WP BASEPAGE

What is this basepage issue anyway?

Drupal URLs vs WordPress URLs Drupal -- http://drupal.dev/civicrm/event/register? reset=1&id=3 WordPress – http://wpcv45.dev/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/ register&reset=1&id=3

?page=CiviCRM&q=

http://wpcv45.dev/civicrm/? page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/ register&reset=1&id=3 civicrm/?page=CiviCRM&q=

Automated in 4.6

SLIDE 12

End Result: /includes/civicrm.basepage.php

BasePage now have its own class CiviCRM_For_WordPress_Basepage

Shortcodes

Allow CiviCRM content to be added to WordPress content types example: [civicrm component="contribution" id="1" mode="live" hijack="0"] All WordPress shortcodes are added to a post, page or Custom Post Type

Shortcode issues before 4.6:

  • Multiple shortcodes on one ‘page’
  • Fail
  • Shortcodes and WordPress Content
  • Fail
  • Archive Page (eg. /events) where each

page has a CiviCRM shortcode

  • Fail

…

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Shortcodes in 4.6 : Allow multiple shortcodes on a page. This can be a ‘single’ page or an ‘archive’ page

Shortcodes now have their own class CiviCRM_For_WordPress_Shortcodes

Hooks

WordPress Hooks Action Hooks

Filter Hooks

In WordPress Action Hooks ‘do stuff’, Filter Hooks ‘take input, modify it and return it’

slide-31
SLIDE 31

WordPress Hooks in CiviCRM Before 4.6 all Hooks had to be named: wordpress_civicrm_hookname

slide-32
SLIDE 32
slide-33
SLIDE 33

Challenges:

In Drupal this was not an issue as the hooks were: modulename_civicrm_hookname But in WordPress this did not work. To use hooks in WP plugins all hooks had to start with ‘wordpress_’ not the plugin name (equivalent of Module Name) So if you wanted to use the same hook more than once it would fail. Hooks used by different plugins could also clash as there was no proper naming convention

In 4.6 we can now hook into CiviCRM properly

How: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/4360 CRM_Utils_Hook_WordPress

What’s Next?

  • Still work to be done on WP-CiviCRM
  • Webforms?
  • CiviCRM native Webforms
  • Gravity Forms Interation – Nate Porter
  • Parity with Drupal and Joomla!
  • Would like to see CiviCRM be truly CMS agnostic
  • Sustainability
  • By creating parity the market potential for CiviCRM is

much greater

  • The fact is CiviCRM currently is more feature rich on

Drupal
