[ckan-dev] Wordpress and CKAN

[Reinier Battenberg]

Hi,

We just launched www.data.ug and what we did (with Drupal) was to use a Drupal 
theme based on bootstrap. Then in CKAN, we created a theme module that uses 
the same bootstrap.css as Drupal. The header and the footer we just copied 
from the Drupal HTML to the CKAN theme.

That gave us a 80/20 score of CKAN looking the same as Drupal. 

Lastly, we did the same as data.gov and run Drupal on the www.data.ug site and 
CKAN on a catalog.data.ug site

(we also added geonode.org to the mix and did the same thing there.)

Yes, it still needs work, yes it could be done smarter, but we did it in a 
week, without any previous django knowledge.

While learning we also realized we can integrate this more tighter and 
generic, that will be for a later day.

If you want to run everything on 1 domain, than you should use the apache 
proxy module to have some subfolders handled by different applications. That is 
how data.gov.uk integrates drupal & ckan.

rgds,

Reinier

Hi


I am looking to add a Wordpress install that I will use alongside my CKAN 
install, at domain.com/blog.


I've heard that other people have done this but I can find any docs on how to 
do this and I am very new to Ubuntu! Any help would be appreciated. 


Thanks,
