Felix Geisendorfer’s Blog: Migrating from WordPress to CakePHP
Original post provide by PHP FreaksFelix Geisendorfer is in the process of moving his blog from Wordpress to a customized lightweight CakePHP replacement he’s developing to be extended later on. His post shares some of the tips he found so far.
In this post I’m simply going to throw out some snippets to show how I’m currently approaching the whole process in order to give both my insight into what works and what doesn’t, while also hoping to get some people to share their insight into migrating legacy apps to CakePHP.
The tip in this post is primarily about the database side of things his porting over of the information from the Wordpress table model to his new customized schema. His code example for the migration is included.
