I know it’s been a while since my last Shift Edit (^Edit) release, but good things take time. Plus, Member-management is a b1tch to write
Anyhow, since ^Edit is mainly client-side (at this point), I thought I’d try integrating it with WordPress to skip over some steps. It could have an application as an easy way to edit your own posts (i.e. Admin only) or as a wiki with the backbone of WordPress for comments, out-of-the-box functionality, etc.
Using WordPress as a framework, I just made a small change to the ^Edit server-side code to use the blog tables as a source, and wrapped the content in div’s with id=”post-###” (where ### is the post ID). Other than those changes, the WordPress install can run as stock.
To try it out, pop over to the Test Blog I set-up and try ^editing and saving the “Hello World” post (v0.1.9 instructions here if you need them).
If there’s much interest in a Wordpress plugin of this, I’ll definitely release one.
Have fun and please let me know what you think
