Hi,
Does anyone have any experience with integrating Exhibit Engine into other CMS like PHP Nuke? I would like to integrate it with that or something simillar. I don't have any scripting experience but I'm pretty sure it would not be too hard to do.

If it hasn't been done, are there any thoughts on the best way to do this?

I dont know about PHP Nuke, but I set up a second database for customers and I keep track of their sessions. Got some thingf from php.net. Works fine.

The Gallery v1.3.4 from http://gallery.menalto.com/ is very popular in the PHPNuke community. This gallery was also ported into Envolution, a fork of PHPNuke/Postnuke.

Envolution (envolution.com - envolution.it) has a very active developer community. Since we are working on a website based on Envolution for our Translator association I will ask our developer/webmaster if there are special problems in integrating EE-Gallery into Envolution.

With a module cold PostWrap you can integrate almost everything in PostNuke.

ok... I will look into some of these things. I guess the main thing would be to pick which parts of the site homepage (left side and top navigations plus maybe a few other features) and add that to the EE PHP code if possible. That way the EE section will feel integrated with the the homepage and rest of the site. I will mess with that when I get that far depending how some of these other options work.
Many thanks.

I've done full EE to site integrations by creating table structure surrounding EE: EE's header contain left and top TD and EE's footer contains right and bottom TD. As EE styles take over BODY tag you just fill TD backgrounds with site colors. Works really nicely.

Nope.. it seems to be some kind of problem with integrating EE in PostNuke with PostWrap. EE just pops up in a new browserwindow??

Try setting "framebuster" off in misc settings.

Can one of you doing this already post or email me links where this is being done?
Thank you.

Yes, it would be fine to have a kind of How-To integrating EE into a CMS like PostNuke or Envolution. My installation of the EE-Gallery works fine, also the installation of Envolution, but I still have to integrate EE in my CMS.

"PostWrap is a PostNuke module that enables virtually any web content such as HTML or scripts (home pages, galleries, shopping carts, php, perl, asp, etc.) to be easily incorporated into your PostNuke site.

Also, NukeWrap (PostWrap) and NukeJump (PostJump) for PHP-Nuke."

Here I’ve incorporate EE into a PostNuke site with Postwrap and Postjump. Postjump makes EE the startpage in the mainframe.

Right on!

You can "wrap" EE into Mambo CMS as well....

Keep us updated on any progress.
I was working on EE/Mambo integration, but a major fork-in-the-road came before me. :lol:

Like the site.. How did you 'wrap' EE into Mambo? and remove the top links bar?

There is a Module in Mambo called "wrapper".
It is essentially an iFrame where you can have another url loaded into it.(I think that is the right description??)

If you want to get rid of the top nav bar all together, delete the code in languages_eng_header.php.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to give it a go unless Pekka comes up with something in the meantime of course.
