Wordpress as blog?

[Gregor]

I read a lot about installing a blog and I even read a lot of problems getting it going. I'd like to use a blog for my sailing adventures (...) I was wondering, is it possible to use Wordpress as blog inside cmsms? If so, would zomeone please tell me how

Thanks and keep up the good work!

I use WordPress for my blog (FANtastic app).  I am going to upgrade my personal website to CMS Made Simple when I get the opportunity.  I will have links to both my blog and my Gallery 1.x installation.  I may upgrade to G2, but would rather not.  I can live without the integration, but it would be nice!

I know I can already use the pirss plugin to put recent posts on my cmsms front page (played with it locally) and that works a treat!

A module for Including wordpress is not available.

But you can create a blog with CMSms modules / tags (News, Comments, RateThis, SocialBookmarks).

There's a blog module too but I've heard about problems to run it.

Thanks!

I tried to use the combination (http://www.uisge-beatha.eu/index.php?page=test) and as soon as I enter 'Toevoegen', in FF it opens "Open Index.php with" (Translated from Dutch). SO it tries to open an external programm instead of adding the comment. The installation is based on 1.0.5 and the tag inside the page is

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='Comments' modulename='News' spamprotect=1 pageid=$entry->id}

No further chages are made.

I tried the blog module, and you are right, I also ran into problems.

and the tag inside the page is

That's IMHO wrong - please look at help file

Examples
Example of using with News module
Put this in your News "Detail Template":

{cms_module module='comments' modulename='News' pageid=$entry->id}

Thanks Cyberman, I gave that a try in the first round, however it tried to open index.php, so in the second round I placed the tag at the bottom of the template. No luck. In the third round I placed the tag above the last {if $return...} this seems to work in IE. Will try FF later.

Still remains one question, now I enter "blog-items" at a news item. Is there a way to only enter blog-item without first creating a news item? I might overlook something, but I cannot figger out what that might be.

Thanks so far!

Seems to be the right place  .

Sorry, don't understand this question. The first blog item is a news item ...

I'd like the news-items displayed as they are now (see home page). If I'm going to use news as a blog, is there a way to forcome that I see all other news items as wel. One way I can think of, is to create a Category, f.i. Blog, and only show this specific category.

You are on the right way - you can define categories (and sub cutegories) for that .

I'll go and give it a try. Thanks for your help and time!

Wouldn't it be possible to use the Embed-tag?

Enable inclusion (embeding) of any other application into the CMS. The most usual use could be a forum.

But maybe it could be used for a blog, too?
