Integrate with Wordpress

There are only a limited number of options available to integrate PhpGedView with Wordpress.

Options

Wp-tree

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 KB Advanced RSS Widget, Wordpress can be configured to display information in the Sidebar.
