Single Domain Multiple WordPress Version ; Stuck

    Hello Guys,

    I’d like to know a method to accomplish the following scenario.

    There is a host. (Ex hostgator.com)
    There is a domain (Ex. keebod.com)
    There is a Database (Ex. wp_mainsite)

    On the navigation-bar, there would be links like About, Home, Contact, Forum, Blog, and “my_app”

    Things about About, home and contact come under basics and got no problem.

    The problem is with the rest of the sections.
    I would be installing bbPress kinda bulletin board linked to the “forum button”.
    I would be installing wordpress 3.04 to a directory linked to “Blog button”.
    I would be installing wordpress 3.04 to a directory linked to “my_app button”.

    Now, the original website (keebod.com in my example) is already a wordpress install, though 2.9 version.

    Will this setup workout? And how to accomplish this either the clean way, or the dirty way..?

    Thanks a lot in advance, and regards,
    Keeb.

    I see no reason why you can’t use one install.

    The blog “button” can be a link to the blog posts archive. So can the my_apps. just… make your posts for the app in the app category.

    The problem is that I don’t have access to the original domain.
    My access would only be for the ‘my_app’ section within the whole website where I have to create an app. When the user clicks that section’s button, only from then on, my work is gonnabe displayed.

    So, the confusion is that when I develop locally, should I be installing wordpress in a folder called “my_app”, and then work on the creation?

    Or, should i just create the html site for the app, and give it to the developer dealing with the original wordpress website (keebod.com example)

    Talk to your client’s developer and see how they are going to manage that link on their menu. Is it to a single page? Another install?

    They are the ones who are deciding, so me telling you which way to go is… guessing, at best.

    And without knowing what your app even *is* (a flash game? A wordpress plugin?) it’s even harder.

    Oh, they just call it as an app. In real for me, it would be like a mini-site-displayed-within-an-iframe.

    Other than html/css/jquery/php, there is nothing used to call it as an app. There would be a hell lotta user input forms from where data would be taken and stored on the original website’s database. This data would be displayed when the user log-in and goes to this my_app section.
