WordPress On Rails

The goal of this simple Gem is to provide a set of ActiveRecord objects that can manipulate a WordPress database.

What’s new in this release?

This is really just a set of objects right now. It needs to be expanded on before it can be used to manipulate a WP installation without a lot of inside information as to what each field means.

Installation/Usage

WordPress Administrators must use PRE-2.5 credential hashing algorithm, which is less secure, if you want to be able to authenticate users in Rails. See wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/ gem install wp_on_rails

require ‘wp_on_rails’

# if you want to use one database for your rails application and another for wordpress # create a ‘blog’ connection in your database file with the proper credentials # also, a third parameter can be passed in which is the prefix to assign to the # wordpress table names - this is optional. WordPress::Base.init_connection(#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/database.yml’,’blog’,’blog1_’)

# if you set a prefix in your installation and your wordpress tables are in the current database WordPress::Base.set_table_prefix(‘prefix_’)

TODO

• Not all tables are in place
• Relationships between tables are missing
• Tests
• Documentation
• Implement PHPass and remove MD5 password hashing requirement
