@lenglain Thank you for the great comments!

The flow for the back end is WP>RSS>Flash. The two most important steps in getting the WP backend to tie into the flash were using the WP plugin Custom Field Template, and adding nodes to the RSS feeds to display those custom fields. Others have found success in using AMFPHP communication to skip XML/RSS directly, but I chose to go the more familiar XML route when I built this site. By going the XML route, I was also easily able to publish the feeds behind the site to allow search engines grab the content as well.

Here you can see the modified atom rss with the custom fields.

@mloda, @auday1982, thank you!

brasofilo How did your approach end up working out??

timsoulo Thank you!

Nice site – good choice of theme to match the content. The only thing I would recomend is using verbose URL’s. It allows for better SEO and link sharing.

Check out this site for all you need to know about integrating AMFPHP. There is a solid example at the bottom of the homepage. https://www.amfphp.org/

Thanks! Jared

Thank you donatbollonk!

brasofilo, That is a different approach than what I have done, but it sounds like it is working for you. I haven’t seen that article before you posted a link to it, thanks. I unfortunately have been lazy and still have not added deep linking & SEO to the site. My todo list is to print the rss content feeds behind the flash & make sure the site can redirect the permalinks to the correct flash content.

comm123 thank you!

I think I will have to do that hernanvionnet. I definitely hit a lot of road blocks along the way that I think others could learn from.

Thank you!

A lot I don’t, it is agency work. The ones I do are just friends of friends.

Thanks Isaacyassar, I had no idea what I was getting into when I started, it was my 1st time with WP let alone trying to integrate into flash. It can be a bit heavy with the large imagery – initial load averages 1.75MB.

You best bet for something like this would be elance.com. With such a low budget for that project, you may have to scale back a bit to get any sort of respectable return.
