So I'm two and a half months into a project replacing an e-commerce site
with a custom built CakePHP site. The current site starts in Wordpress
(LAMP) and flips to a horribly written PHP site (WAMP) with all sorts of
reverse proxies and stuff going on. The client has now decided they want to
retain the Wordpress site for CMS (I get that) and because it has great SEO
rankings (I get that too). However, they want everything to happen inside
Wordpress rather than flipping out to a stand alone site for order
processing. I've already written much of the back end order processing
stuff in Cake and it makes sense to retain that.
My question is: how can I display Cake elements (or views) inside the
Wordpress site? For example, there's a quote form that takes in the
customer's requirements, puts it through some fairly detailed calculations
and returns prices, up-sells and postage details. My initial thoughts are
to make an ajax call to the Cake API and return either fully rendered HTML
or perhaps just some json data. Before I spend days trying stuff out is
there another route? Does anyone have any experience or advice? Should
Wordpress exist in the webfoot folder (as if it were just being used as a
blog) or should they be on separate domains ('/' and /-api, for example)?
The next challenge will be sharing session information but there's plenty
of existing searches for that.
Thanks.
