WordPress Extractor Stack - easy integration with RW

kbbruxkbbrux EuropePosts: 971Members
If you are like me and you wanted to have the content from your WordPress posts and pages inside RapidWeaver but were put off by a messy integration job with Themes. Then , you will find this new Stack released from SymfoniP very useful

wp_extractor_512px_text.jpg

What does it do?
Simply, this new stack element will retrieve the raw HTML code generated inside your WordPress Post or Page (it is all the same to us ) and then have this displayed in your preferred RapidWeaver web site. A powerful connector for WordPress CMS to RapidWeaver without the usual pain involved in ‘hacking ’ a beautiful RapidWeaver Theme to fit.

You have a link to an image or a video file or you even added an iframe link to YouTube or Vimeo this data is all preserved when it is dynamically transferred to your Stacks Page.

All post editing is made in the WordPress post giving you or your clients remote editing functionality , saving you time re-publishing your RapidWeaver project whenever there are changes to be made.

You can also mix and match additional stack elements in your RapidWeaver Stacks page if you so wish to have something that will remain static :)

Additional Bonus Features
In other words you do not need extra ‘Stacks’ to do this !

- Large Fluid (Responsive images) when adding the ‘large image type’ from the WordPress media library
- Responsive YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv Video iframes
- caching of WordPress post data to ensure your pages are not making any redundant requests

Demo Page
* The RapidWeaver Page with WP Page Extractor http://symfonip.com/sympreview/stacks/wpextract.php
* Our WordPress Test Site that we started with - http://wp.symfonip.com

What it does not do!
- Will not use(inherit) plugins or widgets, WordPress shortcodes in your WordPress page . All effects are managed within your RapidWeaver Stacks page
- Retrieve Blog Posts a separate Stack element will be available soon to address Blogging post elements. Although WP-Blog plugin already does a great job in that area.

- PHP 5.x
- Access to the WordPress Dashboard (at a minimum ‘Editor’ level, if it is your WordPress installation then we do not advise using the ‘admin’ username and passwords, we talk about this setup in our User Guide)

    A very nice option for 'blogging' in a Stack environment.

    Nice job.

    Sounds like a great stack!

    I just need some clarification...your description seems to say that it imports the blog posts, and then later on you say that it does not import the blog posts. Maybe I'm just reading it wrong.

    Does it import Wordpress pages, or posts? (or both?) i.e. can this stack be used as an alternative to Joe's Tumblr stack for blogging?
  • kbbruxkbbrux EuropePosts: 971Members
    @gdawg At the moment we do not import the complete blog per se but we can 'extract' individual pages / posts in slices , see our setup guide for some more information.

    @edbrenner Cheers

    Is this an alternative to WP-Blog? Is it any better or easier? I'm getting fed up with my WP-Blog and am looking for an alternative.
    Does anyone have any examples of this stack BESIDES the one provided by developer?

    At the moment ( as stated in the plugin pages) we don't show a stream of blog posts :(

    Nice stack!
    I'm wondering if I can use this stack to import WordPress bbPress into Rapidweaver ?
  • vkostavkosta Posts: 16Members
    So, can it import wordpress forum into rapidweaver page ?
  • Ed BrennerEd Brenner TexasPosts: 3,332Moderators
    @vkosta I believe the developer of the stack is currently away on travels. And is due to return soon.
