Do you have any experience with embedded SC apps in WordPress?

Guys,

Do you have any experience with embedded SC apps in WordPress? I have to create simple application with few forms and user management inside (profiles) and would like to know i SC will be correct software to do it. I have SC8, 1y ago I created few apps with success. I am going to use <iframe>s but maybe you have other experiences with embedded SC on WordPress Page. Do you? How to deal with this subject?

It’s the way I do it with E107 CMS. Although I transfer cms data to my sc applications where needed, also I am accessing the cms database from scriptcase for logon purposes, etc.

try using this plugin for Word Press.

Looks like a good tip to me. In general all major cms’s have a wrapper plugin like the one above.

Thanks a lot.

I am going to try it.
Looks fine…

What is you experience with WP and SC together? Could you please give me few hints what kind of problems i could meet? How you organize login process etc… I am going to create WP Page with password and put SC Login app with fields username/password. Double authentication. Is it a good choice? Could you please write more how your installation is organized?

Many thanks!

Hello Albert.

Thanks for answer. You are always ready to help - thanks again.
I checked plugin WP Scriptcase (deprecated). It was based on iframe as well. Now I haven’t to much time to write new plugin for WP because I have deadline but I am going to write new one. Many Clients asked me about applications which could work inside their webpage.

An example is worth more than 1000 words …

Here is a concrete example of integration with wp :

Select from the first list for single record; or search in any of the two select to see a list view and then a detail .

I hope you find it useful.

I don’t have experience with WP wrappers and Scriptcase. We work with E107. Main issue with CMS’s is that safety is as strong as the weakest used plugin. Since WP has tons of them (and competative similar components, ie. lot’s of forums and a few good ones, but they don’t always are compatible with the choosen theme) it’s virtually impossible to judge the quality of all the plugins to pick the one that’s right for you. So investigate the choosen plugin and modify what you need to get it to your own standard.

Thanks Colleagues for quick tips.
WP Advanced Iframe can solve my problems.

Thanks, I going to trying this lframe. :slight_smile:

The iframe solution resolves only problem of showing App within the CMS (and I have not seem 100% working iframe) in WP because depending on what is in the iframe to be shown it fails with the sizing, zooming, passing parameters etc. . There are other levels of integration which is allowing SC App access based on WP login. How you manage this ? Also there are two choices to login user: 1-WP Login 2-SC Login. This seems to be an issues with all CMS systems and the solution “auducom” mentioned is only partial workaround. I wish somebody created some fully workable plugin for WP which would allow to integrate all features.

The problem is that Scriptcase is build around IFrames and not div’s. Makes integration much harder. But I don’t know the in’s and out’s of WP so some guru here might have a different opinion. Within E107 I have not had real issues integrating SC applications. I have integrated the user logon and pass variables to the application. Not visa versa.

There are to levels of integration:

  • running SC apps within WP
  • integrating user credentials

While the first one might be easy to implement iwht iFrames (which look ugly and unprofessional), the second it much harder to do. I wish SC would offer at least user integration level. I also agree 100% with Albert that converting SC templaes to DIV’s is crucial for further development. It also affects mobile devices to this is a MUST in next SC release !
