wordpress-and-zencart/

I've posted the code on my website. Unfortunately, I'm unable to add the URL to my comment here on YouTube. I keep getting "Error, try again".

@TheWebist I've added the link to the code in the video description above. Click the button to "expand all" the video caption to access the link.

This is great! I'm trying to do this for a client right now and I'll be using this method exactly. It would be really useful to have your wordpress shopping cart code because it seems like it might be tough to replicate. I hope you release the code!

Brilliant!! I have been googling all morning for just this integration. Unfortunately I don't know PHP well enough to start from scratch, but I was thinking along these lines, to have Zencart use the WP Header and footer. I've also wondered if I could stick ZenCart into an I frame on a wordpress page.

I hadn't got as far as thinking about the cart problems with all that!

I'd very much like to see your code - I'll send you a PM or whatever Youtube allows

Thanks for the vid
