Which file to use to base WordPress blog on?

[rgwhitaker]

I purchased a theme for PrestaShop, and now want to begin the process of creating the blog portion of the site.

 

The blog will be WordPress based.

 

The blog (WordPress) files will reside in a /blog directory located below the /prestashop directory.

 

I want to take the basic About Us page from my theme, and use that as a template for the WordPress blog.

 

Which file would I use? There is no aboutus.tpl or aboutus.php file.

 

What I did was open the About Us page in my browser, then I did a View Source and simply copied the html and created the index.php file.

 

The only problem I realized is that the index.php file I now have is not dynamic. The breadcrumbs won't work and I'm wondering if I update the global menu, or footer, in PrestaShop, will it update the blog files?

 

Where do I begin here?

You would actually need to use the generated html, not a tpl file.

When you say "generated html," do you mean opening the page (in this case, the About Us page) in my browser, then open the View Source window, copy the code, and use that?

 

If I do that, will I be able to update my global menus and footers within the PrestaShop admin panel, and will that also update the template within the /blog directory (which is where the WordPress files will be stored)?

 

Thanks.

That is what I mean.

 

You won't be able to update the menus in Prestashop.

 

If you are wanting that, it can be done, but it would take a programmer that knows both pretty well and a couple thousand dollars I would imagine. I don't think there is a commercial module that does that.
