ma2tt Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm sure this will have been asked already but a search of the forum hasn't returned anything. I'm working on a site for a professional photographer which will have a number of different portfolio sections to showcase her different sorts of photography, secure galleries for clients to view and purchase their images and a photo blog. I'm planning to use Codeigniter to build the site and the client would, if possible, like to include Wordpress' functionality to power the blog. I'm comfortable with the basics of both Codeigniter and Wordpress but can't get my head around how the two could be integrated. I realise I could simply build a blogging platform using Codeigniter (ala tutorial video) but why go to the trouble if Wordpress can be used? Also, Wordpress links in quite easily with Facebook; a feature my photographer client is keen to exploit! Many thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shlumph Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would put the WordPress blog on a sub domain, and then if it's necessary - make some models to pull the latest posts/categories onto the CodeIgniter part of the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma2tt Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hey shlumph, thanks for your suggestion and apologies for the delay in offering my thanks. In the end I decided that Wordpress and Codeigniter wouldn't play nicely together without a lot of messing with configuration/hacking. I built my own blog engine for this particular site, something which Codeigniter make comparatively straightforward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
