Integration with Zend Framework
Permalink
Hi all
I have a site I've built using the Zend Framework, and until now have been using my own custom CMS, also built on the Zend Framework.
My client wants a more flexible CMS so I would love to go with C5 - is it possible to integrate with the Zend MVC architecture without building the whole thing from scratch?
Many thanks for your help

Not possible. But what is the functionality that you would need to rebuild? Perhaps all of the functionality exists in concrete5 so you can just move it over and not need to recode anything (other than the theme design)?
A couple things.
1. If you're talking about swapping out the MVC syntax/approach used in concrete5 for that of the Zend Framework, then I'd probably agreed with Jordan: I don't think this would be easily doable or recommended.
2. If, however, you're talking about a concrete5 site living side by side with an existing app, that _is_ possible. It's possible to add concrete5's CMS functionality to individual directories inside a web app, with the CMS functionality living on down. So..
http://www.yoursite.com/ - a custom site
http://www.yoursite.com/about/ - a concrete5 entry point
http://www.yoursite.com/events/... - a concrete5 entry point
http://www.yoursite.com/custom_app/... - a custom app
If that sounds like something useful I can give more information on how to make this work.

Hi!
You could create packages out of your CMS's extra functionalities that you have. You can even put them onto the C5 Marketplace, if you want.
