WordPress Extractor Stack - RapidWeaver
If you are like me and you wanted to have the content from your WordPress posts and pages inside RapidWeaver but were put off by a messy integration job with Themes. Then , you may find this new Stack released from SymfoniP very useful
What does it do?
Simply, we retrieve the raw HTML code generated inside your WordPress Post or Page (it is all the same to us ) and then have this displayed in your preferred RapidWeaver web site. A powerful connector for WordPress CMS to RapidWeaver without the usual pain involved in ‘hacking ’ a beautiful RapidWeaver Theme to fit.You have a link to an image or a video file or you even added an iframe link to YouTube or Vimeo this data is all preserved when it is dynamically transferred to your Stacks Page.
All post editing is made in the WordPress post giving you or your clients remote editing functionality , saving you time re-publishing your RapidWeaver project whenever there are changes to be made.
You can also mix and match additional stack elements in your RapidWeaver Stacks page if you so wish to have something that will remain static :)

Other Stacks - Interacting
To test interaction with other Stacks we are using Flowbox and Audio MP3 Player Stacks.
As we extract content from WordPress to RapidWeaver, we make full use of Stacks that can interact with media or links that were stored originally in the WordPress article
