First off - a big thanks to the CI community on the groovy framework
...now if I could also get a little advice on the following
(apologies if long winded - I wanted to be clear) I'll be sorted!
Currently...
I have an existing CI application, basically an 'Events Manager' that sits by-itself and works away quite happily.
It has a simple Client Backend and spits out applicable 'Events' in XML, based on the URI eg:
Code:
// All events in July
currentsite.com/events/july
// Only those on July 26th
currentsite.com/events/2009/07/26
NB: No restrictions on the output - it's meant to be publicly viewable.
...and then:
Another client has an existing site running on WordPress and they would like to incorporate a version of the 'Events Manager'.
WordPress is running in the root / and I've got the CI Events app running from a sub-directory /events (just the index.php, the app + system folders are safely above web root).
They seem to behave together, with WordPress being told via .htaccess to ignore /events folder. Cool.
Crazy?
I wondered how to suck selected 'Events' information into actual WordPress pages... while keeping further coding in WP to a minimum.
Since the output from the CI app is currently XML, I figured I'd just make a quick call to an XML parsing function (from within the WordPress page template) and as if I was accessing the URI normally eg:
Code:
newsite.com/events/2009/07/26
...then format and output the result.
Now, this seems to work, but what I'd really like some input on is whether or not there is a more efficient/cleaner/saner way to do this?
Cheers
