wjordpress 0.1.0

WordPress Setup

Once you have a WordPress site setup, you need to make sure it has the JSON REST API plugin installed and activated. That’s it! If you want real-time updates, you’ll need the HookPress plugin TODO.

Django Setup

Install into your environment:

# pip install wjordpress  # TODO
pip install https://github.com/texastribune/wjordpress/archive/master.tar.gz

Install into your Django project:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... your other installed apps
    'wjordpress',
]

Create the database tables:

# python manage.py migrate wjordpress  # TODO
python manage.py syncdb

Add a WordPress site:

In your Django admin, add a new site in Wjordpress -> Sites:

Just enter the url to the WordPress blog and save.

Currently, there is no automatic syncing (yet). The easiest workaround is to put manage.py wjordpress_fetch in a cron job.

Scenarios

Easy peasy lemon squeezy:

1. Setup a link to a WordPress site

2. Write a view and template to display WordPress content

Bring your own models:

1. Setup a link to a WordPress site

2. Create a post_save signal on the Wjordpress models to sync to your own content models
