Can WeBuilder be integrated in WordPress Online Platform?

[drwjs]

I normally use WordPress online - Theme GeneratePress.
Is there a way to edit the WP pages in WeBuilder to check the code immediately with HTML and CSS validators?
My request focuses on avoiding copy and paste procedures and stay consistant with the codes.
Thank you for your support,
Walter

If you have FTP access to the site, you can edit the pages directly in WeBuilder.

Files like htm, css, php I know. But how to transfer a WP page to WeBuilder? Where do I find a certain page via FTP?

Thank you,
Walter

You cannot edit certain page via ftp, because wordpress has page template. You extract a page via a php script which interrogates database.
So, a certain page must be edited via wordpress dashboard. Or, you create a special page template for your needs.

You could also write a custom plugin for WeBuilder that could communicate with a browser extension like GhostText, which is available for Chrome and Firefox

There are also cache plugins for Wordpress which create static HTML pages. The idea of these is that it speeds up the website, as it doesn't needlessly access the database, etc. You could edit these cached HTML pages. The location of these would be different for each plugin.

Since Wordpress editing is based on textarea/contenteditable, GhostText would be the best way to integrate WeBuilder with Wordpress editing.

Example of Sublime Editor with GhostText:


To integrate it with WeBuilder, you need to setup a small nodejs server to handle communication to/from the GhostText plugin. And a websocket script to handle communication with WeBuilder, to/from the nodejs server.

I think it is too complicated.
It is like killing a fly with a cannon.

If you want to have full-duplex communicate between the editor and other applications, Websockets is the only way to do it.
That's how GhostText works too.

I made a small test plugin, and got it to send data between the GhostText browser plugin and WeBuilder, so it is possible.

I got GhostText integrated with WeBuilder in a new plugin. So far the data transfer between WeBuilder and GhostText is working, but I got some problems with creating a document in WeBuilder. (It keeps creating a new document every time GhostText sends data, even if I compare filenames.) So I guess I'll need Aivars help to finish the lat part.
