(Using Zen Cart 1.3.8a)
1. jQuery source:
http://net.tutsplus.com/javascript-ajax/create-a-tabbed-interface-using-jquery/
2. Zen Cart integration:
- CSS: Delete “*” and “body” classes from file. Put in template’s css folder (root/includes/templates/CUSTOM TEMPLATE/css). I changed file name from “style.css” to “style_tabbed_content.css”.
- Javascripts: Put all 3 javascript files in jscript folder (root/includes/templates/CUSTOM TEMPLATE/jscript). Must also add jscript_ text to the beginning of each file name (ie: change “jquery-1.2.6.min.js” to “jscript_jquery-1.2.6.min.js”) – this allows Zen Cart to link to your custom javascript via the custom template system.
- HTML: Open original index.html file, copy everything between body tags and paste into an EZ Pages page. HTMLarea must be ON in EZ Pages setup.
WordPress 2.8.6 Security Release, announced November 12, 2009:
2.8.6 fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges. If you have untrusted authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.
The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch. The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations. Thanks to Benjamin and Dawid for finding and reporting these.

Some hosting providers do not yet provide PHP5 on their servers, opting instead to stay with PHP4 for the time being. As Magento is a PHP5-only application, this can be a barrier for some users. This document outlines a possible workaround for such a scenario. The goal is to install PHP5 as a CGI binary and configure the web server (Apache) to use it instead of the default PHP4.
