Two databases on one page

  • I am using wordpress to create a blog that has news about music, and I want to create a gig guide in the sidebar. I want to do this by linking the calendar to a separate database than the one that has the blog posts, but I want them to be displayed on the same page. Is this at all possible?

  • yes! But it will be easier if you migrate other tables to WP database.

    How do I do that?

    This all depends on what this other database is. Is it custom made database with custom made calendar files? Is it a wordpress database – this having duplicate tablenames?

    Depending on the systems and the architecture behind it – it can be a rather large task. Consider using an iframe for the calendar content – I very seldom recommends iframes, but they have their brighter sides (like this).

    Make a mental note of how familiar you are with SQL-queries and programming – as this could require some work.
