Word Press Plugins

Post by hubber »

Is it possible to use any of the WP plugins in Serendipity?

I have one that is required to be uploaded to the wp-admin/import folder

This plugin works from a csv file to list products on your blog pages

Thanks

Basically, no. The whole code would need adaption.

The WP and Serendipity plugin code is completely seperate; it's like you want to use MS Word to open a MP3 file.

In some cases, a plugin code can be nearly independent from Serendipity, and just use very few functionalities to make itself available. But even in that case you need PHP knowledge to adapt the plugin to make it work outside of WP.

No, those plugins are incompatible with s9y. The plugin would have to be ported to fit into Serendipity's event hook and automatic installation framework.

Unfortunately, I think most of the developers here are busy with other functionality and plugins, so it would be a while before we could port yours. We'd be happy to answer your questions as you port it yourself, or you might be able to hire somebody.

If you tell us a little more about the plugin's functionality, we might be able to point you to a similar one in our SPARTACUS repository. However, it sounds like it sounds like it turns your blog into a store; I don't think we have anything like that.

That's exactly what it does. Takes products from a csv file you have uploaded and creates store pages of them.

I would attempt to port it if I knew anything about php, but I don't.

It doesn't seem to be a very long script either. If anyone wants to take a look I can paste it here or send it to you.

Is there anyone here who would be interested in doing this for hire?
