Serendipity Forums

hello together!

i haven't tried serendipity yet and before i start i would like to know if it's possible to integrate just parts of serendipity into an existing webpage, like.... (rough example)

<?php include 'blogentries.php'; ?>
<?php include 'categories.php'; ?>
<?php include 'archive.php'; ?>

...and so on. i hope my question was clear enough

thanks for your help!

kind regards from vienna,
slim

Hi!

Yes, actually you can do that. Serendipity is built like a framework, with it's central API parts. You can rip those out and put them into a foreign page, call plugin outputs, blog entries, header data etc. Most is done through teh PHP functions "serendipity_fetchEntries", "serendipity_printEntries" and serendipity_plugin_api::hook_event('...'). Much of this is also explained in the s9y wiki inside the technical documentation.

HTH,

hey garvin,

thank you very much... i have to admit your explaination was already a little bit to technical for my state of knowledge but i'll try to find out how it's working!

as i understood it's not as easy as "include" but somehow possible, right?

thanks again, slim

Hi!

That's right, it's not as easy as using include. Some general PHP knowledge is required, but this is as easy as it gets -- other blog engines require you to know much, much more.

Check out http://www.s9y.org/206.html and http://www.s9y.org/78.html for bloody details

Best regards,
Garvin
