What's the best way you have come up with for having custom PHP pages in Wordpress? I do not really like my method of creating a page template and then creating a blank page using that page template. edit: to make it clear, I still want it to go through index.php and to have access to all WP functions.

It's actually best practice to include Javascript at the end of your body when possible so I tend to avoid the wp_enqueue_script method and just manually put a script tag at the end of the body using something like the following.code:supster fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Jul 7, 2009 |

The following scenario comes up a lot (with variations of course) and I usually just end up doing custom development for it instead of using Wordpress. However, I'd really like to start using Wordpress for sites like this so I'm here to see if there's a good solution for the following. A lot of times clients want 80% static sites that have one or two dynamic pages. Wordpress is perfect for that 80%, but I don't know of a clean and maintainable way of doing the other 20%. Let's say it's a real estate company and they want to have a minimal database of their current listings. Just 4-5 fields and maybe an image. Is there a good way of doing this? Do I have to go down the route of plugins? Is it a bitch? Before anyone says it, I understand that most of the time that could simply be done by having them create pages in a special category for each of the listings and then use a custom template to display those pages. I've done this many times before when appropriate, but a lot of times it's very limiting (say one of the fields is a price field and they want users to be able to filter between a certain price range).

You can do some seriously heavy dynamic work with Wordpress, but it's going to require some code. There are a number of real estate listing plugins, I assume one of them would provide that functionality.

NotShadowStar posted:You can use the stuff I posted earlier for managing publications on a content-based website as a basis. It adds a control panel in the admin interface, and you need to create a custom page to spit out the content how you want it. Problem being, PHP is kind of a poo poo language and Wordpress doesn't help you much outside of Wordpress database functions, so you end up doing a lot of work. It looks like a bigger pain than it's worth, but good to know anyway. edit: thanks too, Ned. That plugin looks like a good starting point.

Redesigned (and reorganizing of old content) from the ground up, the current site is total poo poo. Just ballpark it if you can, and if you really want to make me cry, take a guess at the hours you'd put into it.

You need to make a custom page template and put your code in there.

This is a wild guess, but your session may be getting lost when you switch from HTTP to HTTPs. Does the user get logged out or anything?

This might not be what you're looking for at all since it's a hosted service, but I've heard really good things about Shopify - http://www.shopify.com/.

Anyone have any suggestions for a contact form plugin that can be called from a template file (e.g., with a php function)? I tried Contact Form 7 as per Ned's suggestion and I love it - but it's kind of annoying have to use the [contact] shortcode stuff when my actual page content is blank and all in the template file. I really like how Contact Form 7 works though, very straight forward and easy to do settings.
