Is there a way to create a large-scale multi-user (which means that users can register and log in) web application / website using php infrastructure like symfony (MVC template) and interact with CMS like wordpress for site management?
My desired goal is to use Wordpress to manage site content, as well as quickly and easily add new features to the site using a huge number of wordpress pluggins, and at the same time, having MVC functionality, I need to create new functions that Wordpress does not provide, but also automatic testing, accessible through the framework.
Initially, many of the functions necessary for the site are already available through Wordpress (for example, creating home pages, blogs, forums, feeds and reviews), but the site must be scalable in a RAD / OOP friendly manner and allows you to automate the test that will run on it.
I'm not trying to be lazy, just trying to work smarter, but not harder. I could create my own CMS, blogger, forum, and not through the framework, but why invent all these components if they already exist.
So finally, is this possible, and are there any resources (books, textbooks, case studies, blogs) on how to do this?
early!
