Hi,
Its very good tutorial!
Can you also explain how should be folder structure when you integrate ZEND+WORDPRESS, because zend project have his own structure.

I totally agree, building a shopping cart in Zend is not the best use of my time when it comes to monetary considerations.

Its just that I like to learn by doing. I will be following the book zend framework 1.8 by Pope.

Thanks for replying!!

I don’t see a reason why not. The main sticking points would be making sure the cookies are transferable and that the zend FrontController doesn’t intercept your calls to the blog. The former’s a configuration setting I somewhat cover in step two, while the latter’s a change in your .htaccess file or similar rewrite configuration.

Though, I might point out that the amount of time you’ll spend building a cart in Zend is probably worth more than buying and configuring a plugin.

Could you also do this if you kept the blog on the primary domain?
Instead of blog.fancybrandname.com, use http://www.fancybrandname.com/blog...

I would like to make a custom shopping cart in zend that has an integrated wordpress blog and I
am just trying to figure out the best way to do it.

Awesome tutorial, I was able to make it work in my application logic with the pseudo-code you provided. The hooks provided saved me a lot of time.

Steve,

I am looking for exactly the same. Maybe you can contact me on the CodeIgniter Forums? My user name there is “krif”.

Michael: Thanks for the tutorial!!

Not myself, no, but CI is actually a little more lightweight than Zend. Chances are you don’t have to jump through the hoops necessary to get all the pieces loaded.

Thanks for the tutorial! This is exactly the situation I’am in with a upcoming project. Unfortunately I’m going to be using CodeIgniter for my framework. Have you seen any tutorials out there with this sort of situation but using CI?

that’s why we are sending you more distractions…..
