How do I embed Textpattern in another page?
Q.
How do I embed Textpattern in another page or script?
I tried include()ing publish.php and it didn’t work!
A.
Textpattern is designed as a stand-alone application. Trying to embed it in another page or script doesn’t work well, for various reasons. (In particular, Textpattern uses output buffering, If-Modified-Since caching, and sends HTTP headers, all of which usually interfere with wrapper scripts)
Usually that turns out not to be nessary though. Try doing things the other way around: embed your content or script in Textpattern, using page templates, forms and < txp:php> tags. That way you’ll have a consistent interface for editing all of your pages.
