Serendipity Forums

Perhaps I am over ambitious, however, is it plausible to have a Gallery application, based on another design, perhaps using XML templates, to be incorporated into the Serendipity installation?

This would be useful, if all it requires is configuring some setup files within Serendipity to see the external application. Then the application can handle the content and pass it to Serendipity when requested.

Hi!

Serendipity is pretty fit at embeding foreign content. The most easy way is to use the "Wrap URL" plugin which simply embeds content using an iframe.

Another way would be to create a serendipity plugin, based on the wrapURL plugin which simply includes a PHP script instead of emitting an HTML iframe. Pretty easy.

The last way of course is to use existing plugins that show the "Gallery" or "coppermine" gallery inside serendipity.

Best regards,
