Serendipity integration into WDE
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2006 9:28 pm
Hi,
I've been posting several questions on Serendipity integration in the past week, and thanks to the excellent support of Garvin, I managed to get a smooth integration of Serendipity into our WDE web development environment (at http://www.achievo.org/wiki/WDE).
The result can be seen on our new website: http://www.ibuildings.nl
The frontpage displays a small selection of blog items (a piece of custom code), and the source for the blog entries is http://www.ibuildings.nl/blog which is serendipity based, using the 'indexFile' option from the embedding docs (http://www.s9y.org/55.html).
I will try to get some documentation on our wiki about my integration experience, i.e. the difficulties I encountered. These were mostly related to the CMS and S9Y both using Smarty, some Serendipity settings I had to tweak and a problem with request variables with conflicting names (both s9y and wde use 'url' as a variable which caused some trouble).
But all in all, I was amazed with how easy it was to embed serendipity. Most php apps don't even allow embedding, and Serendipity has even got multiple ways.
So thanks again for the support!
