i think i found out something which i had no clue in magento, setting the cookie path to / so that my blog within my magento site worked, after spending like 6 frustrating hours

hi, just to make it clear prior to visiting blog found at http://mysite/blog, i have already logged in at my site as a customer http://mysite. Sometimes the cookie with the path “/blog” doesn’t get created so I can see myself logged in, otherwise most of the time is not letting appear logged in

hi, thank you for this wonderful wp plugin, i am following along, but what i came up with were two cookies named “frontend”, one’s path is “/”, and the other one is “/blog”, if in my browser i removed the one whose path is “/blog”, i can see the user logged in, otherwise, it takes it as if i never logged in to the magento site.. has anyone faced this issue?

thanks.

Why are there so many getSingleton? I usually use it for core/session only.

Hey Together,

i’m trying to get this work. But i’m not getting the correct session. I have an Magento Shop with one Store, Website, View. I just want to view the cart-sidebar. My Code is:

require_once ( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].”/app/Mage.php” );
umask(0);
Mage::app(‘default’);

Mage::getSingleton(‘core/session’, array(‘name’=>’frontend’));

$cart = Mage::getSingleton(‘checkout/cart’)->getItemsCount();

$session = Mage::getSingleton(“customer/session”);

$block = Mage::getSingleton(‘core/layout’)
->createBlock(“checkout/cart_sidebar”, “own_sidebar”)
->setTemplate(“checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml”);
echo $block->toHtml();

The Cart shows up, but ist empty.

Would be fine if someone has a solution.

No, not with Mage Enabler. But WordPress itself has a way of extending its functions to external sites. Check on including wp-load.php in your store.

Hello, I am new to much of this. I am deciding between ahead works and WordPress integration to my Magento store. Is it possible to use your simplified process in a reverse fashion to bring word press into my store.

[...] to the Mage object which you can use to access Magento methods within WordPress and do stuff like single login, pull templates from Magento, display categories, products and checkout from your blog and many [...]

Hey there – I got everything working well with my site – the side cart was being updated perfcetly

Now all of a sudden the sessions have stopped working. I know that the link to mage.php is still there as pulling blocks out and displaying.

So my cart is no longer updating. I’ve cleared sessions, used a new browser and checked httpd error/access logs but nothing.

If anyone has any clues, they would be welcome.

Many thanks

Thanks Richard,

If the blog is in another domain on same server will that work, and if so what will the path look like from the blog domain. e.g. store.com and blog.com on same server, how do I reference mage.php so that the WP install can find it..?

thanks,

Iain

Mage Enabler can only work if the two is hosted on the same server.
