About this blog

This blog started as a WordPress evaluation.   I am a software developer, and wanted to experiment / evaluate WordPress for use as a CMS in various web application projects that I create.

As my evaluation continued, I found it an enjoyable mental challenge to post things to my blog that I find interesting.  The primary purpose of this blog now is as a journal, often I find myself reference pass posts for link to articles, or even to re-analyze what I was thinking at the time (that post about selling Apple at $450 comes to mind..).  The other purpose of this blog is as a sandbox / practice area for improving my writing.  I am trying to refine my process of composing articles – as a software engineer I guess I can’t help myself trying to optimize the process.

My blog posts are essentially drafts.  I don’t have anybody proof reading or editing the content.  I try to clean it up as much as possible, but that’s not of great interest to me – my ‘syntax’ quality threshold is pretty low on this site.

I hope any readers that happen across this blog find it interesting, and will overlook any grammatical or spelling errors.  All comments or questions are welcome as I am always up for a discussion and/or hearing alternative opinions.

    V Dan, I seek your help.

    I’ve developed a WASM Ap which runs fine. You probably know the file structure: A simple Index.html file which the user’s browser uses to load the WASM Ap (files: images, wasm, etc). All new stuff expecting to launch soon.

    A non-programming partner chose WordPress for our Web Site & has done a good job – pretty, etc. The WASM Ap runs from a folder, but partner sez user access cannot be Authenticated unless we “embed” the WASM Ap in WP. He tells me the WP rep told him it had to be done for Authentication but can’t tell him how to do it. Info is sparce, but 3rd party plugins seem to be available for the task, i.e. WP is not designed to deliver WASM Aps (or any Aps?) to users.

    The partner tells me we’ve got to jump through hoops to put our Ap on our WP site, e.g. replacing our “index.html file with a tool.php file that calls your functions. But it has to follow the WP coding standards. For instance, when we create a page in WordPress you will want to “wrap” the tool inside of the existing wp page that includes all of the menus, page links and style. The JS and WASM would then run from inside of that page, which we will be able for lock for members only.”

    That suggests WP doesn’t like any files when “html” files need replacing with php. It also sound convoluting & much unnecessary work for a simple html initial launch. It suggest WP may not accept wasm, images, pdfs, etc or those my Ap might auto-create in the user’s browser & upload back to our site. This is all to authenticate a user’s access. It suggests wasm has nothing to do with it & WP would not allow any Ap (say HTML/CSS/JS) without wrappers & such.

    SWOOP has a WP Plugin that seems simple & allows simple creation of “Protected Folders” into which I could put my Ap files. Do you know if WP will allow it to run without file wrappers, php, etc? If not, my initial reaction is to run the Ap from another server without WordPress on it.

    Thanks,
    –tex
