How can i integrate Wordpress in my Muse website?

[Motion_and_Design]

After trying different things, i still can't figure out how to integrate a Wordpress blog in my Muse website... I can't seem to find an easy way by iframing or by changing html codes...

On wordpress website they are saying it's possible by adding a php code into a current PHP page... but muse only does HTML . and just renaming the page in PHP doesn't work neither... Has anyone succeeded doing this?

Wordpress is used a lot, it should be one of the features of Muse..

Thanks Wussypants.... that was a really helpfull movie! Can't wait to see the next part.... PHP to Wordpress.

[Wussypants]

Alright there. So i've been rather busy lately. Both school and a part time job that requires the time of a full time job, can sometimes limit your time. Anyways. I hope to put the wordpress part up soon enough. Though i must say, if you've manually set up wordpress before, and have just a slight knowledge of coding, you should already now be able to take advantage of the wordpress database.

Is the second part coming soon? Thank you so much Wussypants... i hope you can explain the second part soon

Very interesting I'm excited to see the wordpress part.

Hi Jacob!

You know that Muse doesn´t accept php code!

How do you insert Wordpress php code into Muse (Muse is based on html)?

We are very interested to know how do you make this trick in practice (maybe a video tutorial)?

I point out that here is a question about blog from Wordpress into Muse, not opposite.

Best Regards

Did you even read his tutorial?

I am currently working on a solution for exactly this problem. I have a WAMP testing server, and I am using a skeletal WordPress theme (http://themble.com/bones/) as my "framework". I built the entire site using this flow: PhotoShop > Adobe Animate > Muse [this makes up the basic, functional HTML site] - I then created a new Dreamweaver site and assembled copies of all of my files there for work. Once I had the site functioning on my WAMP server, I pulled the Muse files apart using NotePad++ into Header/Page/Footer sections. Previously in Muse, I marked areas for these things using the "Insert HTML" function. I was able to easily assemble the HTML site pages in WordPress by using template pages. Here is an example of how I structured the pages:

HTML SITE:                                   WORDPRESS SITE:

index.html                   >>               [header-home.php] + [page-home.php] + [footer-home.php]

contact.html                >>               [header-contact.php] + [page-contact.php] + [footer-contact.php]

and so forth. It is a little extra work but once you learn to "tag" sections as you create in Muse and then reassemble in Dreamweaver and NotePad++ it works just fine. If you do it correctly, you get the full benefit of WordPress and all its functions but retain the exact look and feel of your site as you designed it. The site is currently on my testing server while I check stability and platforms, but once I have it working I will post a link for everyone to look at.

This looks promising... Will keep an eye out for further developments

Nice video tutorial would be beneficial

Thanks anyway for the post

Additional tip on this process - if you have headers and footers that are the same across multiple pages, you can create header-common.php and footer-common.php files which will speed up your work process in WordPress. Make sure you tag the "get_header( )" and "get_footer( )" function calls correctly for each page-[name].php, or WordPress will just call its fallback "header.php" or "footer.php". Be sure to check that all your scripts for any given page are in the correct places (which is why I like to create individual headers and footers).

Working on a vid tut.....

Thanks, J Yas

I look forward to a video tutorial..

thanks your work is precious.

[JakRazzi]

Could you go a little more in depth about this? I would absolutely love to see a video tutorial.

If you're too busy to make one, then you could explain the process more to me, and I'll make the tutorial for everyone else.

Thanks man. I'm really looking forward to getting this to work. This is the only place I've found where someone has said they made WordPress work with Muse.

Awaiting your reply :]

Sure. I am not able to pop a video tutorial right now but I can give you a brief explanation. First you have to have a good understanding of the WordPress framework and PHP, and you need to understand the files Muse produces as well. Are you good to this point?

[JakRazzi]

I have a basic understanding of html and PHP, but am new to Muse and WordPress. I'm currently learning the WordPress file structure. I will learn both of them, so feel free to explain like I already do. However, a bit more explanation in those areas would be nice.

Thanks again man!

Yep - using the blank page/include without link allows you to link a blog to a Muse site. If this is what you are looking to do it works great.

I'm using >> feed/,mikle.com << to pull in the Wordpress RSS feed and embedding the provided html. I'm using it as a widget on my home page for now but we might be able to integrate it in multiple ways on our sites. This works for me.

I got it to work using iFrame.

it is not finished but here is the test I did: news1

Just have to fix the wordpress blog now.

Here is the iframe code I used:

<iframe id="myIframe" src="http://peterhofstetter.com/fotoshooting-fotos/" height="2000" width="1500"<FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0" BORDER="0" NORESIZE scrolling="yes">

</iframe>

If you just want a blog, look this, www.nabble.com. Go to Start a Blog, look the Options > Embed Options (only available after the email confirmation).

Now, just copy and paste the embed code in your site on Muse, design mode.
