PHP Mapscript and CMS

[Paul Scott]

I too have am working on integating PHP/Mapscript into a CMS/Learning
Management System, kewl.NextGen (http://kngforge.uwc.ac.za/nextgen)

I plan on doing this this year still, and it will be totally modular
(much like XOOPS).

The curent implementation of Nextgen is as a LMS, but it can easily be
configured as a CMS, by registering only the CMS Specific modules.

Please note that NextGen is in Beta phase only, so much of it is
experimental!

Not yet but we plan to integrate with eZ publish (http://ez.no), also
php based. In prototyping, I stored the meta data for querying inside eZ
publish (which has a nice flexible content model) and a corresponding
template queried a mapserver instance with the meta data (at that time
only the php cgi version worked with mapserver while eZ publish is
mod_php). All that was a 10 minute job after the installation of
mapserver,  as it boiled down to only a few lines of  eZ template code.

We will in the next months write a eZ publish module for more
flexibility, but it won't be finished by the end of the year.

        Hi,

        did someone integrate PHP Mapscript with a Content Management
System? Perhaps with XOOPS? I think it shouldn't be too difficult, but
wanted to hear about your experiences before starting the real coding...


        Thanks for any help,

        Stefan
