# WordPress and ZenCart

 * I’m working on a new website for my employer. We’re going to use WordPress to
   maintain the information side of the site, and we’ll be selling our products 
   via ZenCart.
 * I would like to pull items from ZenCart and insert them into certain parts of
   the WordPress site (featured items, special buys, etc).
 * What is the best way to approach this? Are there plugins that will call other
   scripts?
 * I know, ZenCart is sloppy, but unfortunately it’s the best thing I could find(
   for free).
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Keith

 * Bumping…
 * Zen Cart has built-in functions that will display the following: New Products,
   Products on Sale, Latest Product Reviews from Customers, Product Categories, 
   Featured Products, New Products, a Best Seller list and a Search function. I 
   would like to be able to insert these parts into the WordPress template. Essentially,
   we’d display these parts instead of some WordPress links: category, archives,
   search, etc.
 * I’m looking for any of the following:
 * 1) Tips… I’m not a PHP/MySQL guy, but I might be able to poke around if I’m told
   what to look for, or what to read up on.
 * 2) A current plugin that can do this, perhaps if tweaked a little bit.
 * 3) A Custom Plugin… I might be able to pay somebody for this plugin.
 * Thanks for reading…

 * I’ve written custom plugins that can do similar things for my CG-Amazon plugin.
   The new (unreleased) version allows a site to have a ‘/shop’ page that CG-Amazon
   manages via a custom page template. That’s the easiest way to do it within the
   WP framework.
 * In addition, you could easily add some of those features as link-lists in the
   sidebar that point to the right page and URL structure for a specific product.
 * I can envision something similar to my CG-Amazon system working for any of the
   cart systems, using a combination of a plugin and a custom page template to interface
   with the ‘shop’ where desired. And some custom plugin/helper code so that you
   could embed product links into blog posts (which CG-Amazon was built for originally…),
   or on the main blog sidebar.

 * Does [WordPress On ZenCart] know (I release it in my website)? [http://zencart-module.s-page.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5](http://zencart-module.s-page.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=5)
   (
   Because ZenCart is Maine, this thinks that I am different from hope.)
 * 1.
    install WP in a top directory. I install ZenCart in a subdirectory. 2. revise
   a template of ZenCart and hide a header, a footer. 3. stick link ahead of a ZenCart[
   buy now button] on WP. (When there is an option, it is difficult)
 * I think that a cart function of ZenCart can use WP by the above-mentioned method
   in Maine.

 * Hira, your plugin sounds great, but does really work without problems? I mean
   is it perfectly stable?
    Thanks
