Wordpress Corcel

This package extends jgrossi/corcel as it enables you to use the database configuration from laravel:

Corcel\BaseModel::setConfiguredConnection('mysql_wp');

Corcel is under development, but it's working :D

--

Corcel is a class collection created to retrieve Wordpress database data using a better syntax. It uses the Eloquent ORM developed for the Laravel Framework, but you can use Corcel in any type of PHP project.

This way you can use Wordpress as back-end, to insert posts, custom types, etc, and you can use what you want in front-end, like Silex, Slim Framework, Laravel, Zend, or even pure PHP (why not?).

Installation

To install Corcel just create a composer.json file and add:

"require": {
    "kummerer94/corcel": "dev-master"
},

After that run composer install and wait.

Usage

First you must include the Composer autoload file.

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Now you must set your Wordpress database params:

$params = array(
    'database'  => 'database_name',
    'username'  => 'username',
    'password'  => 'pa$$word',
    'prefix'    => 'wp_' // default prefix is 'wp_', you can change to your own prefix
);
Corcel\Database::connect($params);

You can specify all Eloquent params, but some are default (but you can override them).

'driver'    => 'mysql',
'host'      => 'localhost',
'charset'   => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix'    => 'wp_', // Specify the prefix for wordpress tables, default prefix is 'wp_'

Posts

// All published posts
$posts = Post::published()->get();
$posts = Post::status('publish')->get();

// A specific post
$post = Post::find(31);
echo $post->post_title;

You can retrieve meta data from posts too.

// Get a custom meta value (like 'link' or whatever) from a post (any type)
$post = Post::find(31);
echo $post->meta->link; // OR
echo $post->fields->link;
echo $post->link; // OR

Updating post custom fields:

$post = Post::find(1);
$post->meta->username = 'juniorgrossi';
$post->meta->url = 'http://grossi.io';
$post->save();

Inserting custom fields:

$post = new Post;
$post->save();

$post->meta->username = 'juniorgrossi';
$post->meta->url = 'http://grossi.io';
$post->save();

Custom Post Type

You can work with custom post types too. You can use the type(string) method or create your own class.

// using type() method
$videos = Post::type('video')->status('publish')->get();

// using your own class
class Video extends Corcel\Post
{
    protected $postType = 'video';
}
$videos = Video::status('publish')->get();

Custom post types and meta data:

// Get 3 posts with custom post type (store) and show its title
$stores = Post::type('store')->status('publish')->take(3)->get();
foreach ($stores as $store) {
    $storeAddress = $store->address; // option 1
    $storeAddress = $store->meta->address; // option 2
    $storeAddress = $store->fields->address; // option 3
}

Taxonomies

You can get taxonomies for a specific post like:

$post = Post::find(1);
$taxonomy = $post->taxonomies()->first();
echo $taxonomy->taxonomy;

Or you can search for posts using its taxonomies:

$post = Post::taxonomy('category', 'php')->first();

Pages

Pages are like custom post types. You can use Post::type('page') or the Page class.

// Find a page by slug
$page = Page::slug('about')->first(); // OR
$page = Post::type('page')->slug('about')->first();
echo $page->post_title;

Categories & Taxonomies

Get a category or taxonomy or load posts from a certain category. There are multiple ways to achief it.

// all categories
$cat = Taxonomy::category()->slug('uncategorized')->posts()->first();
echo "<pre>"; print_r($cat->name); echo "</pre>";

// only all categories and posts connected with it
$cat = Taxonomy::where('taxonomy', 'category')->with('posts')->get();
$cat->each(function($category) {
    echo $category->name;
});

// clean and simple all posts from a category
$cat = Category::slug('uncategorized')->posts()->first();
$cat->posts->each(function($post) {
    echo $post->post_title;
});

Attachment and Revision

Getting the attachment and/or revision from a Post or Page.

$page = Page::slug('about')->with('attachment')->first();
// get feature image from page or post
print_r($page->attachment);

$post = Post::slug('test')->with('revision')->first();
// get all revisions from a post or page
print_r($post->revision);

TODO

I'm already working with Wordpress comments integration.
