Integrate with Wordpress

There are only a limited number of options available to integrate PhpGedView with [http://www.wordpress.org Wordpress].

==Options==

=== Wp-tree ===
[http://www.termitenshort.com/?p=98 Wp-tree] is a Wordpress plugin which allowed for basic integration. Once it is installed, users navigate to a specific URL which displays PhpGedView within an iFrame. The major plus of this plugin is that it includes a User Management feature to allow the PhpGedView access, edit and admin rights to be granted / removed from within Wordpress. Once the user logs into Wordpress, single-sign allows them to access PhpGedView (assuming the appropriate rights have been granted).

Unfortunately, it was last updated in October 2006. Since then, there appears to be no further development of the plugin. During this period both Wordpress and PhpGedView have continued to develop which prevent the plugin from working with the latest versions. Certainly PGV 4.1.4 introduced new User Management functions which conflict with Wordpress function names.

=== RSS Feeds ===
The genealogy information stored and managed inside PhpGedView can be accessed via an RSS news feed. Using either the default RSS widget, or a custom plugin such as [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kb-advanced-rss-widget/ KB Advanced RSS Widget], Wordpress can be configured to display information in the Sidebar.

Ip: /* WPPGV */ Added reference to issue log and project status update.

There are only a limited number of options available to integrate PhpGedView with [http://www.wordpress.org Wordpress]. This page identifies these methods and the features they offer whilst documenting the creation of a new Wordpress plugin which hopes to bring all these features together under one roof.

=== WPPGV ===
[http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wppgv/ WPPGV] is the working title for a new Wordpress plugin which hopes to merge the features of the existing integrations options together under one roof.


[[fr: Intégrer PhpGedView avec Wordpress]]
====Planned Features====
Here is a list of features that have been identified for inclusion in the new plugin. The list is work in progress, so feel free to add to it...
*Embed PhpGedView within a Wordpress blog. The blog administrator should be able to configure/contol the integration as much as possible.
*Allow for single sign on between the two applications
*Allow blog administrators to manage PGV user profiles
*Work with the latest version of PGV and WP

====Known Issues====
A log of known issues is currently being maintain on the [[Talk:Integrate_with_Wordpress|discussion area]] of this wiki page.

Further development is currently limited by the inability to include PGV's config.php file due to the nested reference to the create_user method, a name which is duplicated in both application frameworks. Any help on resolving this issue would be greatly appreaciated.

====Changelog====
Version 0.2.1 (2008-09-11)
- Fixed : Only content from the WPPGV page is removed by the "the_content" filter

Version 0.2 (2008-09-10)
- Initial version released on the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wppgv/ WordPress Plugin Directory]

Version 0.1
- Unpublished version

===WPPGV Notes & Discussion===

====Reported Issues====

<S>'''Bug'''

The "the_content" filter which injects the iFrame into the page, removes all post/page content.

--[[User:ip|ip]] 12:34, 08 September 2008 (GMT)</S>

'''Bug'''

Version 0.2.1 and below do not "automatically upgrade" correctly from the Plugins page. If you attempt to do so, duplicate WPPGV pages will be created.

--[[User:ip|ip]] 16:43, 08 September 2008 (GMT)

'''Bug'''

Including the config.php file from phpgedview causes a fatal error because WordPress and PhpGedView use the same method name, create_user().

--[[User:kidddw|kidddw]] 12:20, 09 September 2008 (GMT)

:It would appear PhpGedView introduced the create_user in the functions_db file in Version 4.1.4 (revision 2544) in April 2008

::Is it possible to use the PGV's web services? For more information see [[GEDCOM_REST_Web_Service_API]] or ::[[GEDCOM_SOAP_Web_Service_API]]. The current document includes authentication methods but not user management methods...

'''Bug'''

Running Wordpress 2.6.2, phpGedView 4.1.5 and WPPGV 0.2.1

The phpGedView pane in the Wordpress User Tab is blank and there is no obvious way to add users to it

--[[User:B.rich|B.rich]] 08:47, 23 October 2008 (GMT)

:The previous two "bugs" are currently preventing progress on the user integration section. Once this is overcome, User management features will come online. Sorry fr the confusion...
