Adding a Blog
Permalink
Hi I'm aware this is not a blog cms as such, however could someone recommend the best solution to somehow intergrate into a current c5 site or point me in the right direction
Cheers!

and add external link to your sitemap in c5
I'm sure people have done this before. Integrate wordpress as a subdomain? I'd like to hear what works and what doesn't.
I'm usually fine with a simple RSS integration.
As far as I know no one ever did more than RSS so far. Integrating web application is always a bit tricky since the host and the guest application are sharing the same way of communication (GET, POST)...
Unless you want to use an ugly iframe or a simple rss integration you would need quite a lot of time to integrate it really nicely..

If you are lucky or choose accurately your template. Here is the Gimp Italian site, which I administrate.http://gimpitalia.it/
As you can see both concrete5 and Wordpress share the same template, and with some css tweaks (and also a hacked navbar for wordpress) it's pretty the same thing.
Of course it's not the best thing to use two different cms because you have a lot of separated stuff, but it's ok.
Not to mention that there are a lot more addons available with one click in wordpress, and they are all free as in beer and FOSS.

Mmm... I think I don't have the technical knowledge for helping you about this.

Hi I was planning on going the same route for WordPress and Concrete.
Did you add a "single page" in concrete to embed Wordpress? I have tried this and can't seem to get the wordpress to display anything (or rather the single page that is supposed to be Wordpress to display anything)
What did you do in Concrete to make Wordpress part of the structure?

It's just an external link. Wordpress template is hacked (I mean, a hard-coded cut'n'paste) to have the same menu items. If I change the page structure in concrete5 I have to manually retouch it in Wordpress.
I was hoping it was a tad more elegant, but that will work!

I have a nice news for you. I managed to hack it a bit more to actually auto-update itself for the menu. BUT it's not so nice. I don't query the database because I find it a lot complex using Concrete5 behaviour, so I actually just grab the homepage source code and then parse it a bit. This code is inside my WP theme instead of the proper Wordpress menubar generator:
<?php $navurl = htmlentities(file_get_contents("YOURURLHERE")); preg_match('/<ul class="nav-header">(.*?)<\/ul>/',$navurl,$navarray); $purified = preg_replace('/class="nav-selected first"/','',$navarray[0]); $purified = preg_replace('/class="nav-selected" /','',$purified); $purified = preg_replace('/li class=" "><a href="\/blog\/"/','li class="current_page_item"><a href="/blog/"',$purified); echo html_entity_decode($purified)."</ul>"; ?>
i might work on a hacky bridge between WP and C5 no ETA on it tho
