Having bought two CMS plugins for RW (Dropkick CMS and EditsPRO), I’m wondering why at this point in RW development, this functionality doesn’t already ship with the program. WordPress and the other CMS have it - a big reason to choose them over RW when it comes to making sites for clients that may…

A lot of us have been pushing for it for years and years. They just never develop it. Don’t know why…

Thanks Flash. I just made my own CMS using WordPress as the back end - here are the steps for anybody interested: Install WordPress -> wp-config to get DB credentials -> wp_posts is the field that has the data -> paste an include to your script (Perl, PHP etc) in RapidWeaver where you want the e…

Example includes: .shtml <!–#include virtual="/includes/example.pl" --> .php <?php require ‘/includes/example.php’ ; ?> Did I mention this CMS is FREE?!! No licenses No subscriptions Use on as many sites as you want!

wow! Again? Can you clarify what you are doing here? I mean, install wordpress on the same domain as the rapidweaver site? so pastes this include code on the RW PAGE (not general code settings for entire site?) then add a text stack? Then the client can login? Thanks for your support.

Hi Dominick, This is a NO STACK solution. :slight_smile: Just grab the data from the WordPress DB in MySQL and paste the include calls in your RapidWeaver site wherever you want.

Hi Jannis, I like WordPress, so what? But if you don’t, you can go direct to MySQL or use some other CMS for the back end. WordPress is not required.

I agree Steve. And imagine the amount of support requests RMS would get for a built-in CMS.

There is no reason why adding CMS hooks or capability should end up in a lot of support needed - IF implemented well. E.g. Blocs App has inbuilt support for 4 CMS solutions baked into it and is created and maintained by just one developer.

Fair enough. I’m just going on the amount of support requests we see here for RW as it is now, without a CMS.
