OFBiz Blog, Integration 3rd party tools

[Sascha Rodekamp-3]

Hi everybody,

i thought of having a full featured blog in my ofbiz application.
I like to have a blog that has functions like i.e. wordpress, roller.
The ofbiz blog can't offer me these things :-)

So someone have an idea how to integrate i.e Roller
http://roller.apache.org/ (because it's java based)
or some other great blog software in ofbiz?

So long
Sascha

Heidi

If need is to have something functional quickly then I would suggest you
  look at the code of the blog, like wordpress, applications then just
post to ofbiz what is needed. the application would not be in ofbiz
workspace.
Like your login. But the rest of the application runs in it own space
and database.
I would then suggest that you look at the blog in ofbiz and how to add
the functionality of the other blogs for long term.

Hm thats the point. The idea was to run a 3rd party blog in, maybe, an
iFrame (i really don't like this idea).

So there are two options, to fully integrate a functional blog application
or extend/ improve the ofbiz blog. There are pro and cons for both.

Sascha, sorry to revive such an old post but we were just looking for a similar option and we also found Roller. It does look like it would accomplish everything we need. Did you have any success with it? Cheers.

[Sascha Rodekamp-3]

Hi Scott,
nope we went another way. Roller doesn't fit to our needs, so i give up
investigating on this task.
The reason was we need more than only the blog functionality and we had to
create an ofbiz based CMS System.

Cheers
Sascha

why not use the ofbiz blog and extend where required?

i wrote a description of the current ofbiz blog at:
http://www.antwebsystems.com/control/ViewBlogArticle?contentId=16600

and now with the keywords we implemented on content even a tagcloud is
not too difficult to implement... see http://www.ofbiz.info for an
example.

look at http://www.antwebsystems.com there we use the current ofbiz
blog.

Regards,
Hans
