how to get wordpress data in fishpig magento integration

Question

I need to crease a author block for the wordpress posts in fishpig integration furthermore I need to create an author profile page and recommended posts etc. However inorder to do this I need to access wordpress database values ...Does this extension already reference this data eg:display name post date etc ...are there any other lines of code that reference wordpress data?... like in these lines of code

$post->getPostDate(), $post->getAuthor()->getDisplayName()

or would I have to make a custom query to the database?

Under /app/code/community/Fishpig/Wordpress/Model, you should find some files including these fields.

• Post.php accesses post data
• User.php accesses author data
• Term.php accesses category data

From your description, most of the information you're looking for will be in Post.php and User.php

Examples:

From the post view and any other pages with access to the post class, you can use these:

$post->getPostTitle()  // Post's display name
$post->getPostDate()   // Post's date
$post->getAuthor()     // Post's author, allows access to methods in the User.php file
$post->getAuthor()->getFirstName()  // Author's first name from Wordpress
$post->getAuthor()->getGravatarUrl()  // The url to the author's Gravatar image
$post->getParentTerm('category')  // Post's category, allows access to methods in the Term.php file
$post->getParentTerm('category')->getUrl()  // Category's url
$post->getParentTerm('category')->getPostCount()  // Total number of posts in the category

From the user view and any other pages with access to the user class directly, you can use these:

$author->getFirstName()
$author->getGravatarUrl()

From the term / category views and any other pages with access to the term class directly:

$term->getUrl()
$term->getPostCount()
