The fishpig extension has this feature built in now so you can get the wordpress blog listing or page as the magento homepage easily

What do I use in place of
‘place_some_free_random_resource_name_here’
on line 32?

My magento and wordpress are on the same server but different databases. Do I comment out line 14? Should I uncomment lines 22-32?

I have found that this implementation has one enormous problem. Auto generated content does not show header or footer. Hopefully this saves someone a lot of time.

Could someone possibly expand on:
1) How to add the entire pages content less header and footer rather than just pulling the posts
2) What I change within the file to have it pull a different wp page? I am not using it for the home page, but am for the about us, faqs, etc.

Sorry for the lack of knowledge. I actually got it to do exactly what it is designed to though.

Hi Branko

This is really cool Thanks so much for sharing.

I’ve got two questions if I may :

1) Do you know if the content that is pulled back is CACHED in any way?

2) I’m wanting to use this to pull back ANY page from WordPress – so pass in a parameter somehow (perhaps the page name or some such) – do you know if this would be easy to do?

Thanks in advance

Mark

Can something like this be used with Xsitepro? What would be required to get this integration. Creating a template in Xsitepro and overlaying Magneto??? Could this work?

busy with day job and paying Magento gigs so no documentation yet but see http://westgardiner.net
prototype pulls in wordpress content and it’s styled with Magento css.
all pages with the footer
“westgardiner.netContent is proudly powered by WordPress”
are wordpress posts. Just add Postie WordPress mod and you can email content directly to Magento.
of course it’s a work in progress…

fyi inchoo, activecodeline and snippi are the best for Magento info hands down…

I have had the same problem. I never thought of doing the home page this way. I have some other ideas, but they do require manual coding. Using wordpress would be perfect for that.

There was a wordpress integration module for magento, but its not working for me.

I have thought of reversing it and building a plugin to integrate Magento directly into WordPress.

@LekeFly, @Rosco

I am not sure what you mean by demo here? Not much you would see. Imagine a WordPress page with custom content. Now imagine you take that content (which is actually a HTML string) and output it inside the Magento block.

Its like imagining the content of these commecnt being pulled inside one of the Magento blocks.

I was merely trying to show a concept, a possible way of using things.

Yes i’d love to see a demo of this integration if anyone has one…?

Thanks
