WordPress offers a multi-user blog engine – currently running as version 0.13 [1] – using the Smarty template engine. If you like to handle images with WordPress, just have a look at Pictpress [2]. Then finally, today I came along WP2PDF [3] which is an add-on for WordPress to generate PDF files from blog posts. What do we need more? Maybe a single sign-on handling; then just have a look at chregu\’s post [4] and modifications to have his bxcms-blog to interoperate with Sxip services.
Somewhere on my machine there is a homegrown blog-post to PDF generator laying around: the concept of my implementation was this:
– there is no guaranty, that blog posts are wellformed XHTML; use PHP PECL tidy to fix that.
– have a look at FPDF, a PHP class to convert content to PDF; make sure your content is XHTML.
– glue the blog output, the tidy conversion and the PDF conversion together.
E voilà. Maybe, just skip the above and look at what Radek Hulán scripted [5].
