[ckan-dev] CKAN <-> Wordpress

Fri Oct 10 11:14:40 UTC 2014

Hi Matt,

what are your requirements? You can easily use the CKAN frontend to display
the data and create a WordPress theme to look alike (or vice-versa).
There are already some example around where CKAN and WordPress are used on
the same page, e.g.

mysite.org/ => served by WordPress
mysite.org/dataset => served by CKAN
mysite.org/groups => served by CKAN
mysite.org/about => served by WordPress

etc.

LIke that you can use the best of both world (CKAN for the data part,
WordPress for the CMS part).

This is the exact same architecture that we used for opendata.admin.ch:

http://opendata.admin.ch => SymfonyCMF
http://opendata.admin.ch/de/dataset => CKAN
http://opendata.admin.ch/de/apps => SymfonyCMF
http://opendata.admin.ch/de/faq => SymfonyCMF
http://opendata.admin.ch/de/organization => CKAN

Like that you actually run two different applications and there is no need
to integrate them using an API etc. To do that, you only need a webserver
as a proxy that knows which route must be served by which application.

Best Regards Stefan
