Just a follow-up. I’ve now got Mambo using the WP template system. The only conflict is the is_email function. It’s defined by Mambo and WP. So I changed the content.php file in Mambo so that it’s is_email is now mos_is_email. Not sure what ramifications this will have on the functioning of Mambo yet.

Creating the index.php for Mambo that ties into WP is pretty simple, just start with

<?php
require('yourpath/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

and put all the Mambo content in the body. If anyone’s interested, I could post a working template somewhere.

I’m starting to use Mambo to publish an online magazine. I’ve been blogging with WordPress and don’t want to stop using it for my blog. My biggest concern is theme matching. I’d like Mambo to use (or at least assume the appearance of) the theme I’m using in WordPress since I’ve taken the trouble to convert my whole site (not just blog pages) to use WordPress’s theme system. (My preference would be to have Mambo use the WordPress themes, but looking at the code for the Mambo themes, I don’t think that would be simple to implement.)
