Closer To The Ideal

An impressive effort: 

I was looking for a nice blogging solution for symfony, and all I found was a very simple plugin and a lot of people encouraging me to build my own blog. Even though it is a nice exercise, my philosophy is to not reinvent the wheel. Wordpress is surely the best free blogging tool available, so I preferred to spend time integrating it into my symfony application than to create yet another sfVeryEasyBlogPlugin.Integrating Wordpress into symfony can be done in three steps :

• integrating the blog into the application and its layout
• merging the authentification system
• integrating the blogging information into the symfony application

To be able to use WordPress inside a Symfony project, with an integrated login system, amounts to being able to extend WordPress with the infinite range allowed by Symfony – and that amounts to a major expansion of WordPress. The potential is great.
