I'm in the process of designing a cake app with login/register and paypal recurring payment capabilities... but wait!
I've decided that I want to include a wordpress/buddpress area for members, which already has login/register functionality. Oh, and there's a paypal plug-in to handle recurring billing (s2Member). That would save me a lot of time. I also like the multiple blog capability. And an easier way to handle content management. How to approach this? I could make it so that the WP/BP area is the "home" with links to cake controller/actions. With my cake user functions using WP's users table. And making use of the WP session info. OR I could keep my cake app as the "home" and make it use the WP register/ login/logout functionality. Not sure if that's even possible or desirable. The cake "home" would then have a link to the WP/BP area that the member, once logged in, could visit. This option seems pretty ugly to me. The downsides, as I can tell at this point are: - duplication of design elements between cake and WP/BP theme - being tied to WP table structures for users and maybe other stuff (could be impacted by WP/BP updates?) - being tied to WP session Has anyone dealt with this issue? I could use some input for sure. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
