It there a way I can add content from one cms site to another site. Example. I want to add all my sites to the link pages of all my sites. Is there a way I can do it from one cms program instead of logging into each sites cms? Thanks

Hi Glenn,

There's a few ways to do this. If you just want to be able to update a page on all your client sites the easiest way might be to maintain that page on your site and display it on all the client sites with a borderless iframe.

Do you think that would work for you?

If all of your sites are on the same server, it will work without any problems. The line at the top of the page (yours will be different):

require_once "/home/sagentic/public_html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

will normally work no matter what site you put it on as long as the sites are on the same server.

I can't attest to this for all set ups and shared environments as we have our own dedicated servers.

A prime example of what we did is kind of like what you are wanting to do.

Our main CMS installation is on sagentic.org - one of the sections we have is "Portfolio"

On another site, http://www.realtorsdesign.com we display that portfolio (only the real estate listings).

Paste the code as normal. I only had to make one change for the screenshot image to get it to display the image right - I had to expand the url of the image as shown below:

<?php elseif ($upload['isImage']): ?>
<img src="http://www.sagentic.org<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="120" alt="" />

Hi Glenn,

What kind of problems were you running into? Did you see any error message or was this just not working?

This type of setup may not be possible on all hosting environments. As Dave mentioned, you may need to use something like an <iframe> tag to accomplish this. [:)]

I decided to just set it up on each page. Thanks
