Integrating Web Blogger To Your Web Page

Step 1 : Create new PHP page

Create a web page where you would like to publish your blog. Save the web page file with .php extension, say for example, blogger.php.

* Note: You can put the file into your web root directory or any directory on the server.

Step 2 : Find Document Path

To ensure that your Web Blogger works regardless of the location of your web page, you will need to add your server's Document Path to all the PHP include codes.

To find the Document Path, open the ' /oneadmin/config.php ' file with your text editor, and note this path down. Let's assume the Document Path is /home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/.

Step 3 : Call the config.php file

Before calling any file, use one of the following code to call the oneadmin/config.php file. The config.php file will loads all the class libraries and creates database connection.

I. Enabling Image Verification Feature

If you have enabled the image verification to your Web Blogger system, insert this line to your web page file. To do this, open the blogger.php file with a text editor, and put it to the topmost line (line 1) of the blogger.php file, without any preceded character.

<?php
     include_once ("/home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/config.php");
     include_once ("/home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/common/session.php");
?>

II. Disabled Image Verification Feature

If the image verification feature of your Web Blogger is disabled, insert the following line to the topmost line (line 1) of the blogger.php file, without any preceded character.

<?php include_once ("/home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/config.php"); ?>

Step 4 : Load menu and content area

To load the Web Blogger's menu section, such as calendar, blog categories, recent entries, links, member login, place the include code below into the area you where want the menu to display (call the blogger/home.menu.php file).

<?php include("/home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/blogger/home.menu.php"); ?>

In the body content section, put the following line to display your blog and comments (calling the blogger/home.blog.php file).

<?php include("/home/sitename/public_html/oneadmin/blogger/home.blog.php"); ?>

Save your web page file and upload it via FTP.

Step 5 : View integration result.

Now, proceed to your web page URL, eg:   to view your Web Blogger front-end integration result.

To preview your sample blog page in real time, click on the 'front-end' link on the top right menu from within the One Admin panel.

We recommend that you place your codes on a hidden web page to test before placing them on a public page.

If you need more references on code plug-in guidelines, just open the /oneadmin/blogger/sampleblogger.php file with your text editor. To preview your sample web blog in real time, click on the 'front-end' link on the top right menu from within the One Admin panel.

* Note: Substitute the path in green to your Document Path (the complete path to your /oneadmin directory)
