Hi

is this Magento/Wordpress integration dead?

Hi Richard,

I’m trying to use your plugin, but I’m having trouble. My setup is WP v3.5.1 w/the Genesis Framework and a Child Theme. My child theme does NOT have an index.php and Genesis’s index.php reads “WARNING: This file is part of the core Genesis framework. DO NOT edit this file under any circumstances. Please do all modifications in the form of a child theme.”

Where should I insert

if(class_exists('Mage')){
 	Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend'));
 }

????

Thanks! -Pablo

I am loading the Magento shopping cart in wordpress with the Mage Enabler plugin, but unfortunately I can’t get the catalog pricerules to work with the shopping cart.
When I add a product on which discount is applied through a price rule, the original price is used in the cart, after I add the product to this cart.
The catalog pricerule is working of course because I can see the right price in the product detail page.

I am using this code:
—–
$layout = Mage::getSingleton(‘core/layout’);
$cart = $layout->createBlock(‘Checkout/Cart’);
$cart->setTemplate(‘checkout/cart.phtml’);
$cart_content = $cart->toHTML();
echo $cart_content;
—–

Is there something else I need to do to get the catalog price rules to work in the shoppingcart and checkout, with the Mage Enabler plugin?

Thanks in advance.

Aloha Richard and friends!

I initially ran into issues while updating Products and Attribute Sets within Magento 1.5.1.0 and 1.6.0.0. When saving products, I’d receive “Decoding failed: Syntax error.” When saving attribute sets, I’d get “An error occurred while saving the attribute set.”

I traced it back to a JSON decoding issue within app/code/core/Mage/Core/Helper/Data.php

Meanwhile, it seemed as though the POST data looked totally cool.

I beat myself up for a long while debugging themes, modules, database & server configs before realizing that it may be WordPress to blame and that WP functions need not be available within Magento admin.

My solution: I modified Magento’s index.php to conditionally load WordPress:

if ( strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'index.php/admin') === FALSE )
{
    @ini_set('session.auto_start','0');
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
    require_once('/path/to/wp-load.php');
}

You’ll want to modify the ‘index.php/admin’ portion to match a slice of your Magento Admin URL.

I hope this is useful.

Richard – Perhaps this might deserve a spot in your Install instructions?

Aloha!
John

Do WordPress and Magento have to use the same database?

I have mage-enabler successfully installed. I add an item to my shopping cart on the Magento site.

When I run this code in WordPress

$cart = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount();
                            echo "<pre>";
                            print_r($cart);
                            echo "<pre>";

It returns 0

Did not see anything in any of the instructions saying it has to use the same database but I am wondering if this is the reason.

Hi Richard,

I was wondering if you knew anything about the checkout/cart variables. I can login, and add items to the cart, and see that they’re there. However, when I logout, the items are still in the cart. Do you know if Magento does something extra during the logout process that is not covered by Mage::getSingleton(“customer/session”)->logout(); ? Or do I need to load specific sessions into the customer/session variable to restore/unload the cart? Thanks for any help. I know this is probably beyond the mage enabler plugin, but it’s the last piece I’d like to plug in to my site.

Thanks,
Chris

I have site like wodpresscms.com (that have subdomain1.wordpresscms.com, subdomain2.wordrpesscms.com – Yes, I use multisite feature) then i have plan to use magento at shop.wordpresscms.com. Mage-enabler plugin can help me for single sign on?

Thanks

Hi Richard,

I’ve installed the plugin, and the directory structure and such looks good. I’ve added the code to say, “Welcome, Guest”, to my index.php page, and that works. However, I cannot get the Mage class to show up for subsequent pages. For instance, when I tried the changes in wp-login.php, it complains that Mage class cannot be found. Printing out all of the classes shows that indeed, it is not there. Any ideas why this might be happening? I turned on E_ALL error reporting for wp-login.php, but it’s not reporting anything.

Thanks,
Chris using version 3.0.4

Hey, I’m trying to get mage-enabler to share topLinks with my wp cms. Im getting some session data showing up no problems, but the cart items data and login/out link data (isLoggedIn) are not coming through.

Here’s my code:

`
<?php
//called at the top of header.php before any output
Mage::getSingleton(‘core/session’, array(‘name’ => ‘frontend’));
$session = Mage::getSingleton(“customer/session”);
$magento_block = Mage::getSingleton(‘core/layout’);
?>
`

<?php magelinks($session,$magento_block); ?>

`
<?php
function magelinks($session,$magento_block){

if(class_exists(‘Mage’)){

# Initiate Blocks
$linksBlock = $magento_block->createBlock(“page/template_links”);

$checkoutLinksBlock = $magento_block->createBlock(“checkout/links”);
$checkoutLinksBlock->setParentBlock($linksBlock);

# Add Links
$linksBlock->addLink($linksBlock->__(‘My Account’), ‘store/customer/account’, $linksBlock->__(‘My Account’), true, array(), 10, ‘class=”first”‘);
$checkoutLinksBlock->addCartLink();
$checkoutLinksBlock->addCheckoutLink();

if ($session->isLoggedIn()) {
$linksBlock->addLink($linksBlock->__(‘Log Out’), ‘store/customer/account/logout’, $linksBlock->__(‘Log Out’), true, array(), 100, ‘class=”last”‘);
} else {
$linksBlock->addLink($linksBlock->__(‘Log In’), ‘store/customer/account/login’, $linksBlock->__(‘Log In’), true, array(), 100, ‘class=”last”‘);
}

echo $magento_message.”.$linksBlock->renderView().”;
}
}?>
`

I can’t get the Mage.php address to accept in the settings/mage enabler page in wp-admin. I have added the app/code/local/Mage/Core/functions.php file and changed the translate block.

My wp install is on the same server as my magento installation, and I have modified the open_basedir restrictions to that the magento installation is accessable: I am trying to use /var/www/vhosts/secure.dialoguebooks.org/httpdocs/app/Mage.php but keep getting an ‘Invalid URL’ message.

My wp installation is at /var/www/vhosts/dialoguebooks.org/subdomains/dev/httpdocs/

I’ve just installed default versions of WordPress 3.0.1 and Magento 1.4.1.1 locally using MAMP. Both are fully functional.

WP is in the root – localhost.localdomain/wordpress/
Magento is in a subdirectory – localhost.localdomain/wordpress/magento/

I followed the instructions – https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/mage-enabler/installation/.

On step 4, I can see the Mage Enabler admin page tab after the plugin is activated, but the page itself is empty.

Has anyone else experienced this?

How would you instantiate the mage newsletter signup in wordpress with this plugin?

Thanks in advance.

Are there any running versions of this plug-in currently working?

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/mage-enabler/

I’ve got a totally clean install of wordpress and magento running and am trying to set the plugin up. I’m getting invalid url no matter what url i put in, i’ve tried

https://mydomain.com/public_html/app/Mage.php
/public_html/app/Mage.php
/app/Mage.php

I get Invalid URL message when putting these in. I know this is the location of the file as i’m looking at here on my server settings.

Do I have to change the .htaccess file in the app folder? Are there any settings I should change somewhere else?

Does the plugin enables new wordpress user (Subscriber) to also be register as a new magento user (Customer)?
