Hi,
I have a pre-existing site and have been looking for a bolt-in CMS which would allow non techies to update simple content such as page text. CouchCMS seems ideal but there is a catch: The existing site already utilises PHP and MySql to load some of its content. I'm not sure if this is an important detail but this is achieved with custom code, not another CMS.
The content which is already being loaded does not need to be editable by the users who will be making page edits (I hope that makes sense?), so I would like to leave the existing functionality of the site alone if possible.
I've installed CouchCMS (V1.4.7) on the site and merged it into the existing database. The pages load as they should until I add the require couch/cms.php line into the opening php. At this point CouchCMS starts working but my existing SQL connection fails. I get lots of errors along the lines of:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO).
Is there some way I can use my existing SQL queries etc. alongside CouchCMS or is this simply not possible?
I'm open to any ideas. The CouchCMS integration is only taking place inside of a test environment at this stage so I've got nothing to lose trying things out. I'm reasonably proficient with PHP and MySQL but have no idea where to start with this.
Thanks in advance!
