phpDivinglog Wordpress Integration
phpDivinglog Wordpress Integration
Me again...
In a fit of eagerness I decided to restructure my webspace and start using wordpress rather than blogger.
I have moved my divelog to the directory http://www.stodge.org.uk/divelog and assume the webroot in the config file should now be 'www.stodge.org.uk' with the abs_url_path set to '/divelog'. However when I upload this and go to page 'www.stodge.org.uk/divelog' then all of the data is a mess. Also, the links to other functions are shown at the root directory instead of inside the sub-directory '/divelog'. I have tried multiple iterations of webroot and abs_url_path with no luck.
The weird thing is that the original sub domain 'www.diving.stodge.org.uk' which is now pointing at '/divleog' actually works but I cannot understand why!
Do i need to refresh the initial config file or run some kind of setup to refresh these directory locations? Am I missing something fundamental?
Sorry that I keep bothering you
Thanks

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Ok now your path is changed:
Something like this
If you are integrating with wordpress you should set
You can make it look like the example of my homepage http://rob.lensen.nu/divelog
You should have a good look at header.php
change the first path
Next the html thing:
This all comes from my template which I use for wordpress. Have a look in the file page.php (most of the times) and copy the top part
Something like this
Code: Select all
$_config['web_root'] = 'http://rob.lensen.nu/divelog';
$_config['abs_url_path'] = '/divelog';
Code: Select all
$_config['embed_mode'] = true;
You should have a good look at header.php
Code: Select all
require_once('/usr/local/www/rob.lensen.nu/www/wp-blog-header.php');
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration-functions.php');
Next the html thing:
Code: Select all
<body>
<div id="rap"> <!--div rap starts-->
<div id="masthead"> <!--div masthead starts-->
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div class="slogan"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
</div> <!--div masthead ends-->
<div id="hmenu"> <!--div hmenu starts-->
<div id="hnav"> <!--div hnav starts-->
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/horizontal.php'); ?>
</div> <!--div hnav ends-->
</div> <!--div hmenu ends-->
<div id="main"> <!--div main starts-->
<div id="content"> <!--div content starts-->
<div class="post">

Wow, that is awesome. I'll have a play with the code and will let you know if I struggle.
Thanks again

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Okay, I'm struggling a little with the final stage of integrating this to wordpress. I now have the divelog working when I correct the URLs and put '$_config['embed_mode'] = false;'
However, once I change this to 'true' to embed it I then get stuck. I'm not sure which portion of the HTML block that you included should be put into page.php of my template files and where abouts within this file it should be inserted.
Any more clues?
am I supposed to change the line <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/horizontal.php'); ?> to match my template?
I get the following errors on the page in wordpress
Warning: main(/homepages/23/d168663142/htdocs/wp-content/themes/arjuna-x/horizontal.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/23/d168663142/htdocs/wp-content/themes/arjuna-x/page.php on line 13

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
I really can't seem to get this to work. If I put the code shown above in the page.php of my template then it complains that /horizontal.php doesn't exist. If I then remove the reference to this then nothing happens and I can't see how this would then point to the dive log.Inferno wrote: If you are integrating with wordpress you should set

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Send the contents of your wordpress dir and a mysql dump and I will have a look. If you don't understand php then there is no way at the moment to embed phpDivinglog in Wordpress. Since it will need some coding in your wordpress theme.ianr wrote:

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Ok some more details on the embeding:
First create a wordpress Page called diving or any other name but make sure that the page slug is set to "divelog" if your phpdivinglog is located in www.test.com/divelog so the phpdivinglog should be on the same level as your wordpress install.
This is a listing for my test wordpress at http://rob.lensen.nu/testwordpress
You see divelog is in the root of my wordpress install!!
Next in wordpress set the permalinks to: Custom Structure: /%postname%/ so basiclly what we do is we let wordpress think there is a page a www.test.com/divelog but in fact we display our phpdivinglog.
For your theme I changed header.php to:
and footer.php to
Changed my config.inc.php to this:
Result see this:

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Okay, I've tried this and get the following error:
I am assuming that I change the line in header.php
to
to show the location of header.php in my directory structure (it's at the root).
It feels so close to working having seen your sample site but it remains out of my grasp.
Currently my structure is similar to yours with wp-blog-header.php at the root directory of the site I have setup. I don't think i need the usr/local/stodge.org.uk do I?
I have the divelog at the same level as the wordpress install the same as you.
I'm pretty sure I am just pointing the wp-blog-header.php call at the wrong place but I have no idea where to point it other than the root.

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Just one thing:
Your dir is like this:
So your include path would be:

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Hang in there Ianr, you will get it soon! Glad to see someone else that gets a bit crazy whenever it does not work right!
I used a simple old-fashioned technique to get my dive log to show up in the web page the way I wanted it to show up. I cheated and used frames. I know that it is not the same as using full php code, but it gets my goal accomplished. I know frames are outdated, but I just don't get megatons of traffic to my site.

I can't wait to see what you create once you get it fixed!

There's no sidebar but to be honest I'm not that worried about that. It would be nice if it was centred in the page instead, but again, small details.
The only issue I have spotted is that when I follow links within the table the page header changes to 'page not found'. This also appears to happen in your dive log and the test site you set up. Any ideas?
Now to try and get the widget working on other pages in the sidebar. Any idea what to put in the link box when activating the widget?
Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
The sidebar I disabled see your footer.php
The two slashes mean that this is just a comment. If you remove them the sidebar will be on the page. I removed it, since your template sidebar is to wide!
The page not found is also on my own page. I do not bother about this....maybe I will look into this. You can fix this by setting query string to true in config.inc.php
For the widget you should enter:
http://www.stodge.org.uk/divelog/divesummary.php
Code: Select all
<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>
The page not found is also on my own page. I do not bother about this....maybe I will look into this. You can fix this by setting query string to true in config.inc.php

*/
$_config['query_string'] = true;

Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Thanks for that. I can can adjust the width of my sidebar in the template but it's not that much of an issue really.
I tried to set 'query_string' to true but it had little effect. Again, I'm not that fussed with that.
I'm busy playing with the widget and trying to sort out the CSS. I have no idea what I'm doing really but am trying to track where it gets info from and am changing things to gauge the impact. I can always disable it if I decide I'm not happy with the results.
Any pointers would be appreciated though

Re: phpDivinglog Wordpress Integration
Inferno asked me to split the Wordpress integration into a separate thread, for easier handling.
Re: phpDivinglog 2.2 development
Get a book of css or read the many manuals on the net.... For testing your css use Firefox with the Firebug extension! Read the docs how to use it. If you have specific questions feel free to ask, this is an Open source product so it will never fit all your needs.ianr wrote:Thanks for that.
