Hi there. Greg suggested I repost this from the user list: For a while now I've been wanting to access magnolia functions and content via external applications, so I'm looking into what options are currently available and any modules or core enhancements that might already exist. The key requirement would be to communicate with the magnolia backend from another application, possibly running on a different server, in order to retrieve content, and to create pages and users within the system. A mechanism like XML-RPC would seem to be ideal for this purpose.
Greg mentioned that this is being looked at for inclusion in 4.0, but sounds like that will be some time away. So my intention is to write a module to add an XML-RPC integration layer to magnolia. Ideally I would like to make this a useful base for whatever mechanism you have planed, as this would avoid duplicated effort and also help with long-term support and enhancement. So are there any rough architecture notes or pointers that anyone could provide on how this should ideally be implemented? And if anyone wants to collaborate on the work then let me know also. Thanks for any input, Simon ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/ ----------------------------------------------------------------
