Depending on the content you want to share - we've done this through building RSS feeds through keywording, then consuming the RSS feed in the CMS through XSLT and then publishing content out. It's not a real time change (the RSS has to be published first) but depending on your needs it can work. Basically the same thing as Jian's suggestion below, but we do it from any project to any other project.
The rough steps would be: 1. Create an RSS content class (assuming this will suit your content) 2. Create a keyword taxonomy (one keyword for each feed) 3. Setup an XSLT that reads your RSS feed (you can either bake it into your page at time of publish, or use a scripting language to display the RSS real time) This isn't a particularly sophisticated method, but allows content authors to assign keywords, and is typically easy for content authors to understand - depending on how you setup your keywords (ie: Site #3 - homepage, Site #3 - News Landing, etc) .dave On 2011-02-11, at 5:14 PM , kimdezen wrote: > Ive had success using the XML method Jian mentioned above.. probably > the easiest and most reliable way (although takes a fair bit of effort > to set up) > > > > On Feb 12, 12:36 am, Jian Huang <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Dave, >> >> Here are some high level overview of ways you can do >> >> - share content class from another project >> - share content from another project >> - via specific placeholder >> - via AJAX call (simply using javascript to grab content from >> another page, parse, display in current page) >> - share from centrally managed XML >> >> -Jian >> >> On Feb 11, 12:38 am, kimdezen <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >>> This is a tough one... unfortunately its pretty messy and not >>> something that your content editors can really do.. >> >>> You use a 'project content' placeholder - which enables you to map >>> this placeholder to another in a separate project/content class.
