"Bolting on" a WordPress app to OfBiz

Andrew Williams
We're wondering about the sanity of doing this. Has anyone done this?

Our objective is to get authoritative customer/item data on the WordPress side of things.

It seems like most of the work would be beating WordPress into shape, but the alternative is redeveloping the WordPress app as an OfBiz thingy.

Thoughts?

Hi Andrew,
Here you have two options as you already mentioned and both have advantages
and todos.

   - Expose all OFBiz services to interact with wordpress. and keep the
   ecommerce site on wordpress.
   - Advantage: You will have content/theme managed already working website.
      - TODOs: You need to know all the services and business. Also need to
      find a way to expose and data interaction point at both side. Data
      migration is another work needs to be done. Running two system
in parallel.
      - Rewrite the ecommerce website in the OFBiz.
   - Advantage: You will have the theme managed website but not as smart as
      wordpress to manage but on single platform.
      - TODOs: Ecommerce site rewrite and url redirects needs to be managed.

In either case data migration would be required from wordpress to OFBiz. I
would suggest to go with rewriting the ecommerce site on top of OFBiz. This
will help to take OFBiz as is, with comparatively less efforts including
testing.

As of now I do not know if Sanity around wordpress bolting exists in OFBiz.

Best Regards,
