I want to ask a question concering what is possible using the API.

I have two CMS web sites, Site A and Site B.  from Site B, I woudl like to
access some content from Site A and display in on a page.  The reason for
this is that Site B is a "portal site" to several different CMS web sites.
The customer would like to have some content from all of the different child
sites diplayed on the portal page so it stays "fresh".

The URL and place holder with the content to be extracted from Site A would
be known and constant.

Can content from another CMS site be accessed using the API?

Thanks,

Bill Manring

Hi Bill,

the answer is no.
You would have to implement your own communication method between the
servers.
E.g. using web services or .NET remoting.

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,

Thanks for the response.  One piece of information that I left out was the
fact that both sites are on the same web server and share the same CMS
database.  They are just seperate web sites.

Does that make a difference?

Hi Bill,

sure - then you can use the same API.

Cheers,

Bill,
You may want to consider using "Connected Postings".
