Proof of concept

Today, reading a discussion about SMF and WordPress I thought about one possibility: use WordPress themes with ElkArte.
So I started messing around with it. O:-)

See the attachment: it's ElkArte board index rendered using TwentyFifteen, the default WordPress theme, without any modification, just using a "wrapper" that includes 2015's files like it was WP and a series of functions to mimic WP.

Of course this approach has a ton of limitations and quite a bit of challenges, but it looks like it's doable!
Wouldn't be wonderful to be able to use any WordPress theme with ElkArte? ;D

I'll try to add message index and posts and then I'll push the code at github. 8)

Hehe, somebody got jealous that they weren't talking about ElkArte and Wordpress. ;)

It's more that I love drama and what better place to find drama than a WP discussion at sm.org? :P

It would be interesting to see how you did this - the code is at Github?

Nope, not yet.
I stopped just after my last post that for lack of time and the code is still pretty at the beginning.
What I have so far is:

plus few modifications to index.template.php
