Would like to integrate Cakephp project with Wordpress. Any ideas how to do it best?
It should be my created information system which several pages could be launched from the Wordpress website.
Would like to have everything under one domain - Wordpress website blog (for describing the system) and the system itself.
At the moment I have my information system and bought a Wordpress theme also. Need Wordpress functionality to enrich my current information system based on CakePHP.
The need is to use Wordpress as the login, description, documentation mechanism. That's why I'm not sure how to do it under one domain the best way. Just need consulatancy how to make these two systems with their own databases to work together withinn one domain name.
If more specific - one of the Wordpress page should be the login page of my information system which is handled by the CakePHP MVC. Is that possible?
Maybe it could be done similarly to this approach:

Or maybe here is almost what I need:

Any better ideas?

im stacked with the question. Example, i have wordpress site at domain name site.com. I wanna to new users, after registration users can create duplicate of main site with replace prebuilt variable. Duplicate version must have view like site.com/nickname-of-user.
Main question: how i can make this with easily way? Maybe exist a ready solution. Maybe most effective use another cms?
This is a lot of function, that should be in a site. Example, affilate program for users registration, paid access for this site, etc.
Which cms is better for this tasks? Thank you for ur answers
Users can create new sites using sub-directories using WordPress Multisite (https://wordpress.org/support/article/create-a-network/)
There is also a plugin called BlogTemplates (https://github.com/wpmudev/blogtemplates) that would allow your users to create a clone of a site upon sign up. It is not being maintained but it is still functional.
Disclaimer: I am below even a beginner level of coding/promgramming. I have created a wordpress website using the listingpro business directory THEME (includes a consumer login for customers). I also have a subdomain using the Dokan multivendor marketplace PLUGIN (includes a consumer login for customers).
Currently, my website visitors will create two separate logins by using my site: one for the main domain, the other for the subdomain.
I had to create it this way because I do not have the knowledge to create a combination directory and ecommerce marketplace, and could not find a pre-existing commercial option.
To make for a better user experience, I would like for my site users to be able to create one login that works for both domain and subdomain, linking them together somehow.
A truly beautiful possibility would be to completely merge the theme and the plugin functionalities, but even my beginner knowledge makes me think that is impossible or crazy expensive.
Is there any way to accomplish my desired task?
I want to build a web site in wordpress. A web version like mysite.com and a mobile version like m.mysite.com. I am thinking that will it do able in wordpress because wordpress save domain name in database.
mysite.com/m will be possible but the requirement is to go with m.mysite.com.
The approach in this helped me: http://www.phillipadsmith.com/2011/11/note-to-self-a-simple-way-to-accomplish-mobile-site-redirection-using-mod-rewrite.html
However, proper creation of templates and css will really make the need redundant.
We are planning to create an asp.net website (probably mvc), that needs a cms for news items.
Our content managers and others who require to publish news have asked if they can use wordpress for content management.
Our users have different roles, and news items should be visible to certain roles, or even specific users if possible.
The reason they want wordpress is the manager's user friendliness, so if some other alternative with the same kind of user experience would be ok.
Could anyone please point me in some direction?
NOTE: I'm still doing research at the moment, so I've got nothing holding me back at this point.
There is an API plugin that has been developed to spit out information in JSON, but I have not actually implemented a site with it:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/
Perhaps you could have the authors work on a wordpress install and create your app to draw content via that plugin?
I too was facing the same issue, little different. We want to have WP as CMS so that our site can take the benefit of SEO which is very easy with WP. SO we installed WP under a folder in the Main ASP.net based website. Initially there were issues, I was unable to run it. Finally managed to run it. Solution is posted here - http://www.wwwlabz.com/how-to-run-a-php-based-website-from-a-subfolder-in-asp-net-website. Hope it will help someone. Actual site where we implemented this is http://www.periproperties.com/content/.
Now I want to have specific section of WP to be accessible on my site. SO I am exploring different options and will post, if found something
Thanks.
DotNetNuke is the most popular ASP.NET based CMS (source). I am implementing my first project in it and so far I am very happy with it.
Note the free edition will not work for you since you need customizable security roles and free has a limited set of predetermined roles. You'll need the pro edition.
I don't know how similar it is to WordPress. Overall, WordPress is much more popular but of course there are platform issues with WordPress since it is Apache based and you want to create an ASP.NET website.
I have managed to setup a blog on localhost quickly using wordpress. But what is ivolved in setting up a commercial website that is not a blog?
Also, should learning to use wordpress be more diffcult than learning Asp.Net or php? I can use these languages to create a website more quickly than using wordpress it seems. I'm guessing it should be possible to create a basic php website and then somehow hook it up to the admin functionality of wordpress to publish content and update it?
Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
A few thoughts on this.
First, Wordpress is based on PHP. So if you know your way around in PHP you are able to change anything within wordpress, you can build customized plugins, templates, etc.
However, using Wordpress has nothing to do with the programming languages you know. The fact that you are struggling with it is probably more because you don't understand yet what the features of Wordpress are or what you can use them for.
You can easily use Wordpress to create a simple non-blog website by setting up pages instead of posts. So you would be using Wordpress not as a blog engine but more as what's usually called a content management system CMS (not that using it as a blog engine wouldn't make Wordpress a CMS, but I'm talking about the general usage of those wordings).
A simple Google search might help you find more information about how to accomplish it in your specific case.
Hope this helps!
You need experience with PHP, HTML and CSS to configure WordPress to run like a non-blog website. Is it easier? Maybe, you get what you want but you won't understand what is going on.
If you are creating a static web page, say like a company's web site with little to none dynamic content, use pages (not posts) and create a static front page.
If you wish to use WordPress like a generic CMS, you can either use the Pods plugin or the newly introduced custom post types and taxonomies (new in Wordpress 3.0). You still need knowledge of PHP/MySQL to configure the Wordpress Loop (which is used to display blog posts and other dynamic content) and Wordpress Theme tags (to display name of the current logged in user).
Some plugins help with customizing the site for a non-blog look. Theme My Login and Theme my Profile blends the log-in page and profile page with your theme. However, if you need to customize the appearance, or add new logic, you pretty much need programming.
In short, you would need knowledge of PHP and MySQL; CSS too, if possible. Get your hand dirty building some sites, then what Wordpress offer and does for you with its API will be more relevant.
