WordPress API to Smarty
WordPress API to Smarty
Put your WordPress content on your CubeCart storefront, live, without copying anything between the two.
What it does
You define one or more feeds, each pointing at a WordPress REST API URL. The plugin fetches them and exposes the results to your skin as numbered Smarty variables, WORDPRESS_FEED_1 through to as many as you configure, each a normal PHP array your templates can loop over.
Typical uses
- Latest blog posts on the store home page, straight from
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts - Customer testimonials above the footer, from a testimonials endpoint, optionally filtered to five star reviews only
- Any custom post type you already maintain in WordPress and do not want to maintain twice
Settings
- A Smarty variable prefix and number per feed, with certain numbers reserved for specific Havenswift skin areas so a feed drops straight into the right place
- An optional homepage title URL, which turns the section heading into a link on skins that support it
- A maximum description length, so a long post does not blow out a small panel
Why this rather than an iframe or a copy and paste
The content stays in WordPress, where it is written, and appears on the store as native markup inside your own skin, so it is styled by your skin, indexed as part of your store page, and never goes stale. Marketing keeps its blog; the shop gets the benefit.
