I have a magento store. I want to add a blog site(www.example.com/blog) on it using wordpress. For this, i am using Fishpig's Wordpress Integration 2.2.7. I wanted to have a different template for my blog site.

So, i have created a separate template for wordpress blog page. On the top of the page, i want to add recent posts slider i.e, i want to display a featured image of the post with few lines of the content with read more option. Additional information like author, published date will also be there with the content. How can i implement this on the blog page template?

Also my blog sites menu navigation will be different from store's menu navigation.

How can i implement this? Is it possible to do so with this plugin or any other? Please suggest me the best.

Thanks in advance.

You need to retrieve the image resource, then get the image url

$_image = $_post->getFeaturedImage();

echo $_image->getAvailableImage();

Take a look at Fishpig/Wordpress/Model/Image.php for more url methods:

public function getThumbnailImage()
public function getMediumImage()
public function getLargeImage()
public function getFullSizeImage()
public function getPostThumbnailImage()
public function getAvailableImage()
public function getImageByType($type = 'thumbnail')

To get the featured post image you can use

$post->getFeaturedImage();

Where $post is the Fishpig Wordpress post Collection object. Here is an example of getting a post where category_id = 3:

$col_posts = Mage::getResourceModel('wordpress/post_collection')
    ->addIsPublishedFilter()
    ->addCategoryIdFilter(3);
$col_posts->getSelect()->limit(1);
$post = $col_posts->getFirstItem();

You can customize your select using magento EAV on the collection above or see the methods available at Fishpig/Wordpress/Model/Archive.php.

And if you want to put a recent post block, take a look at http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/recent-posts-block.html.
