Integrate PHPLD into Wordpress or vice versa

Can any tell me how to put/integrate phpld into wordpress blog ?
OR wordpress blog into phpld ( like aviva) ?

Any tutorial available ?
Does it require high PHP knowledge

PLEASE HELP

 

No tutorials just basic knowledge and the courage to experiment and play around with phpld.

I know Zero PHP, Zero C, C++ , Zero Software stuff.

But i love to learn stuff, i can code templates, create phpld sites from psd, install forums, mods , do my own little mod creation for phpld. etc etc. Its only your desire that helps, its taken me about more than 1 year of playing around with stuff...to get a point where i can code and convert almost any template to phpld, esyndicate etc. etc.

 

talk to DP user just-4-teens

he took the Singe template and converted it over to wordpress.

 

It seems you are too professional.
Can you teach me a little bit of it ?

 

yup anon is professional.

 

What you want, blend a phpLD template into wordpress right ? any coder who does both phpLD and wordpress coding can do that easily. The other thing may be to display recent blog posts on directory sidebar as i did on http://www.web1directory.com. If you are curious about that then PM me i will help u out

 

I was talking about you - I want you to help because of your great knowledge.
DP is to share knowledge.

Aditya - i want something like this http://www.web1directory.com/blog/

 

I will try it with my blog than only can say something about integration, but shouldn't be that hard.

LOL me professional.

 

Don't think of me as a professional.

Please think of me as your peer. Another guy just like you
While I do offer services and exceptional support for them, I would just rather be able to mix and mingle amongst my peers and fellow webmaster/directory owners as just 'one of the guys'

Somethings like that can be shared but is too long to explain. Well you dont need to know phpLD coding to do that but u need to know about wordpress theme variables and no one will explain it. Better read the tutorial at codex.wordpress.org and experiment with some themes, u will be easy with it quickly.

The phpLD coder, slices the PSD and converts it to HTML then converts the HTML into the phpLD theme. What you have to do is to get the HTML from the coder or the other thing can be to convert the phpLD back to HTML which is easy.
Now the question is how to convert a phpLD theme into wordpress. I will brief you a easy method.

1. Copy the themes images and stylesheet into a separate empty folder.
2. Install the theme on a directory and open any link detail page or any page with less content.
3. View source of the page and copy and paste in notepad the whole source code and edit it to remove the directory page content. Then make some space for wordpress categories, archives blog roll etc. and save the HTML page in the same folder where you saved images and stylesheet with the name index.html then make sure that image and stylesheet path is matching.

4. Well in the above 3 steps, you have just converted the phpLD template back to the HTML.

5. Now edit the index.html and make it as you want, spaces for post categories etc..

6. Substitute the wordpress theme variables in the right places and split the file into header.php, index.php, sidebar.php and footer.php. You will also need to make search.php, archive.php , single.php and page.php , and comments.php.

This was just a briefing about how to do it. You will need to practice more and more to perfect it. You will make tons of mistake first time

Best of Luck

 

Thanks aditya,
I am ready to play with phpld/wordpress codes.

 

what you do is you setup your directory, lets say in the root folder, and your blog in blog folder, or the other way around with your directory in directory folder. Whats so hard about that? Or I am not understanding you right, please explain.

 

Haa did you look at the link meethere posted? I doubt that works with your solution at hand.

 

He is asking how to make the blog and directory look alike. Or in other words, simple words "How to port a phpLD theme into wordpress"

 

Ya thats right, i want to make a directory blog But i dont know ABC of it

 

I have used just-4-teens services and they are simply great. He managed to convert my directories template into a wordpress theme overnight! Really fast and quality service.

if you need phpld templates converted to wordpress then just-4-teens is your man. IMHO he is the best

Cheers ....

Well though the initial poster of this thread didnt have this as the requirement.
However if anyone wants to know of how to display their blog posts on phpld directory page itself... then there is a simple trick to it...
Just use the latest news mod and in that put in the url to the feeds of ur blog ...
and ur phpld will display the posts on ur blog with whatever formatting you want.

Just my 2 cents ...

 

Hmm...are you talking about something like this and this together?

 

Can't you just edit the footer, header and sidebar templates and use the Wordpress or phpLD theme, should do the trick. I did integration with my blog as well, didn't require much modification.
