General Support: integrating with wordpress

I have been trying to integrate plogger beta 2 with wordpress 1.5.2 and been running into a lot of issues...

The way I am doing it is I create a wordpress page and then I have a template made for that page that I apply to that page.

I have been working around some my self but I can use some help for these issues:

1) Warnings that I am getting

OK, I know it says that it is a 3 line process but it has been a bit challenging for me to find which files those 3 lines need to go into in wordpress. I finally got some results by putting it in the themes index.php file but am getting following warning

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-globals.php on line 5

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-globals.php on line 5

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-content/themes/Blix/plogger.php:7) in /home/vpahuja/public_html/wp-gallery/plog-load_config.php on line 26
/home/vpahuja/public_html//wp-gallery/gallery.php

The first warning suggests that I am starting a session again, so I commented out the specified line and I was able to get rid of the warning. Just want to make sure that can anyone think of any issues I might run because of commenting out that line?

I comment out the second line referenced in the warning and that seems to take care of it but just want to run by devs here?

2) Search

How can I integrate the plogger search with wordpress search? I do not want to see two search boxes in my page? I can probably find how to get rid of it, but will need some help integrating it with wordpress search functionality.

I think it would be better to wait for the wordpress plugin to be ready. As I see it (and I'm NOT a php expert) "headers already sent" can be correct because wordpress itself also sends these headers. If you want to use it together with wordpress right now, I'd suggest to create a static page with the same layout as wordpress, but without any of the code (like 'wp-blog-header.php').

Plogger uses sessions to store picture sort order and also for whether details should be shown or not.

Commenting that session_start() in plog-globals out should not break anything, because a session has already been started by WordPress and Plogger simply uses that.

I fixed this in SVN as well - http://dev.plogger.org/changeset/198

Thanks jack, I think I got it and will implement it sometime today....

All:
I am still waiting for *any* comments on how to integrate the search !!!

may be I should ask this in wordpress forum....
I guess all I need to do is add plogger tables in the list of tables that are being searched by wordpress...!!

I'm looking for a gallery that will link from a thumbnail to a wordpress post, like such:

http://www.trarr.net/gallery/

I'd also like the thumbnails to be randomly generated in the Sidebar, like this:

http://brandon.slipabuck.com

Someone reccommended Plogger. Is this a good solution?

Vpahuja, I managed to integrate Wordpress 1.5 and Plogger 2 very successfully: www.croila.net (then hit the "photos" link on the sidebar).

What I did was create a clone of the main Wordpress index.php page and place it in the Plogger directory, but make the calls to Plogger within that page and strip out most stuff other than the sideabar and the template:

Only problem I now have is getting the "show details"/"hide details" link to display properly in Firefox ...

I also am really keen to know when there will be a Plogger WP plugin!

Sorry for the previous comment. I found the offending WP plugin. It is WP-Advanced-Stats. When I deactivated it, I was fine. Now I can proceed with further testing of Plogger.

There is an alpha version of Wordpress plugin now, very-very basic, but works. Mostly.

http://dev.plogger.org/wiki/WordPressPlugin

Really hard to say FreeAgent. We are working hard, contributing whenever we have free time. We just took on another developer, so things should pick up a bit. I want to get a release out in the next couple of months.

I can't seem to get it in at all, it keeps coming up weird and when i click on anything it breaks out, i keep getting all sorts of mysql errors
