CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,
I am using cmsms 1.11.11 for my main site using nice clean blue template. I want to create a blog site in a sub domain using WordPress as I can't get on with the cmsms blog modules.
Can I import/create the same template in WordPress so I can keep the same look across both sites?
If so what's the best way of going about it?
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

The best way to go about it is to go to the Wordpress forums and ask this question there.

Thanks compufairy. Will do, just thought I'd ask on both as I'm staying from a cmsms base.

Despite my loyalty to CMSMS, sometimes due to customer requests, what you've asked is a necessary evil. See http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... ce#p300043 for how I do it.

Brilliant, thanks psy

Haven't tried it but you could try doing the reverse, ie importing a WP page into cmsms. Create a blank template in WP to show the posts, etc then use the smarty {file_get_contents('http://www.google.com/')} tag to display it in your CMSMS page.

I believe there is a WP plugin that allows you to display only the page content, not the full template.

Something to think about.

Good luck.

Interesting. Thanks again psy, I'll explore both.

Something to keep in mind.... whichever app, CMSMS or WP, a page redirect, eg from summary to detail can cause issues.

My solution is to ensure that on the 'other' site, all links are driven by javascript to hide/show the detail. That eliminates any redirects and keeps the users on the one page.

It's a bit of a brain twister but definitely do-able.
